Abdullah
Nursery and Primary School
A mother’s lap is the first school of a
child. However the Nursery & infant schools play a very important role
in laying strong foundation of a quality education. Concerned
primarily with the formal education, these schools are influential
indetermining the interest, habit, character and all round personality
of a student. The old Girls Association of Aligarh Muslim University
Women’s college showed its appreciation for early child hood development
by establishing this Nursery School with the donations received on the
auspicious occasion of the 80th birthday of Dr.Sheikh
Abdullah Saheb who was not only the founder of Women’s College at
Aligarh but also a pioneer in the field of Women’s Education.
Rightfully so, the school has been named
as Abdullah Nursery & Primary School in his honour. It is housed in
Abdullah Lodge, Marris Road, Aligarh & occupies half the portion of the
building with a play ground infront.
Excited and impressed by the successful
completion of the first year (July 1957 to July 1958) the Aligarh Muslim
University took over the management of the school with effect from
August 1958. Although still in its infancy the school has carved a
niche for itself among the top Nursery/Primary school in Aligarh. It
has also earned the praise of both parents and administrators alike who
have expressed satisfaction and appreciation for the care and guidance
offered to the students by its able staff members.
The continued success of the Nursery
school prompted the University authorities to decide in favour of
starting the primary classes(upto class V)from the session 1959-60.
This helps the students to stay longer in
the school and benefit from the able leadership and rich experiences of
the teachers. The age limit for admission to class Nursery has been
fixed at 3 plus years.
Realizing the importance of preparing the
students for the 21st century, teachers use the modern
methods of education like play way method, model presentations,
graphical and diagrammatic descriptions etc. The school is especially
equipped to meet the adequate needs of young students, since they are
the future of our nation. The provisions of proper education is not
only an investment for the future, but it also helps to develop the
intellectual and moral character f a child. The school is heaven for
free self-expression and unfettered play through which children discover
their varied interest and capabilities. All children are given due
importance and treated equally irrespective of their caste, creed,
colour, sex, religion and social status etc.
Since the teachers are considered to be
the builders of a nation , it is the foremost aim of the school to train
children to be productive members of their communities. The rich
heritage of social norms, customs and traditions of A.M.U. are passed on
to the young students without robbing them of their child hood.
