Bharath Montessori School Travelling an Extra Mile’ with Right to Education
Abstract
Bharath Montessori Higher Secondary School in Ilanji exemplifies excellence in educational equity by embracing the Right to Education (RTE) initiative. This study examines the school’s approach to implementing RTE through a comprehensive qualitative exploration, including focus group discussions (FGDs) with parents, students, and teachers, as well as an interview with a government official closely involved with RTE. The analysis highlights the school’s innovative teaching methods, community engagement, and inclusive strategies that enhance learning for all students, particularly those benefiting from RTE provisions. Findings reveal Bharath Montessori School’s strong commitment to RTE, demonstrating that it not only provides opportunities for disadvantaged students but also fosters a supportive environment conducive to holistic development. By examining the school’s unique challenges and successes, this study identifies best practices and offers recommendations for other schools aiming to align with RTE policies.
