Buildings as Learning Aids (BaLA)
BaLA is an innovative concept towards qualitative improvement in education through the creation of child-friendly, learning and fun-based physical environments in school infrastructure. BaLA is a way to holistically plan and utilize school infrastructure. It incorporates the ideas of activity based learning, child-friendly and inclusive education for children with special needs (CWSN).Basically, it believes that school architecture can be a resource for teaching-learning processes. The concept was originally developed by the Center for Architecture, Architecture Research and Design with support from UNICEF. KVS has decided to adopt the BaLA concept for its schools.
