Abstract
Din ki shuruaat is the name given to the informal assembly organised every morning for the duration of
40 minutes. In the morning we all group ourselves in a circle in the courtyard of the school. Then we start
counting, one by one. This is used for the activities of the day by the teacher who is responsible.In July we found children at many different levels
with respect to their learning standards. The
students were new and most of them had never
gone to school as they were dropouts or have
never been enrolled. We also were not at ease
with them as we had not taught these many small
children. It was decided that every teacher
would
introduce a poem or activity relevant to her
subject to enhance learning for forty minutes at
the start of school. Its duration was also fixed for a
period of forty minutes at the beginning of the
day. This was done according to a fixed
timetable.
As children come to school with lots of energy we
decided to use it in a positive manner. As all
teachers attended the “shuruaat” we thought that
it would be easier for us to engage with them. We
decided to do something different and explored
the themes. As it was to be organised at the
beginning of the school day, it was named
din ki shuruaat.
