Krishnamurti Education Material and

On Going or proposed Projects

in Education

India is a vast, varied country, and somehow in the less ordered, less regimented society, it seems there is more opportunity for individual initiatives. Undoubtedly there are quite a few educational initiatives flourishing (or struggling) which have something in common with the enquiry-based education that is associated with Krishnamurti's teachings. This is apart from the schools run by the Krishnamurti Foundation of India.

We do not claim to be in touch with many of these projects. A few are listed to the right. A list of some alternative schools that we have heard of can be found at: www.alternativeeducationindia.net/altschools.htm

If people are interested, they should make their own enquiries, directly.

Home-educating is a legal option in India, and more people are becoming interested as they see their children becoming victims of an inhumane state/private educational system. For more information visit the website www.alternativeeducationindia.net

One can also join a discussion group for home-educators and those concerned with alternative education generally at groups.yahoo.com/group/alt-ed-india

The Centre for Learning requires teachers for the coming academic year 08. In fact the school is always happy to hear from people who are interested in enquiry based education; an education concerned with the totality of life. Various arrangements are possible for staff.

CFL was started in 1990 by a small group of teachers who worked at the Valley school, Bangalore – one of the Krishnamurti Foundation of India schools. Many teachers in CFL are still inspired by J. Krishnamurti's educational work. The school has grown, but it is intended to keep it as a small, family-like place. It has a wonderful campus 40 km west of Bangalore.

More details can be found on its website: http://cfl.in

Shibumi is a school that will start in Bangalore, in June 2008. The deepest concern of the school is to bring up children who are free, responsible and concerned with the whole of life.

The teachers are a group committed to self-inquiry in the light of the teachings of J. Krishnamurti. Some have worked for many years in Krishnamurti schools and the  younger staff have studied in these schools.

The maximum number of children will be about a hundred. Children of all ages will be admitted, starting around 6 years.
