Education is not about teaching. It is about empowering.
Education is not about telling our children what to do. It is about teaching them how to do it.
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”
Schools with this thought process are more likely to churn enthusiastic children into happy adults. With intense competition and technology to keep pace with, it is only obvious that children may succumb to pressure every once in a while. However, when the approach taken is positive, children can cope with the pressure while preserving their childhood. Isn’t that just what we want?
Unicent School is a classic example of what we are talking about. With a holistic, child-centric approach, the school drives understanding and learning while focusing on every child’s individual needs. Across Hyderabad, the school has four branches – Bachupally, Kompally, Miyapur, and Nagole. Our focus in this article is on the Kompally branch, which is among the best CBSE schools in Hyderabad today.
