| Students at the Alice School |
According to educationist S. Chandrashekhar Shetty, there is a need
for change in the Indian education system. The current system encourages “rote
learning,” as students are taught to memorize material for entrance exams
rather than think creatively and critically. “Such a system does not encourage
students with a scientific bent of mind and innovative aptitude and research.
It is some sort of a factory where quantity is there but the quality of the
graduates is really suspect,” Shetty told The
Hindu.
In recognizing this problem, Alice Project founder Valentino
Giacomin has built a unique educational curriculum that emphasizes self-consciousness
and the preservation of cultural beliefs alongside traditional learning. This
Universal Education methodology allows students to simultaneously cultivate
knowledge, understanding, and values, and has been recognized by the Indian
government, the international community, and His holiness the Dalai Lama. Alice
schools prepare students to become critical thinkers and good citizens.
