A New Era? A case study of Hew Era High School In Panchgani, India

Abstract

For my literature review, I will outline the basic goals and statistics of India's present educational system. I will talk briefly about its significant political and socioeconomic tensions. I will then highlight some of the current thoughts of writers, planners, activists, and theorists on the same topic. The review will serve as a preface to my study of and stay at New Era School in Panchgani, India. Focusing upon my experiences at this particular school, a private boarding school, run by Bahais, for standards (grades) kindergarten through XII, I will attempt to explain the school's goals and purpose, and examine if it works and if it fulfills its own claims and general social needs.
