Freedom Concept School, Vellore

DESCRIPTION :

During last fall season(August 2004) few young engineers(Sampath, Latha, Murali, Madan and Maha), scientists (Siva, Ravi) and building entrepreneurs (Siva, Vijay) in USA (a bunch of NRIs) were discussing the recent trends in Indian school education and their impact on future intellectual INDIA. All of them felt that with the current system of education, kids who graduate out of high school are like containers filled with knowledge and they lack the ability to start an independent and balanced life. By the time they graduate, they have already lost their creativity and it is also a genuine to start that, in some cases, kids are even afraid to be creative and self-reliant!!! The mental torture, the kids go through, during the learning process and its effect on teachers and parents are so apparent that it is talked about in every street corner. These observations gave rise to the dream of establishing a place for learning where kids are free to realize their own potential and still be able to hold on to moral , ethical and cultural values of the society.
