Abstract
A background of special education and years of
experience in running a Hindi medium school for
migrant children in Kolkata (1994-2004), often left
me and some of my close associates reviewing the
educational needs of children, especially those
from the lower-income groups. My experience
during these years confirmed what many people
already know - a schooling system of 10-12 years
with a fixed syllabus for all neither respects the
individuality and ability of each learner nor equips
them to cope better with life. Moreover, in trying
to fit into the system, most of those at the margins
ended up being pushed out, losing their survival
skills in the bargain.
