'At
present the student has to overload his mind in preparation for examinations
and he is given too much knowledge to handle with understanding and not
enough time to reflect and to see its connections with other areas of
knowledge'
All people all over the world, whatever their race, climate, creed or colour go through the same stages of development. The general age for children to acquire a language is at around the same age, whether the language is simple or complex. This is acquired through specific sensitivity where the mind absorbs the culture, traditions and language, without being ‘taught’.
There are stages of development like this, which are common to all humanity and we believe that these inner stages of development need to be recognised and the person to be in the best environment to aid each natural stage.
The main very distinct stages are:
- Birth to six years,
- Six to twelve years,
- Twelve to eighteen years,
- Eighteen to twenty four years.

can be learnt from the site of the details envisaged to make learning
enjoyable by catering for these stages.
Places of learning should be exciting and not be
places of strain for both teachers and pupils and not be the schools
which are mostly to be considered a prison by the 50,000 truants existing
at the time of writing.
