Objectives and Activities

1. We are all familiar with the cruel reality. Since birth, our young children are topsy-turvied by various adversities and such persistent blows damage their spontaneous and instinct tender feelings depriving them of the natural and healthy enjoyment. Consequently, they turn into inert, abnormal and incomplete animal who in their subsequent lives fail to exert their presence for health and progress of the society. Despite our knowledge about this reality, we have failed, just like chained animals, to come out of this curse. Our failures have only strengthened the force of adversities which include that of social, family and primarily educational. Far detached from enjoyment, reality and knowledge, the current education system turns us into illiterate mass from our childhood. It is recognized that no effort of any single section of the society is adequate to get out of this situation but a small initiative can certainly be a step toward right direction. This hope, trust and confidence is our driving force.

2.   In this circumstances led us, a group of youths,to establish Shahid Babul Academy under the umbrella of Pallima Sangsad.

3.  We intend to express the purpose of this academic institution by deed and not by words. Yet a few lines will be apt to give a clear idea about the academy:

(a) This institution will create a stream against farcical education for children.

(b)  Motto of Shahid Babul Academy is : Joyful learning and educative enjoyment.

4. In order to unfold the hidden talent, human values and thirst for knowledge of children this institution will:

(a) prepare children mentally to present themselves properly in the society.

(b) create consciousness among the children to differentiate between right and wrong

(c) flourish, through easy education, self confidence, moral fibre and conscience.

(d) teach children to gain an inner urge to be friendly and tolerant to others' views.

(e) make them conscious of civility, social behaviour and self criticism.

(f)  develop a mental state strong enough to apply and exercise own power.

(g) adopt creative tools, such as sports, literature and art to ensure physical and mental health.

(h) create in children the value of love to keep them away from harmful mental feelings such as retaliation, jelousy, inferiority complex etc.

(i) inculcate in children the value to respect the elders and love the youngers.

(j) play lead role in flourishing transparent, natural and vibrant mentality to make children enable to adjust in the society.

(k) above all, bring out and enhance through joyful education the good, healthy & natural potential feelings which will be main force to create resistance against all ill feelings.

5. Since education at all levels will be wholly devoted to childrens' mental need and unfolding of full mental potential, it will completely deny any boundary. The Academy will work to create joy through education and attraction to learning & knowledge.

6. The unparallel environment of the academy will help meeting to a great extent, the mental demand.

7. The teachers will be with the children to take them forward in a slow and steady pace with their devotion and skill. The teachers will be facilitators rather than instructors.

8. Alongside academic curriculum, equal or higher importance will be put on other attractive materials, games, stories, laughter, songs, drawings etc.
