School official with no power

I was excited to visit this Model Senior Secondary Government School in one of the blocks in Rajasthan because a colleague from the Azim Premji Foundation was holding a discussion with a group of teachers on a subject that combined several issues in science and social science. This is typical of our work in the capacity enhancement of teachers in public schools. Instead of merely focussing on the content of various subjects, we make an effort to build teachers’ perspective on the role and essence of education as enunciated in the National Policy of Education as well as in the National Curriculum Framework.
