VillageA composition of many languages, ethnicity, religion do coexists
What is the secret that perpetuates the co existence of these diversities in the villages
School Though physical access is
not denied, children’s cultural values and experience is not captured
What's the secret that denies the diversities of language, ethnicity and gender

Children from Different languages Different religion Different ethnic groups different cultural background
Teachers as authority (on the chair ) and children in culture of silence (sitting on the ground)
Is the school replicate our inherited colonial mind set ?

The As-Is SituationOften the only voice heard in class is that of the teacher.When children’s voices are heard, they are answering the teacher’s questions or repeating the teacher’s words.Do the children’s voice matter? (in side out)Do the children have choices of learning from their language and cultural context ?

The formal approach, of equality of treatment in terms of equal access or equal representation for girls, is inadequate. Today, there is a need to adopt a substantive approach, towards equality of outcome, where diversity, difference and disadvantage are taken into account.(p.6)
![Page 12: Classroom, curriculum, and marginalization mishra](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052622/558cf5dad8b42a690f8b4746/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Marginalized learners, and especially girls, to claim their rights as well as play an active role in shaping collective life, education must empower them to overcome the disadvantages of unequal socialization and enable them to develop their capabilities of becoming autonomous and equal citizens.(p.6)

To make it an inclusive and meaningful experience for childrenTo move away from a textbook culture to connect with children’s life
Child centered pedagogy:Gives primacy to children’s experiencesgives primacy to their voicesgives primacy to their active participation

NO Why
Traditional social biases Mind set of untouchability( high /low)Behaviour /Body language Cultural attitude Sitting arrangement in classroom gender disparity/caste based space management priority to upper caste children and importance to upper caste teachers Neglect to Adivasi and Dalit childrenAll these are invisible in our mind set..

Different make-beliefs on other’s ,language,ethinicity, religion(we all enjoy holidays of other religion but we don’t know the background) Do we know about the Muslims and Christians literature ? Why we fail in understand them ?Is there any source in our education to know their culture?
![Page 16: Classroom, curriculum, and marginalization mishra](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052622/558cf5dad8b42a690f8b4746/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Marginalized children have physical access to the school But they are intellectually neglected Rich human values of Adivasi is not discussed Dignity of labour of workers are not respected Contribution of Muslims are ignored Tolerance of women and girls are ignored Service of Christians are misunderstood

Uniform curriculum and textbooks have little space for cultural diversitiesLocal social, religious or linguistic diversities are not discussed in the classrooms Curriculum designers / Textbook writers and teachers always chant “mainstream” mantra

Faithful follower of text books ( course completion syndrome )Only what is written is knowledge and others are not (exam related texts)Ignores knowledge outside classroom No emphasis to the social composition of the village/city which is constitutive of children’s knowledge and environmentNo or less connectivity with village and school
