Breaking barriers in education: How we can nurture our children for a truly global society
Shilpa Khadse, Vice Principal, International Curriculum, Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad expressed her views on Breaking barriers in education: How we can nurture our children for a truly global society.
Nurturing children to think, feel and connect beyond physical boundaries, mental barriers, and numerous virtual compartments will go a long way in creating a generation of thinkers who will have the collective ability to mend the world and create a truly global society
The word ‘citizens’, originally meaning inhabitants of a city, went on to become inhabitants of a nation. It is amazing how it binds people across cultures, languages and beliefs. I wonder if the word citizen has expanded its horizons or if people have come closer. As the world today is becoming more and more borderless, we are already citizens of the world if we can see it.
