School Immersion Program in The EBBSFLEET Academy, UK
Twenty one students accompanied by Mr J.N. Das, director of school and one teacher visited Ebbsfleet Academy, London for School Immersion Program from July 15 -22.
On the first day, students had a guided tour of the school where different departments, laboratories, music and dance room, indoor & outdoor playgrounds were shown. All our students attended the classes as per the time table along with their respective buddies, who helped them in doing the classwork and other designated activities. Students attended classes of Science, Religion, French, Spanish & did various class activities with them.
It was a great learning experience for all, as the British schooling system is quite different from ours. Their classes are highly interactive and productive. Students sit in small groups and do their work in collaboration. They also study almost same subjects like Geography, History, Mathematics, English, Science, Economics, French, Spanish, Religion etc.
After the school hours, students visited various places of Tourist interest like Trafalgar square, Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth Tower, London Bridge, British Museum, London Eye, Wembley Stadium, Greenwich Royal Observatory, Olympis Stadium, Lords Stadium etc.
A visit to the world renowned Cambridge University…...It is the second oldest university in English speaking world & has a huge campus accommodating 31 colleges and over 100 academic departments. We also visited some of the famous colleges on the campus like the Kings college, the Queens college, the Trinity college and enquired about the courses being offered.
We also visited the Oxford University, Imperial College & Christ church college which is one of the largest colleges & an unique institution that has produced 13 British prime ministers. On the last day, all the students gave a power point presentation on experiences, learning, similarities & dissimilarities in Indian & British culture & education system.
