This is a more powerful premise to educate children with than the ethic of compete with another. GEMS programme, its dynamic assessments and its materials are designed with the view to:

•

Children are not compared with each other. Teacher and management has the comparative summative information but this is shared selectively during the educational process and is not made the centrepiece of reporting about performance of each child.

After studying at top schools in Lucknow, Viveik started his own two highly successful bookstores in Lucknow which have moved from strength to strength since 1988. As father of a son in the GEMS programme of Dr Sunita Gandhi’s and as a bookseller stocking her books and materials, Viveik got highly interested in becoming a part of this mission to education children better, more joyfully and more effectively. This is what led him to take up the Global Classroom Pvt. Ltd. as a President-Worker.
