Sunderji's National Institute of Open School

CORE IDEOLOGY:-
Statistics showed 15% - 20% of children in normal school becoming school dropouts as they could not cope with the normal school academics as they were either dyslexic had disgraphia , dyscalculia or were ADHD and this was not understood by their peers and were ridiculed or then termed ‘lazy’ and reprimanded by their elders.
