Vasyl Olexandrovych Sukhomlynsky

The core of Vasyl Sukhomlynsky's system of education was his approach to moral education, which involved sensitising his students to beauty in nature, in art and in human relations, and encouraging students to take responsibility for the living environment which surrounded them. Sukhomlynsky taught his students that the most precious thing in life is a human being, and that there is no greater honour than to bring joy to other people. He taught them that to bring joy to other people, and especially to their families, they should strive to create beauty in themselves and in the environment. There was thus a very close connection between moral and aesthetic education in Sukhomlynsky's approach.

The foundation of all personal growth is health, and Sukhomlynsky gave a great deal of his attention to ensuring that children enjoyed optimum health, especially in early childhood, when character is formed. He took children out into nature often, combining physical exercise with lessons in thought and in the appreciation of beauty. Especially in the primary school, he thought it important that children's thought be associated with vivid images, such as were to be found in the fields, forests and waterways within walking distance of the school. If thought were divorced from the children's direct experiences, it would exhaust them. Sukhomlynsky's holistic educational philosophy thus rested on five pillars: health education, moral education, aesthetic education, intellectual education, and work education.

EVERY CHILD IS UNIQUE

We feel proud, that the vision of administrating this institution did not come overnight just as Rome was not built in a day. Rather, there is a decade of hardships faced by the team of voluntary service organisation named ‘Chetna Munch Chamkaur Sahib’ Besides other social services, this organisation revolted against the orthodox rituals and enlightened people with traditional values by organising annual cultural programmes. Students of different educational institutes of Chamkaur Sahib participated in this league.

According to the statistics of a study conducted on 1100 students of 6 educational institutions in 1996, the problems faced by the students came to light. Their agony was penned down in a book named ‘Sadi Vi Suno’.

UNTRODDEN PATH CHALLENGES ACCEPTED

It is beyond doubt that it is difficult to make students responsible citizens of future. The corrupt environment of Indian community is influencing them at every step. Besides this, education department is no longer dedicated towards their profession.

The sole moto of our institution is to justify coming generation with bright future.

• They are taught moral values through preaches, sermons and cultural activities.
• They are taught to become patriots and be obedient towards their parents, teachers, elders and affectionate towards the young.
• They are also taught to be merciless towards enemies of their motherland.
• They are taught to stand together.
• They are instigated to be aware of social evils.
• They are also made to realise the preciousness of time.
• They are shown the bright person of future, who they are themselves. So, they should apply all their might to achieve that.

No doubt, that the students from other institutes are inculcated with bad habits, but the strict discipline of our institute removes the bad in them and improve their personality. Only a child having quest for education and becoming good human being can survive in our educational institute.

The faculty is awarded with handsome salary according to their qualification as compared to other private institutes. Last but not the least, we cannot repay the selfless and dedicated service of the teacher.
