What is the picture of the society we foresee? What is the cherished view of the future we hold close to our hearts? What is the vision of education for us? In raising and answering these crucial questions, a school was born, The Heritage School, Rohini.
Education being a means of providing opportunities to enhance the child’s creative expression, cognitive development, socialization and the capacity for aesthetic appreciation, calls for a dynamic view of the tomorrow to be aimed at. All educational activities seek a direction for reaching a goal, giving a serious consideration to the current reality. In a society where independence of thought and action is valued and practiced, there is need to arouse and develop sensitivity to others’ well being and feelings.
Living an era where technology and minds have surpassed their own expectations, there is only the unlimited world of opportunities to be explored. There is bound to be a new explosion of creative and intelligent ideas and a new age of hustle-bustle to be awaited. The aspirations for an even better tomorrow on the basis of the current needs of the society is only bound to make the future more magnetically fast-passed, busy and advanced.
Creativity in arts, literature and other domains of knowledge will only continue to open further avenues of exploration. Job opportunities are forecast to increase substantially in IT-enabled services. Technology and computerization will shape jobs and organizations, be it hospitals, law firms, manufacturing houses, entertainment or corporate houses. Globalization commands the development of international skills like effective interaction with diverse people, sensitivity to cultural differences, resilience to make necessary changes and adapting to the fast-changing environments. Crossing skill boundaries and developing a life-long learning outlook along with the curiosity to acquire and apply flexible knowledge will somehow take-over specialization in just one field, for example, a software engineer with business or legal skills is what tomorrow might favour. Further, jobs will assume an autonomous nature where focused, self-motivated, co-operative employees who can work without supervision will be in demand. Proactive and consultative leaders will replace reactive and authoritarian managers. Team-work will be at the heart of progressive organizations, where competitive ideas will surpass petty competition, where sharing knowledge and facilitating idea generation will be the tools used for problem-solving and conflict resolution. Change is staring us stark in the face. Workload intensity is bound to increase. And the undisputed fact of the matter is that what we’re doing today, we won’t be doing tomorrow.
Hence, our school, as envisioned together by our founder Chairman Mr. N.C. Jain; The Director, Mr. Manit Jain; The Principal, Mrs. Neena Kaul and the eager and motivated staff of The Heritage School, Rohini believes children to the ambassadors of this democratic, dynamic and considerate thinking. We seek to raise a generation of diverse social, cultural and geographical milieu of children that can co-exist in harmony in the tomorrow of cultural and intellectual diffusion. We envision a race that secularly believes in the common core values life and its existence. Where every action is taken to step into unchartered territories of growth, there also is a peremptory need to preserve and nurture our Mother Earth with love, care and green practices. We envision a race that will engineer sensitive growth mechanism that utilize rather than deplete The Earth’s resources. Therefore, with commitment to democracy and the values of equality, justice, freedom, concern for the environment and others’ well-being, secularism and respect for human-dignity and rights, we seek to raise a generation of powerful minds that are skilled to learn to learn; who look at new problems as opportunities to make further sense of the world.
A generation that’ll further create novel positions, skills and traits in consonance with the technological, scientific and artistic innovations is our vision of the tomorrow. We, the community of learners, seek your support in enriching this vision with your candid participation, in the interest of mankind.
