There are crores of school students, across India, wanting the quality of education to improve. Precisely speaking, 20 crore students studying in schools across India need better education. What will it take to bring about the change? We simply don't have enough quality teachers to bring about this change. SSA proposes a solution.

But everything can be learnt! This principle
immediately shifts the focus from the teacher to the
student.

Nothing can be taught
Mind must be involved in its own
development
Shifts focus from ‘ we-know-what ’ s-good-for-you
syllabus’ (to be drilled into the student) to making
the student participate in a flexible delivery and
learning process. The teacher is more of a facilitator
or a guide here.

Nothing can be taught
Mind must be involved in its own
development
Take the mind from what is near to
what is far
Suggests that the first step in learning is to establish
a context which is familiar / relatable / non-
threatening / relevant to the student from his own
view point. This ensures that the resistance is low
and motivation is high. The mind is enthused to take
the journey now!
