The fact that children have their own learning patterns and styles is ignored. Alternative education adopts these styles and patterns in the right way and generates an element of interest for learning. It sees the child as an individual and focuses on all-round development. It emphasises a play-way method of teaching. It concentrates not only on knowledge but also on other aspects, which are completely forgotten in schools today.
Maximum exposure is given to the creative side of the child.
Apart from normal education, the child imbibes moral, spiritual and ethical values. The bottom line is to make children educated literates. Knowledge is imparted not only in the form of lessons, but also through games, stories, songs, demonstrations, excursions etc. Learning is through projects and practical experiences and examinations are conducted in a friendly idyllic atmosphere. The great debate Whether alternate education, by any means, is as effective as formal education is still being debated.
