शाळेची सुरूवात - डॉ. प्रकाश आमटे
चंद्रपूर जिल्ह्यातल्या भामरागड परिसरात 'माडिया गोंड' आदिवासींसोबत काम करतानाचे अनुभव डॉ. प्रकाश आमटे यांनी आपल्या 'प्रकाशवाटा' या पुस्तकात लिहिले आहेत. या आदिवासींना मुख्य प्रवाहात आणण्याचं, त्यांची पिळवणूक थांबवण्याचं, आणि त्यांना माणूस म्हणून जगण्याची संधी मिळवून देण्याचं स्वप्न बाबा आमटेंनी पाहिलं होतं. त्यासाठी 'शिक्षण' हेच एकमेव माध्यम समोर दिसत होतं. हेमलकशाच्या भागात शाळा सुरू करताना त्यांना आलेल्या अडचणी आणि त्यावरचे उपाय त्यांनी 'प्रकाशवाटा'मध्ये लिहिले आहेत. १९७६ साली आदिवासींसाठी शाळा सुरू करताना आलेल्या अडचणी आणि २०१२ साली पुण्यासारख्या शहरात मुलांना शाळेपर्यंत पोचविण्यात येणार्या अडचणी यांत कमालीचं साधर्म्य आढळतं...

विद्यार्थ्यांचं स्वागत करणारी शाळा...
खेडेगावातली एक शाळा नवीन शैक्षणिक वर्षाच्या सुरुवातीला विद्यार्थ्यांचं मिरवणूक काढून स्वागत करते. सर्व शाळांच्या शिक्षकांनी असा उत्साह दाखवायचं ठरवलं तर...?
Changing their views...and lives!
Vikas lives with his parents on a construction site in Pune. He has been enrolled in a nearby government school. He also attends study classes run by Door Step School at the site. On a recent occasion, Vikas expressed his views about school and study, through these wonderful slogans :-
This is what right environment does with children. It changes their views...and lives!
Well done Vikas!
"Aadhi Roti Khayenge, Phir Bhi School Jayenge"
"Maa-Baap Ki Ek Hi Ichha - Bachche Paaye Poori Shiksha"
"Khushboo Ho Har Phool Mein - Bachche Ho Saare School Mein"
This is what right environment does with children. It changes their views...and lives!
Well done Vikas!

Civic schools to remain open on Sunday
The school board of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided to keep the civic schools open on July 1, a Sunday to facilitate admissions of poor students in municipal schools.
PMC runs 294 schools in the city with Marathi, Urdu and English as mediums of instruction. Over 80,000 students are studying in these schools. A large number of students represent the lower income group.
"The parents of many students work on daily wage basis. They works as construction labours or workers in the fringe areas of the city. If they don't work even for a day or two, they find it tough to make both the ends meet. So these people don't tend to spend their time of weekdays for works like taking admissions for their wards in schools. This affects overall admissions of needy children," said officials of the municipal school board.
"The main aim is to provide schooling to students representing lower strata of society. But practical problems like parents not getting leave, are creating obstacles in the admission process. So we decided to find a solution and the idea to keep the schools open on Sunday to facilitate admissions was mooted," said Ramchadra Jadhav, education officer, municipal school board.
He said that board has directed PMC run schools to keep the admission process open on July 1. The principal of the schools will be present in the school along with other required staff to carry out the admission process. The age certificates and other required documents can be submitted to schools during this period. We have also asked various non governmental organizations , educationists and activists to remain present at the schools on Sunday to help the admission process of these students.

PMC School Admission Form
This is the ONLY document required for enrolling children in any PMC school.
Schools have been instructed not to ask for any other document, such as Birth Certificate, Transfer Certificate, etc.
However, it has been observed that some teachers are asking for all these documents, just out of habit! If any volunteer or parent is being asked about any document other than this, please contact 'Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan' or 'Every Child Counts' immediately!
