Quotes from the National Curriculum Framework 2005 Ø
Ø
The mother tongue is a critical conduit, that social, economic and ethnic backgrounds are important for enabling children to construct their own knowledge. Foreword, page 4) The fact that knowledge is constructed by the child implies that curricula, syllabi, and textbooks should enable the teacher in organizing classroom experiences in consonance with the child’s nature and environment, and thus providing opportunities for all children. (Executive Summary, page 8)

Ø
Community took part in curriculum Community validated the instructional materials and incorporated their needs and ideas They could understand the classroom and school as a part of their socio- educational system It was a new experience for the community to see that how their experiential knowledge are applied in classroom, and they take part in it. School became the place of community wisdom

56
Responsive MLE schools Ø Teachers
from the community and teaches in mother tongue Ø Desired result is visible in Class I since children are able to speak fluently, read and write with purpose and meaning and understand the text connected to their life experience with the textual knowledge Ø Children are creative and optimistic 57

A classroom story on the wall : Village women as TLM makers
68
MLE schools can be a model for other schools Many innovative activities on language and mathematics can be applied in other Schools Ø Inter school exchange programme in Srujan will help in borrowing the ideas and activities, MLE can generate new methods Ø Other schools can generate support Ø The more they understand, the more they accept NCF and achieve national goal. Ø
69
We understand that Ø Ø Ø
Ø
MLE is not a change in the system, but it is a transformation of existing human resource It is equally a top down and bottom up approach It is based on cultural context, so it is down to the earth, closer to the children, property of the village. It is not to replace the mother tongue or dominant language but to connect the mother tongue with other dominant languages.
