The Challenge of Education in the Modern World
Contemporary life is deeply influenced by rapid technological progress as well as environmental and social crises. Faced with unpredictable change and insecurity, the young generation is easily influenced by materialistic values and the moral degradation of our times. Must they accept this world as it is? Academic pressures, peer pressures, parental expectations and media influence leave very little room for independent thinking and a wholesome growing up. Must they grow up in order to fit into society or can they learn to question deeply what they see?
Nestled amidst the Sahyadri hills and overlooking the picturesque valley of the Bhima river, Sahyadri School is situated about 70 km from Pune. The still waters of the Bhima river, the sound of the wind sweeping over the Tiwai plateau and the quiet dignity of Sahyadri hills create an ambience of great beauty making Sahyadri School an ideal place for learning and inward exploration.
"In our relationship with children and young people, we are dealing with living beings who are impressionable, versatile, sensitive, afraid, affectionate and to deal with them, we have to have great understanding, the strength of love and patience."
- J. Krishnamurti
