About
The Hummingbird School is one among the very few schools working on operationalizing holistic education for underserved children from rural/tribal/remote communities as laid out in the National Education Policy 2020 of the country. In a world changing as rapidly as today, education can no longer serve as a catch up but must rather prepare children from even the most vulnerable circumstances to face any challenges, exercise agency and live a dignified life.
​
The school is endeavoring to create a feasible and high quality education model to support not just academics, but social, physical, and emotional development of the child. The school has been drawing visitors who are educators, social workers etc from across the island, across the Northeast and even across the country. They come, train with us, engage with the school processes and take back practices to use in their own learning communities. Thus, our work supports not just the quality of education at The Hummingbird School, but countless children and educators. Over the past years, we have had educators from organizations like The Ant, Sunbird Trust, NEAID, Aide et Action, Kaziranga University, Dibrugarh University etc. come to visit and train with us. The Hummingbird School has hosted and trained 150+ external educators over the years. We imagine that each of these educators would further impact the quality of education of at least 25 children each, i.e 3,750 children. Additionally, the learnings and practices from the school also inform the work of Ayang Trust’s* Education Programs working towards enabling quality education for communities across Northeast India.
​
*The Hummingbird School is run by Ayang Trust, a registered non profit organisation.
We believe our children can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.

& while that is in the works,
