Skill-based Education

SKILL EDUCATION

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

– Mahatma Gandhi.

Education should be skill-based rather than knowledge-based so that it will be easy for all students to study faster and understand better. In the present scenario, skill-based education is not a choice but the need of the hour where the demand for skilled professionals is very high and the desire to get skilled is low.

Understanding the need to promote the skill among the school students, the school has introduced Skill education for classes V to VIII and it has found satisfactory results among the students. The students of class V & VI may choose from Vegetable and Fruit Carving, Micro art (Chalk art), Rangoli and Floral Carving, Craft from Waste. Students of class VII to VIII can choose from Creative Art / Sculpture / Tailoring / Micro Art (Chalk art) and Basic Science / Craft from waste. The tenure of the courses is for a period of two years and experts in various fields are appointed to handle the classes in an effective manner. Field Visits are organized to give practical knowledge to the students.
