Educational Babus catch Taare

Babus catch 'Taare', Aamir's celluloid lessons to hit schools soon

New Delhi, January 7 All senior officials of the state government's Education department were recently pulled to a theatre by department secretary Reena Ray to watch Aamir Khan's Taare Zameen Par — a movie that asks parents, teachers and also the system to build an awareness of what is significant to a particular child. Ray wanted to sensitise officials to the needs of children, and is ready to implement some of the innovative methods of teaching encouraged in the movie by Aamir Khan's character, art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh.

The government will borrow several leaves from Khan's movie to be implemented in its schools across the city. Among the more important ones is the technique by which Khan uses the school building, or parts of it, as a learning aid. Ray said, "The 'building as a learning aid' method, what we popularly call BaLA, is an interesting skill. The movie portrays several examples of this craft, like when Khan's character teaches dyslexic student Ishan mental mathematics on the stairs of the amphitheatre. We have looked earlier at introducing this concept in all schools, but this movie crystallises the practical approach for us."

I hope Aamir Khan makes Taare parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, that deal with the plight of the blind, mentally challenged, autistic, physically handicapped and poverty ridden kids as well. Then Reena Ray can take the Babus to all those movies to help educate them on the inner hells that these kids face as well.
