MONTFORTIAN EDUCATION AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Education has a very wide connotation. The Montfort Brothers’ organizations, therefore, not only cater to the educational needs of children and youth in normal academic schools but also impart technical education, to the deaf and the blind, the differently abled and engage in village upliftment and social work among the downtrodden and the marginalized.

Montfortian education seeks to work for the total development of the young. They are helped to discover their God given talents and work towards their total development in order to place them at the service of society. It seeks to enable the young to search for the truth by training them to analyse reality, form critical judgments and search for solutions.

It is concerned with forming a moral conscience that is capable of discerning what is good and choosing it..

It pays attention to the development of the capacity to engage in relationship marked by sincerity and self-determination and training to understand the complex political reality and to enter it in a constructive way.

It imparts an appreciation of the Indian heritage and enables the students to imbibe its culture and ethos for building a harmonious society, irrespective of difference of faith, language, caste and class and at the same time to remain open to the positive elements of other cultures.

It instils in the pupils values of love, freedom, forgiveness, honesty and justice. It takes full cognizance of the fact that education by its very nature requires a community style and environment and cannot allow itself to be isolated from the social context.

‘Total Education’ which implies a holistic approach to education and which is concerned with the complete development of an individual as a person, is the quintessence of Montfortian education. It aims at developing the body, mind and spirit to the highest level.
