It would be to let every child be the planner, director and assessor of his own education, to allow and encourage him, with the inspiration and guidance of more experienced and expert people, and as much help as he asked for, to decide what he is to learn, when is he to learn it, and how well he is learning it. It would be to make our schools, instead of what they are, which is jails for children, into a resource for free and independent learning, which everyone in the community of whatever age, could use as much or as little as he wanted.”

John Holt, The Under- Achieving School, 2005

Can we all work together, help and support one another to build schools as above....

Guru, IT for Change, Bengaluru
