Teacher-facilitated learning system

indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/future-foundation.../518579.html
NOVEMBER 7, 2015  - The Future Foundation School in Kolkata has become the first school in Asia to have French as a second language. Considered as one of the best known sociologist of the country, Professor Surendra Munshi inaugurated the learning pageant at the school on November 6. The newly appointed Consul General of France Damien Syed was also present there.
According to newspaper reports, Professor Munshi told the children that they are lucky to study in a school that combines spirituality and academics along with physical development and asked them to make the most of it. The school is based on the educational philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and this pageant showcased the unique teaching methods that are aimed at all-round, holistic development of students.
Damien Syed started his speech by saying, "Suprabhat. Ami ekhane eshe khub khusi hoyechi". There was a lot of cheering from the audience on hearing him speak in Bengali. He pointed out that Bengal and France share deep-rooted historical and cultural links and that the Future Foundation School is the first in Asia to have French as a second language. The school is also the first in Kolkata to get NABET certification.
The school has cultivated an integral and holistic education system by consciously moving away from a teacher-controlled to a teacher-facilitated learning system that makes education fun. As per the school's principal, the parents can come in and see what is taught and how it is taught right from Class 1 to 8. Not many schools take this initiative.

Veerendra Simpi has translated Sri Aurobindo's works to Kannada

RISHIKESH BAHADUR DESAI The Hindu-November 1, 2015
Veerendra Simpi, Kannada essayist, translator, historian and poet, is the lone recipient of the Karnataka Rajyotsava award from Bidar district this year.
The 77-year-old physically challenged retired professor of English has served the cause of Kannada by cross translations between English and Kannada and by contributing to serious literary criticism. However, he will be known for evolving his own form of Lalitha Prabandha or light essays in Kannada that speak of the ordinary things in life, that are witty but have a message.
Son of the illustrious Simpli Linganna, a member of the Halasangi Geleyara Balaga, the legendary fraternity of Kannada writers of the last century, Prof. Simpi trained hundreds of young boys and girls in Hyderabad Karnataka, not only in English, but also in what he calls ‘sulalita’ or simple Kannada.
A devotee of Sri Aurobindo and the Holy Mother, Prof. Simpi has translated their works to Kannada. His other translations include works of Guy de Maupassant, and Bertrand Russel.
“Prof. Simpi has inspired a generation of common people that they can dream of becoming writers. The award is richly deserved and long overdue,” says Basavaraj Ballur, Kannada writer.

Core message of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is pursuit of the Truth, not self interest

  1. The Judge hearing the Mirambika Parents vs SAES & others case is perhaps on leave today. The case is listed for hearing tomorrow. PJ is ‘praying’ that he extends his leave for that’ll further delay the hearing and so the discovery of the Sun. On that and some other basis, PJ hopes to win the case, persuade parents not to appeal and continue taking late Shri S N Jauhar’s legacy and the Ashram down the drain with his engineering college pipe-dream.
  2. In July, ill (read PJ) advised Tara Didi had announced to Matri Store employees that the Store was to be closed ‘as the Ashram had won the case in the High Court.’ After about two and a half months of that self-defeating win, she has now been ill (read PJ) advised that pre Independence / 1947 papers relating to 6 acres plus land in possession of the Ashram (established in the 1960s) without any legal or contractual basis have been found. This is a bluster-stroke indeed! It seems the Ashram acted to acquire the land in question about 20 years before it was established, much before the Mother gave her blessing for its establishment.
  3. The Mirambika Parents vs SAES & others case is about the illegality of the 14/4 and 1/7 shifts of Mirambika by SAES. PJ perhaps thinks its about 6 acres plus land in possession of the Ashram without any legal or contractual basis and or suitability (for a school) of the unsanctioned building built upon it.
  4. Some parents wishing to admit their kids into the Pondicherry Ashram school (neutrals hiding self interest ie need for support from Jauhars) and some whose kids are already there (pseudo neutral well wishers who have taken support from Jauhars earlier) have been deployed by the Ashram to talk to and win over some of the parent petitioners. The conduct of these new back-channellers is worse than that of parents who got their children admitted to the Mother’s International School by signing undertakings without listening to their own souls. Everyone knows them well and they shall fail in their efforts just as they have failed their children by not learning that the core message of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is pursuit of the Truth, not self interest! May the children realize the shallowness of these parents! How can they participate in the destruction of the Mother’s manifest blessing ‘Mirambika’ here and expect the same to flourish for their children in Pondicherry?
