Statement of Need
Worldwide, there are 57 million children of primary-school age without access to an educational classroom. Basic education has long been triumphed as a key to lifting people out of poverty and economic development. Of the world’s illiterate people, 35% live in India. India still lacks the basic infrastructure to educate many of its people despite recent economic growth. The majority of Indian children attend government or municipal schools with inadequate facilities & equipment, undertrained teachers, and inadequate curriculum. This is especially true in rural Indian communities.
In India today, almost 40% of students do not complete their education. Those who do graduate, often do so without becoming literate or developing the problem solving, critical thinking, and cultural awareness skill necessary to become Global Citizens.
Solution
Integral Education is an educational process through which students are provided, as part of the educational process, an opportunity to interact with students around the world to develop and work on collaborative projects and solve community problems. Through the processes of Integral Education students are able to better understand the diversity of world views and cultures and develop into conscious, creative Global Citizens
