  • A School That Values Connectedness: an Educational Project in the Midst of a Beautiful Natural Environment
    A School That Values Connectedness: An Educational Project in the Midst of a Beautiful Natural Environment Hiroshi Mochizuki Master Student, Master's Program in the Graduate School Division of Education, International Christian University “Many people are highly aware of other people’s happiness and try to share in it. On the other hand, many human beings pay no attention to others’ misery.”1 When thinking about Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), it is probably important to understand how sharing contributes to consciousness of the connectedness between oneself and others, as expressed in the quote above. In this paper, I would like to discuss the educational practices of Rishi Valley Education Centre, which is located in the suburbs of India’s Andhra Pradesh State about 140 kilometers northeast of the city of Bangalore in the state of Karnataka. The institution promotes connectedness between students and teachers through discussion and interaction, and fosters connectedness with nature by enabling students and teachers to experience the blessings of the natural environment. The Natural Environment of Rishi Valley Education Centre The Rishi Valley Education Centre was established in 1926 in Andhra Pradesh State in southern India in order to give concrete form to the educational ideas of the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986). Educational institutions established by Krishnamurti exist both within and outside India.2 Among these institutions, Rishi Valley Education Centre was the first to be established. The spacious 250-acre campus includes the Rishi Valley School, the boarding school that all of the approximately 350 students in grades 4-12 (ages 8-17) attend; the Rishi Valley Rural Education Centre, which provides free educational opportunities for residents of nearby rural villages; a Rural Health Centre that plays the role of a hospital and includes facilities for tuberculosis treatment and for eye care; and a Krishnamurti Study Centre which houses books about Krishnamurti and which visitors can use as a library.

In today’s tumultuous world, I dwell on the importance of that education, and I now recognize it to be a strong grounding force. Having many family members and my husband (whom I actually met at Rishi Valley School) all alumni of Rishi Valley and The School, it is hard for me to pinpoint what I learnt from my “education” in the traditional sense and what I imbibed from the environment that was created for me at home. I have come to realise that the beauty in this, is that one could not have happened if it were not for the other. Thinking back, the focus through junior and middle school was on developing and nurturing awareness in us. With the pressures of routine exams and tests deferred until high school and the lack of a competitive environment, we were free to explore aspects of life that were essential to developing sensitivity. Being surrounded by nature was a fundamental part of developing this awareness in us.

  • The Valley School, Bengaluru
    The Valley School, Bengaluru Invites applications for admission to Teacher Education Program 15th June - 15th October, 2019 (A collaborative initiative of the Schools of Krishnamurti Foundation India) Last date of Applications 15th April The right kind of education begins with the educator, who must understand himself and be free from established patterns of thought; for what he is, that he imparts. If he has not been rightly educated, what can he teach except the same mechanical knowledge on which he himself has been brought up? So, our problem is not so much the child, the boy or the girl, but the teacher, the educator, who needs educating much more than the pupil. And to educate the educator is far more difficult than to educate the child, because the educator is already set, fixed. He merely functions in a routine, because he is really not concerned with the thought process, with the cultivation of intelligence. - J Krishnamurti Objectives of the program The Teacher Education Program is a four month residential program that will enable participants to engage with J Krishamurti’s teachings, their relevance in contemporary times and the educational philosophy that derives from the teachings. It will also involve practical work (internship) at one of the KFI schools. It will provide : • A sustained orientation and development of prospective teachers who wish to teach in schools. • A structured opportunity for interested young people who are either starting out in teaching or planning to make a career change to education. • An opportunity to gain a strong and supple foothold in the ethos and practices of education before taking up full-time responsibilities.
