Gokhale Education Society, a pioneer in starting schools for tribal in the state, also started the English Medium School at Bordi to avail the facility of learning through English for the poor and tribal students in the rural area.. Acharya Bhise, a great philosopher and educationist who rendered a selfless service for the cause of education in rural area for more than half a century with devotion was instrumental in developing the society’s Bordi centre as an ideal educational centre in Bordi. However the year 1993-94 incidentally happened to be the birth centenary year of Acharya Bhise and Prin. Atmarampant Save, who also worked devotionally at Bordi. The English Medium School therefore was started in commemoration of these two great educationists in the year 1993. Every successive year one division of a higher class was opened by following proper procedure for getting sanction from the state government. Today there are fourteen divisions with students from all strata of the society from Nursery to Std. IV. A small sapling of English Mediun School planted in the year 1993 has now grown fully and started to bear fruits of quality education in English for the students of the area.
It was the need of time to have a new school building with all necessary educational facilities and Gokhale Education Society has fulfilled this requirement in a span of less than one year. Even our parents and donors stood behind us wholeheartedly with their helping hands and moral support in bringing our endeavour of providing new building for the pre-primary school in reality
It is a great challenge to make learn children of Nursery and K.G. particularly from rural area in the language other than the mother tongue. But our teachers accepted the challenge and have been successful in providing quality education in the mould of Indian culture and tradition. Our efforts are to provide free and healthy educational situation in the school so that children will like to come to school happily and joyfully and they would not have any problem in their future learning. We have therefore precisely seen that children should not feel burden and fear in learning process in the school. Play-way method is the most effective method for the Pre-primary and primary students. Nature around is the best teacher of the children in all respects.
Kids like to play in open where they can see nature’s beauty in trees, flowers, birds, butterflies etc. Fortunately our school campus is blessed by nature abundantly. We have taken care of all these factors and make the children play in sand and soil also.
The more emphasis is given on value education, character building and self learning. Number of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities are therefore planned and conducted in the school throughout the year. It is a unique feature of our school that Parents Teachers Association (PTA) has shown great trust on us and they solicit all sorts of co-operation in all school activities. Introduction of Computer Education is another feature of our school.
Twenty first century is big challenge for young students. To make them withstand all the difficulties and lead a very decent and successful life must be the prime aim of Modern education. Educational institutions are instrumental in shaping the personalities of the students in proper prospective. We are quite optimistic in this respect as far as our school is concerned and see that our students not only become only academically sound but also serve this great country honestly to make it a vital force to be a record.
