School Project
Introduction:
His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be inaugarating the Serkong School - Tabo.
Purpose :
To enable the under privileged parents towards educating their children, the modern education is being imparted at a special discounted fee. Free education will be provided to the orphan children of the valley and the adjoining regions.
Aims and Objectives :
The early monastic education system is not sufficient to fulfill the present needs, because it doesn't provide modern education which is the need of the hour. Therefore students will be taught according to the standard of the national educational policy after which they will be able to pursue their higher studies. Moreover students being educated here will gain sufficient background in their own cultural heritage and awareness apart from modern subjects. They will receive an ideal and well balanced education.
Project Methodology :
|
The
Tabo Chos-Khor Monastery plans to set up a school -- "The
Serkong School - Tabo" with higher level education and fully
equipped with laboratories and computer systems. This pioneering
step was initiated for the improvement and progress of the
inhabitants of the valley, especially the children, who will form
the future and carry forward the glorious traditions of the
valley. The inaccessibility of the place makes it all the more
important to impart scientific and modern education so that the
younger generation remains connected to the world across the
borders of this formidable but heavenly valley.
The
purpose of this project is to create a new learning environment
for the younger generation of the valley. At present there is no
such facility available to them. Most of the parents wish to give
their children modern education but are unable to send them to
other existing modern schools as the geo-climatic conditions are
very harsh and arctic.
To
preserve and promote the ever-diminishing culture, Bhoti (Tibetan)
language and religion of Spiti people so that the coming
generations can uphold their own culture and language in the near
future.
The
project will be implemented with the help of a board of directors
functioning under Geshe Sonam Wangdui, the experienced Abbot of
the Tabo Monastery. The standard of this school will be in
accordance to that of the Central Tibetans School under the
syllabus of NCERT (National Council for Educational Research and
Training - New Delhi.)
