EDiversity Conference 2014 "We Need Choices"

A few non-traditional education choices: Primary

Ms. Lee Oi Yee (HK)
Principal, RTC Gaia School

Founding teacher of RTC Gaia School, Oi Yee has been teaching at GAIA since 2007. Before that, she was a social worker serving children and teenagers. RTC Gaia School has an education vision of "Nature, Humanity, and Autonomy". It is revolutionary in the emphasis on nature and simplicity, stressing the importance of being green at heart. RTC Gaia School embraces a child-oriented approach. There is the covenant of living, conference of living and court of living instead of a set of school rules. The educational style is openness, and the way of learning is self-oriented.
