Learning

This piece titled ‘Uncovering the potential of nature learning at home’ discusses the importance of home-based nature learning and how adults can facilitate such a process for children.

In an interview with educator Sangeetha Raj, we explore various facets of learning processes at home and how important are the learning journeys of adults (be they teachers or parents) for the children.

We also carry a photo essay that features the work of two Bengaluru-based organizations – Makkala Jagriti and Gubbachi Learning Community – who have been facilitating the learning journeys of children from underserved communities.

Drawing upon their engagement with parents in early childhood education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Atul Gaikwad and Mukta Navrekar provide us with a systematic roadmap of the process.

In her nuanced piece titled ‘Putting a child on a path to lifelong learning,’ Nisha Subramaniam unpacks her organization’s experiences in facilitating the learning journeys of children at home across age groups.

Ria Banerjee and Riti Mukherjee, in their article, discuss the need to be aware of the problems in putting the onus of children’s education entirely on the parents.
