Children today are exposed extensively to various forms of media and are increasingly drifting away from conventional learning methods

Average time spent by children on TV / Internet is 2 hours a day. Average time spent on quality learning in a day is less than 1 hour

The average attention span of a child today in regular class is about 7-8 minutes

Most of the computer based educational content available in the market is an extension of the textbook

73% schools have audio - video facilities but they are not put to optimum use due to lack of quality and relevant content

Next generation schools will focus on providing a multi-sensory learning experience

FACTS

Source : Survey conducted in 500 schools across 30 cities with inputs from renowned child psychologists and data from the internet

School Cinema is a film-based learning module combined with a fun and exciting film workbook which uses a language and medium that children are familiar with to subtly influence their minds and actions. The films deal with the essential lessons of life like citizenship, national integration, life-skills, values and morals.

The reality of how our children are growing today is very different from what it used to be. Bullying, fear, pressures, stress, sexual predators, classroom violence have all taken over our children, and they have more to deal with than our earlier generations ever did.

And when it comes to teaching our children about this new world, the need of the hour is a method of communication through which we can talk to them in a language they can understand. Films today have an unbelievable impact in society, indirectly educating & influencing thousands across the country.

All this while keeping in mind, that schools today are often equipped with the technology to support this type of learning – but unfortunately, are rarely able to source quality content for the same.

And that was how the idea of School Cinema was born...
