Journey from the need for Clerk to that of an Academic Supporter


Editor’s note – The following is a short case study by a Mumbai-based youngster who, in this article, discusses some of the measures he took to implement better learning philosophies in Mumbai’s Municipal schools through the School Excellence Programme (SEP)

Author’s note – I work as a Gandhi Fellow in Kaivalya Education Foundation. Based in Brihanmumbai, and functioning as Headmaster Sahyogi (Coach) for School Excellence Programme (SEP) in Municipal Schools of the city. Here’s I’m sharing two of the experiments by me in Mumbai Municipal Schools. The output is very small but it is a step towards making sure that there is space for child to express himself freely and school especially public funded ones become learning communities-Larger goal of SEP.

Editor’s special note about the cartoon – It appears that our cartoonist who illustrated this article had a dark sense of humour of his own. No offense to the Headmistress.


How much exam oriented, do you think, High School(Class IX & X) and Higher Secondary School(Class XI and XII) education in CISCE-affiliated(ICSE/ISC) schools is?
