School
Community
school is a system that reflects the ideas of Basic Education envisaged by
Gandhiji. School can be said to be a cross section of the society. Community
school will develop value orientation among children as well as adults through
programmes such as work experience, self government, community living etc.
In
a community school the institution works sincerely for the society and the
society works for the institution. Students actively participate in socially
relevant activities such as construction of roads, sanitation etc. The society
participates in constructing sheds, playground etc required for schools.
Community school paves the ways for developing a sense of citizenship among
children and for filling up the segregation between society and the school.
