The SPK Jain Futuristic Academy is a place where the future is nurtured. They are an international K–12 school in New Town Kolkata that offers the ICSE and IGCSE curriculums to pupils. JFA, a division of Shri S. S. Jain Sabha, an institution devoted to education and service since 1928, honored Dr. Maria Montessori on her birthday with a special event that brought together inspirational teachers, pioneers in the field of preschool education, and practitioners in a thought-provoking gathering.

The event took place at the school premises in New Town, Kolkata.

It served as a tribute to the concept and instructional techniques of Dr. Maria Montessori. Maria Montessori created the educational strategy known as Montessori learning. It entails setting up a setting where kids can select from a range of hands-on pursuits and resources to investigate at their own pace. The approach places a strong emphasis on individualized instruction, respect for each child’s own developmental trajectory, and the teacher’s position as a mentor rather than a traditional teacher. Although it has also been modified for use with older pupils, Montessori education is frequently used in preschool and early childhood settings. The celebration took the shape of an enlightening panel discussion, giving attendees a rare chance to investigate the Montessori Method’s tenets and lessons and their applicability in the contemporary educational environment.

Sudeshna Roy, Chairperson of the WB Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Shabina Nishat Omar, State President, West Bengal Higher Education Council, Angelina Mantosh, President of the Catholic Association of Bengal, and Suman Sood, Principal of BD Memorial, participated in the event.

Their participation gave the discussions over the Montessori method of early childhood development and education depth and perspective. Expert educators and Montessori practitioners participated in a panel discussion that served as a forum for exchanging knowledge and insights. Preschool owners and principals are among the guests at this gathering.

The joy and introspection that followed the event’s conclusion brought attention to the enduring value of Dr. Maria Montessori’s contributions. SPK Jain Futuristic Academy extended gratitude to all participants and welcomed additional chances to work together on cutting-edge educational projects in the future.
