Abstract

It is common for us to associate schools primarily with the curriculum and consider the curriculum alone as a means of education. But schools are much more than that. For the first few years, children grow up in a limited geography predominantly around family, relatives, and neighbours, getting accustomed to its traditions and practices. From this space, they move into schools that are initially alien both in terms of the people they meet, and the culture and practices followed there. Schools are the first social spaces that children are primary inhabitants of and mark the initiation of children into social institutions, which they inhabit as autonomous persons.
