katha learning system
Katha’s
child-in-community educational system brings the community
into classrooms, encouraging students to work cooperatively
so as to become contributing members of their families and
communities and responsible, responsive citizens.
Our students learn traditional and non-traditional subjects like genetics and nanotechnology, often through what is relevant to their present and future lives.
Katha believes that if children are to be happy in school, they need to be self-propelled drivers who can make sense of their lives so that their families and communities can also benefit.
The Katha learning system protects student performance through vigilant community participation; and in return the students train the adults in computer skills and help them increase family earnings.
The Community-Based Education Model works with and through our students to push the economic resurgence of our community as well as their upward mobility. This forms part of the school curriculum. Katha Schools educate children in quality ways in the 3Rs, even while they encourage the involvement of communities in strengthening themselves inside out. The invigorating presence of the community's welfare in the daily life of our students nourishes both ways.
