Building & BaLA Initiatives

BaLA is about innovatively treating the space and the built elements to make the existing school architecture more resourceful with higher educational value in a child friendly manner. BaLA is a way to holistically Plan and use the school Infrastructure. It incorporates the ideas of activity based learning, child friendliness and inclusive education for children with special needs (CWSN). Building as Learning Aid, known as BALA, deals with the topic of developing school infrastructure as a learning aid. BALA allows children to make teaching and learning interesting and child-centric at all times in the school environment. It emphasizes on giving a new dimension to educational experiences beyond the textbook, making learning more continuous and lively. BALA is an innovative concept towards qualitative enhancement in elementary education through intervention in school building infrastructure. Since buildings are the most expensive physical assets of a school, efforts should be made to extract maximum educational value from them. Thus, BALA is all about exploring the uniqueness of three-dimensional space as a child-friendly learning resource for all children.
