Who we are
Nurturing Young Minds with Values,Equality and Meaningful Education
A humane and just society where all are protected, educated, and empowered.
Padivalored envisions an inclusive and compassionate society where every child, regardless of background or location, has access to meaningful, value-oriented education. We believe education should nurture not just academic skills, but character, dignity, equality, and social responsibility. Our vision is to empower rural and marginalized communities through child-centred learning rooted in local culture, enabling children to grow into confident, ethical, and responsible citizens who contribute positively to society.
Mission:
To protect, nurture, educate, and empower every individual by fostering good governance, inclusive and transformative communities that uphold justice, dignity, and human rights.
The primary goal of development is humanization. The poor, through centuries of oppression and exploitation, have been dehumanized. The major task of development is to give back to them their true human image and dignity. Humanization is person’s first vocation; even though it is being constantly negated though injustice, exploitation and violence by oppressors. But, at the same time, it is affirmed whenever the oppressed yearn for their freedom and for justice and when they struggle to recover their lost humanity………. This humanity cannot be compartmentalized by the problems or activities…. In development a person is to be regarded not as an economic entity or even as a political entity, but as a total human person, living in communion with other human persons.” – Desmond A D’Abreo
Goal : Work towards an education for creating a just humane and equitable society.
The Objectives by which we would achieve these was to
To work for the promotion of: Child Rights.
Equality – Equal opportunity and status for children of both sexes.
Eradication of child labour system.
Education and health for all children.
Since values have to be caught and not taught this could be done in our teaching methodologies, the teachers’ dealing with the children and the harmonious involvement of all interested in the welfare of the children bearing in mind that every player in this field of education is equally important.
To let this movement spread in an organized way to the different taluks and to the district as a whole.
Work with communities unmindful of their caste or creed but to concentrate specially on the weaker sections of society and specially those based in rural areas
To strengthen the formal education system and making it more effective, relevant and useful for the children of the underprivileged and marginalized section of society.
To work with the teachers towards making primary education child-oriented.
To make the schools community-centred where the community is involved in every aspect of the running of the school and framing the syllabus.
To have a network of teachers. Teachers too are adults who are the products of the prevalent value system and hence may not be ready for a change. Hence have seminars and workshops on relevant topics which will enable them to think, reflect and act and pass this on to the children placed under their care.
To liaison with the government along with the local communities, the teachers and the local Panchayats when and where change is necessary in the field of education.
To spread the practice of democratic values of equality, respect for every one rich or poor; educated or non educated, literate or illiterate, respect for women and the girl child; cooperation versus competition, sharing versus self accumulation.
To create public awareness regarding children’s problems especially the negative biases towards the girl child, child labour and child rights.
