Coles The Story of Phoolban Schools: A great Movement That withered at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The Story of Phoolban Schools: A Movement That Withered traces
the establishment, growth, and decline of the Phoolban schools under
the Muslim Education Society, Mysore. Conceived as the city’s first
sustained urban experiment demonstrating the critical role of pre-
primary education in reducing school dropouts—particularly among
children of first-generation learners—the model was empirically
validated over a period of twenty years.
Written by Prof. Jalees Ahmed Khan Tareen, the surviving founder of
the movement, the book combines first-hand institutional history with
reflective and analytical insight. It documents how early educational
intervention strengthened school readiness and retention, and how
the subsequent neglect of this proven approach—due to managerial
ignorance, shifting values, and a disconnect from the founding
philosophy—led to the gradual erosion of a successful educational
movement. The book offers enduring lessons for educators,
researchers, and policymakers committed to sustainable and values-
based educational reform.
