Building & BaLA Initiatives
Building as Learning Aid, popularly known as BALA, is about developing the school’s building as a learning aid. BALA allows children to learn all the time in the school environment and make learning fun and child-centric. It is about developing the school’s entire physical environment as a learning aid – the inside, the outside, the semi-open spaces – every where. At the core, it is about maximizing the educational ‘value’ of a built space.
The Spaces can be
- Classroom
- Corridor
- Steps and staircase
- Outdoor space
The Built Elements can be
- Floor
- Wall
- Window
- Door
- Ceiling
- Platform
- Furniture
BaLA is about innovatively treating the space and the built elements to make the existing school architecture more resourceful with higher educational value in a child friendly manner.
