IGH offers a collective teaching and learning experience that would transform the very Educational System

Come and co-develop the education system that you’d like your children to have.

Any transformation comes through understanding and natural acceptance. First, let us understand the meaning of education. Education is lifelong accumulation of knowledge and experience for realization and understanding of life and everything associated with life. Accordingly, education must illuminate all asked and unasked questions that arise in the minds of human beings regarding human life, and everything associated with human life so that appropriate and satisfactory answers can be found through teaching and learning.
The purpose of education is three-fold: learning, understanding, and performing actions. Learning has to do with effective listening, effective reading, and making effective observations so that the listened, read, and observed material can be absorbed, processed and reflected upon until it becomes self-obvious. Understanding happens when learned material becomes part of one’s living. Performing actions involves all actions that lead to making a living to satisfy the needs of the body. A human being must accomplish the three tasks on a continuing basis to satisfy the meaning of life.
Teaching is the process of facilitating learning in a classroom setup. A teacher must attend to students’ needs, experiences and feelings, and facilitate their learning. The teacher must help students develop self-confidence and build character.
It must not be only the teacher who decides what students should learn. At IGH, the students and teachers collectively decide what students should learn, but all will be guided by the principle that education must provide collective understanding about human beings, human sustainability and human justice. And that determines what students should learn. They must learn all the knowledge, skills and attitudes to live in harmony in them, in the society and in nature.
The IGH educational system will afford all students to bring their local problems so that collectively they can find a global solution. The IGH will truly evolve to be developed by the students and for the students offered in an environment of natural acceptance, conducive for transformation.

“There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in which you are; a transfusion takes place; he is you, and you are he; then is a teaching; and by no unfriendly chance or bad company can he ever lose the benefit”

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
