“Education is not preparation for life, Education is life itself.

                                                                                                         – John Dewey

Education as we all know has an essential role in the life of an individual. It is a tool that provides an individual with knowledge, skill, technique, and information, along with developing his/her social and emotional faculties. It is one of the key components that bring growth and progress into society. It expands vision and outlook to see the world and is the most important element in the evolution of a nation. Children will have a healthy and balanced future life if they are supported with knowledge. Hence understanding the importance of education is the ultimate key for parents and teachers to guide their children to success.

Children of today are gearing up to become the adults of tomorrow. At Shanti Asiatic Schools, we endeavor to stimulate curiosity in the young impressionable minds and equip them with tools to be better Human Beings. The teaching and learning take place in a conducive, student-friendly environment, to facilitate the cultivation of healthy thought processes and groom cognitive abilities. We at our schools let our children be exposed to various sources from whom they can imbibe knowledge and skills instrumental for their overall development.

However, education is not a single concept. It can be fruitful only if it is supported by other educational components and tools. In the digital era, technology is a great resource to provide these tools, both for students and teachers. In the present time when COVID-19 has taken the world by surprise, it is the Technology that has come in handy by way of ‘Online Classes’. While no one knows how long the Coronavirus disease outbreak will continue to spread; we have to first and foremost ensure the safety of all. I am pleased to see, how our children, teachers, and parents have adopted the new norms by their positive energy and commitment.

In the end, I offer my prayers for the well-being of all with the most beautiful verse in Sanskrit,

“ ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः। सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु। मा कश्चित् दुःख भाग्भवेत्॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥ ”

May God bless us all!
