Arup, in response to your request for thoughts on the topic, here are some of mine...It's great that Goa has made a start in this kind of innovation in education. However, I would imagine it does require a lot of (costly) infrastructure, in addition to staff that have been exposed to teaching in different kinds of environments, locally, nationally and ideally, internationally, too. From a practical standpoint, this concept may not be viable at many other places in Goa...at least, not just yet. This is not to say that it won't be long before it spreads to other parts of the state. I would think that for it to catch on and spread, it does require the support of all genuinely interested communities... parents, teachers, local entrepreneurs and anyone else who has the education of the Goan student community truly at heart, and not those who will support the concept to see what they can get out of it! Regardless of where you may be in the world, you will always find those who will jump on the bandwagon solely for their own benefit! Patsy (aka Patricia)
