GAP Defence School (GDS) is a dream, a vision, a research and tireless efforts to bring revolution in the present education system.
I, Prof. Tahseen Fatma, Principal of GDS, am proud to be a teacher, a mentor, and an educator. I enrich my profession with a vast teaching experience of 18 years in various prestigious institutions like Air Force School Mumbai, Army School Jammu, R.G. Public School Gwalior, Central Academy Lucknow, G.S. College, and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) including KV Chennai, KV Gurgaon, KV Jodhpur, alongside various renowned colleges across the country. Both my learning and teaching experiences helped me grow as an educator and strengthened my passion to teach.
When I came to Katihar, our team researched the local education standards, teaching methodologies, and the attitude and approach of students. The results of our research were disappointing. In spite of the fact that the students of this region are exceptionally hard-working, the success ratio remained very low. According to various government reports, Seemanchal remains an educationally backward region. This critical concern led straight to the formulation of GDS.
The motto of GDS is "Quality Education for All", where the learning and teaching methodologies are Student-Centric. Here, students learn by doing, and the practical utility of every subject is highlighted so that students not only memorize but actively experience the concepts. GDS is an institution where learning is fun, where every student is made to believe that they are special and unique, and where Career Counseling and Emotional Counseling are treated as regular exercises. Where career scope is truly unlimited, students are consistently motivated and expertly trained to become Doctors, Engineers, Air Force Officers, Army Officers, Navy Officers, IAS Officers, Pilots, Fashion Designers, CAs, Bank Officers, and more.
We at GDS aim to offer all pupils the opportunity to succeed and gain the highest standard of behavior and academic achievement. We provide a broad and balanced curriculum using a multi-sensory and thematic approach that awakens and illuminates a child's intellect in multidimensional ways. We boast a team of energetic, dedicated, and result-oriented teachers with a diverse range of knowledge and experience. In closing, I would like to promise that GDS is completely dedicated to fulfilling its obligations and making a profound difference.
