The Need For Museum School

The Museum School is an effort to

try and fill the gap in the quality of

education between a rich child and a

poor child of urban India.

Education is the foundation of a

country and every individual has a

fundamental r ight to qual i ty

education. Yet there is a huge

disparity between the quality of

education of a rich child and a poor

child in the same city. In a country

that is growing leaps and bounds,

should such disparity exist? Will it

ever bring equality?

The Government on its own tries

everything to bring children to school

thru free textbooks, uniforms,

bicycles, mid-day meals, but does

little to retain them in school. With

minimal infrastructure, almost no

teaching aids, multigrade teaching

by 1 teacher and rote learning,

quality gets ignored almost always.

Poor qua l i t y l eads to poor

attendance, poor retention, poor

performance and huge dropouts.

What is a Museum School?

In our search to fill these gaps, we

found that the Museums in a city

provide knowledge and a fun filled

learning environment, yet are never

used as centers for regular learning.Their exhibits enable practical and

conceptual learning, even for

illiterate children, yet are never used

as teaching aids. On the other hand

students taking up Bachelor of

Education (B.Ed) courses lack

opportunities for practice teaching.

The Museum School collaborates

with Museums in a city, making them

the regul ar scho ol , matc hes

curriculum with exhibits, and

facil itates a practice teaching

platform for B.Ed colleges. Using

existing Govt. infrastructure (the

Museums) as schools, The Museum

School thus fills the gap by providing

quality education thru quality

teachers.
