Education is not the mere skill of literacy. It means being empowered, knowing the difference between right and wrong and responsibility to work for the betterment and upliftment of the downtrodden. While literacy may limit you to reading and writing a few words, education ensures that you have a mature and just outlook on your future, are better placed to make informed decisions that benefit you and the people around and most importantly, become a good citizen. Swami Vivekananda’s saying encompasses all of this in a few words. In the ancient Indian practice of the Gurukul system, the focus was not only to deliver lessons but to mould young students into exemplary intellectuals, statesmen, rulers and bureaucrats with exceptional morals and robust values. The learned sages of yore recognised that without a strong value system, knowledge of texts and books was of no use. Modern educational practices have recognised this too.
As a principal, it is my foremost responsibility to ensure that along with excellent classroom teaching, we have a strong emphasis on imparting good values and morals so that the students become leaders of tomorrow in the true sense. This goes hand in hand with the motto of the school-Higher, Stronger, and Brighter.
Along with this, to ensure that students are armed with the proper skillset and knowledge to face the challenges of this century, we ensure the implementation of the latest educational methodologies which have proven to be effective for the multifaceted development of students. For foundational years, we have adopted practices from Early Childhood Education and Experiential Learning. Keeping in mind the demands of modern times, we have also taken up the implementation of 21 st Century Skills in the school curriculum. This ensures that our students and educators have the most enriching teaching-learning experience and thoroughly enjoy the process.
At GD Goenka Public School, Rewari we remain committed to providing the best facilities and atmosphere so that our students feel free to explore and grow into responsible leaders of tomorrow.
