At a Khar school, inculcating values-based education among its students, even during the pandemic, is of utmost importance. In a unique initiative, the Jasudben ML School has tied up with Amar Chitra Katha—one of India’s best-known publishers of graphic novels and comics—to conduct online sessions on value education.

These sessions move beyond storytelling. Children are engaged in activities such as identifying different characters from stories, analysing their behaviour and subsequent outcomes of their actions and reactions. According to the school, there is no time like now to impart this kind of education. The pandemic may have put a pause on children’s social life, but it cannot prevent them from learning moral values. Not only has the school added the subject to the curriculum of standards I to IV, it also organises one online class every week dedicated to teaching moral values.
