Good Schools | Inspiring Stories of Indian Government Schools
The Government Primary School at Dhaurabhata, Chhattisgarh is a happy place. A school where children come 45 minutes before school starts and refuse to leave till much after the last school hour. Rakesh Chandrakar, the head teacher, is a young man with a definitive sense of purpose; he and his team are committed to developing and practicing the best pedagogy for their students. Their belief, that all children can learn, albeit in different modes and at their own pace, has made their classrooms inclusive in the true sense. No wonder, the children are loud and chirpy, bursting with curiosity and questions when the teacher is in class and are seen quietly immersed in their work when they are not, a rare sight in any school.
