Workshop on SAFETY AND SECURITY OF CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS March 6, 2021
Conducted by :National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)
A District Level Workshop on Safety and Security of Children in Schools was organized by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights. It was a one-day participatory creative workshop on March 6, 2021 for the Principals and teachers of different schools.
The main objective of this workshop was to create awareness and educate the staff members to instruct children on issues pertaining to child rights, child protection and personal hygiene. The focus was on creative expression of these issues which are considered a taboo in the society.
The purpose of the session revolved around the mantra “Do not talk to a child, talk with a child.”
The highlight of the workshop was to learn about the children's rights, ‘good and bad’ touch concepts and dealing with them, personal and menstrual hygiene, importance of nutrition, emergency contact etc.
To achieve this goal, the staff members were guided to infuse their programs and offerings with international and intercultural perspective so that students can move forward with the attitudes and understanding that will provide them with a solid base wherever their studies or work may take them. Primary and secondary school members must further commit to undertake an ongoing external quality assurance process to enhance student learning.
It was an informative and engaging session.
“Learning never exhausts the mind.”
Keeping these words by Leonardo da Vinci in mind, Indraprastha GLOBAL SCHOOL organised an offline workshop on New Education Policy 2020 on March 6, 2021 to apprise the faculty members about the radical changes implemented by the MHRD The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), outlining the vision of India's new education system.
The new policy replaces the previous National Policy on Education, 1986 which will bring transformational reforms in school and higher education systems in the country.
The teachers were briefed about the foundational pillars of Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability and Accountability of Education. This policy is aligned to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and aims to transform India into a vibrant knowledge society and global knowledge superpower by making both school and college education more holistic, flexible, multidisciplinary, suited to 21st century’s needs and aimed at bringing out the unique capabilities of each student.
