DAY 8: By Michael – SHIKHA ACADEMY VISIT

 

On February 17, 2025, we visited Shikha Academy in Mumbai. The institute was dedicated to research and development, aiming to establish a scalable and high-quality education model for India.

è MAT Model

This model, created and put into practice by Shikha Academy, organizes the learning journey into three phases: students begin with MOTIVATION, advance to developing ABILITY, and ultimately TRANSFER their knowledge to tackle real-world problems through collaborative projects. Additionally, we gained insight into how the model is implemented across nine lesson templates.

 

è CROSS-CULTURAL LEARNING

We interacted with the students to explore the learning experiences in India versus Tanzania, as well as the cultural differences between the two.

 

è STUDENTS WORKS

As we concluded our visit, we took time to appreciate the students’ artistic works, which were showcased on the walls through card displays.
