Building & BaLA Initiatives
Building and BALA (Building as Learning Aid) initiatives are educational strategies aimed at enhancing the learning environment in Kendriya Vidyalayas. Here’s a little more detail on each.
Building initiatives: These often involve building or refurbishing educational spaces to better support learning. This may include improving infrastructure, ensuring accessibility to facilities and creating an environment conducive to education. The goal is to create safe, functional, and engaging spaces that support both teaching and learning.
BALA (Building as a Teaching Aid): It is an innovative approach where the physical environment of the school is designed to act as an educational tool. The idea is to integrate teaching aids into the architecture and design of school buildings. For example, walls may contain educational charts, diagrams, or interactive elements that reinforce learning concepts. The environment itself becomes a dynamic resource that enhances students’ educational experiences. Both initiatives aim to improve educational outcomes by creating a more supportive and engaging environment for students and teachers.
