Tools and Laboratories:

Equipping the school with tools that are necessary for art and craft work is an imperative. These curricular areas can contribute to achieving the aim of making the school space a creative space, only if we can mindfully plan for resources. The heritage crafts require, in their weekly or fortnightly cycles of routine, tools and instruments such as looms, lathes, scissors and embroidery frames, depending on the craft. It is important not to let this sector of curricular planning suffer from gender or caste bias, or else one of its key promises will be lost, namely, the promise of promoting a culture of active engagement with one’s material and human environment, with imagination and cooperation. The same is true for the arts, which in addition to being integrated into other curricular areas would also need specialised materials and tools. The opportunity to handle tools and acquire dexterity in using them, and also learning to take care of and maintain them, are invaluable experiences for all children. Investment in training of the child’s senses and faculties with the help of the arts plays a vital role in strengthening literacy and developing a culture of peace.

Schools, particularly those in rural areas, are poorly equipped with science labs, or equipment for mathematical activities. The absence of such facilities drastically narrows subject options for children, denying them equal opportunities for learning and future life chances. It is hence important that resources are made available for laboratories with adequate facilities in schools. While elementary schools can benefit from a science and mathematics corner, secondary and higher secondary schools require well-equipped laboratories.
