Inspiring interactive session marks visit of teams from Bhutan, Delhi

Horizon School of Excellence, an initiative of Nehru Sidhant Kender Trust and Shri Gau Rakshni Sabha, that provides education to children from economically challenged sections of society, welcomed its special guests on the school premises — teams from the Druk Gyalpo’s Institute, Bhutan, and Pallavan Learning Systems, New Delhi.

An inspiring and interactive session with distinguished educationists from both institutes marked the occasion. The guests were warmly welcomed by the school community with a special welcome song presented by students of Classes III and IV. Class IV students offered a ‘green welcome’, presenting micro-green seeds to the visiting teams as a symbol of sustainability and growth.

Students from Classes III and IV recited a reflective poem titled “Ek Sawaal Aur”, echoing the school’s annual theme. The performance was followed by a lively and spirited Punjabi folk song that added a local and festive flavour to the event.

The visiting delegates were taken on a guided tour of the school, where they visited classrooms and interacted with students engaged in learning activities. The guests appreciated the school’s focus on student engagement, experiential learning and joyful classrooms.

A detailed presentation by the principal offered deep insight into Horizon’s academic philosophy, learning systems and adherence to the National Education Policy (NEP) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF).

The teams from Druk Gyalpo’s Institute and Pallavan Learning Systems shared the learning process followed in their schools, which centred on the child competing with himself/herself to improve scores. They shared their pedagogical approach.
