Throughout my 50 years of working in the Indian Educational system, I have been concerned about “the one size fits all” principle that unfortunately underlies the educational system. We have appreciated Ritika and her work for many years and have been happy to sponsor her puppet show “The Learning Factory”. The show itself clearly shows the need for a more inclusive approach to children’s differing learning needs in a fun-filled manner. Even in the creation of the show she inclusively trained people from diverse backgrounds to become its puppeteers, We need more Ritikas who can work collaboratively together to bring about a sea change in thinking so that all children are able to learn happily and in their own way, experiencing repeated success. Well done Ritika!
