ABOUT MEWAR PUBLIC SCHOOL

Our aim is to:

 

  • Bestow the students with a child-centered education which greatly allows students to achieve greater heights in their future instead of a teacher-centered mode of teaching.

  • Lower primary classes shall be provided with two teachers per classroom and equipped with a variety of teaching/learning materials to make the teaching-learning process interesting.

  • In primary classes, the students shall be taught in such a manner to help them retain what they learn by implementing ‘learning by doing’ methods of teaching.

  • We aim to make each and every student an active participant of all kinds of extracurricular activities. 

EMPHASIS ON GIRLS

We emphasize female education in such places where the girls are not allowed to attend school and are commonly treated like slaves. It is an impossible task for a girl child to seek education, and her rights are denied by the people belonging to such communities. To overcome this, we often conduct camps--awareness programs--to make them aware of the rights given to the girl child by the government and the importance of their education.

OUR HISTORY

Each child is different and learns things in their own way. A common teaching system cannot be applied to every child. Each child needs individual attention, so the teacher has to teach each child according to his/her individual level. Each child should be allowed to grow naturally. While this is easier to say than it is to do, it is crucial for effective education. 

THE NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION
LEARNING PACE OF CHILDREN

Because each child is different, the learning pace of each child is also different. This difference is due to the type of neuro-connections developed in their early days. The learning pace is different for different skills. So it is not best to teach in a time bound class structure. The only reason for this is to manage a large group of children. We believe that children should be allowed to learn at their own pace, which means that they are not forced to carry on at speed that is too quick nor slower than their natural pace. The child should also be allowed to learn at varying levels in different subjects. 

We started our first session in the month of April, 2012. We started with about 180 students and later grew to almost 220. Right away we started monitoring the students’ attitude, behavior, grasping power, efficiency, leadership quality, etc. After the monitoring period we found that nearly 90% of the children scored zero in all the above mentioned aspects. Most of the children belonging to the rural areas didn’t know Hindi, and they only spoke in their local language called Rajasthani. So it was a daunting task for our teaching staff to teach the students discipline that they could apply both in and out of school. All these things are a result of illiteracy and a lack of money. Enormous credit goes to our teaching staff for putting all their efforts into teaching the children discipline and manners in the school as well as in their homes. The school management also extended their useful hands in all matters whenever required.

 

After the monitoring period, we started giving the children a quality education. Monitoring processes became more crucial and teachers started following the guidelines given by the management for the betterment of students, the school, and for society. The main aim of the school is to establish schools in various rural localities for the people who cannot afford fees for their children’s education, which will provide them with a better future. ‘Teaching is not imparting the knowledge of the teacher, but bringing out the innate potential of every child’. 

Our school also serves as a community center and place for religious worship.

  • We offer free informative workshops to nearby parents to encourage them to educate their children.

  • We soon hope to offer computer literacy classes.   

  • In the spring, we provided a rest and water stop for a group of Jaines making a migration through Uniara.  

  • We also hosted a blood drive this past spring; we plan to organize them regularly.

HELPING THE COMMUNITY

Mewar Public School is a big facility that could educate up to roughly 600 students.  It includes a computer room, a tech room (which includes a projector, a document camera, a DVD player, and a laptop computer due to generous donations from a group in the United States), a music room (we have yet to acquire instruments), a playground, a cafeteria, and large grounds surrounding the building.   Each year we will add a grade level up until 8th grade.  Our classrooms contain no more than 60 students with 2 teachers.  In 2012, we opened the school, offering grade levels Preschool-3.  In 2013-2014 we are adding a 4th grade.
