Pandemic has led to surge in interest in different approaches, experts say
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced several parents in Chennai to consider alternate methods of schooling. Interest has surged in new initiatives based on a learner-centric approach, and in home-schooling, especially for younger learners.
Sharanya Dilip and Srikanth Chandrasekaran, founders of The Learning Community at Quest, have started The Unschooling Project, an all-day programme based on self-directed learning. They say parents have shown a lot of interest in their programme, wherein the learning goals of children are prioritised.
