Timira
Raised in a patriarchal family, Timira observed power structures from a young age. She writes about how these dynamics manifest in classrooms, where teachers and students are caught in a web of power and control. She draws on insights from Paulo Freire and Augusto Boal to rethink the role of power in education and shows how embracing the “great thing” can liberate both teachers and students.

Shishu Ranjan
Shishu Ranjan writes about how democratic values were brought to life in a primary school in Uttarakhand. Inspired by the National Curriculum Framework 2005, the teachers worked with the school authorities and student body to organize a student parliament election.

This innovative project not only educated students but also transformed teachers’ perspectives and practices.

Aparna illustrates this with three case studies.
