Sunil Batra (ISP 88-89) is an educationalist who did his Master's in Education (Child Development and Education) at the Erikson Institute of Chicago in the late 80's. Since graduation he has been working on innovative school programmes in New Delhi. His areas of work include school innovation, institutional development and management, curriculum development, teacher training and support, parent education and support, school effectiveness and educational research. Sunil's most recent project is a child-centred school called Shikshanter School.
"the curriculum at Shikshantar is inspired by an interdisciplinary understanding of philosophy, psychology, human development and education. The school follows the principles of integrated education. Integrated Education enables students to make connections between the development of their physical, emotional, mental, social and inner selves. Students are provided opportunities to appreciate the relationships between inside and outside the classroom learning experiences. The objective and outcome is nurturing the 'whole' child, the person."
