`Shaping Young Minds´

(Project Wisdom)

INTRODUCTION:

The teaching process in our schools & colleges focuses on preparing students for scoring high marks. However; high marks do not guarantee greater success. It is because we need many other qualities besides high academic performance to be successful. Qualities like a person’s total personality, communication skills, positive attitude, time management & general outlook towards life in fact play more important role.  However, most of the students when they enter corporate world lack these skills.

To guid highly ambitious students about importance of soft skills & how these can be acquired       “The English Academy” has started ‘Project Wisdom.’ The core of this project is this modular program called ‘Shaping Young Minds’ and a few workshops for students & faculties. ‘Shaping Young Minds’ is a modular program of six modules.
