von HanabritAlternative Schools are educational organizations that work differently from the traditional schools; Their teaching methods and curriculums are different from conventional schooling systems.
These schools accommodate those students whose requirements cannot be addressed in traditional schools. Alternative schools focus on behavioral and emotional development, along with academics in an open learning structure. Their teaching methods are considerably different.
They emphasize on individual growth by therapeutic methods of skill development. These schools enroll students with special needs, drop-outs or the ones who do not like public schooling methods. Children with a special talent in a specific field like music, sports can also take admission in such schools for enhancing their talent.
Alternative schools work with the mission of developing confidence, creative thinking and skills among its students, so that they become competent for the future.
Alternative Schools were first established in the 1960s to fulfil the requirements of those children who were not able to cope in the regular school environment. They invited the voluntary participation of students during that time. With the small size of classes, customised curriculum and self-learning environment, these schools gained success.
Alternative schools may be a part of the public school system but are distinguished by their teaching methods. They meet a child’s special needs and focus on them individually. They focus on the inclination of students towards a field and groom them towards that so that they become successful in life.
Some examples of alternative schools in India are; Centre for learning, The Heritage School, Mirambika amongst others. These schools have adopted experimental learning for students to cater to their needs. Academic achievements are not the sole aim of these schools.Deadly US drone attacks in the Middle East and Northern Africa have greatly escalated in the past few years, thanks largely in part to a quickly expanding, yet remote, US base in the Horn of Africa, according to military documents obtained by the Washington Post.
"This Predator MQ-1B crashed while trying to return to Camp Lemonnier, the U.S. military base in Djibouti, on May 17, 2011. It landed in a vacant lot near a residential area of Djibouti city, about 2.7 miles short of the runway." (Photo: Washington Post/U.S. Air Force)Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti has operated as a central command for US attacks in the region for ten years, but in the past two years it has become the pinnacle centerpiece of drone operations in the region, "the busiest Predator drone base outside the Afghan war zone," and a vehicle for the US's expanding war in the region.
A new Washington Post exposé on the base paints a telling picture of the increasingly deadly scenario.
In an Aug. 20 letter to Congress from Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter, Carter explains that 16 drones and four fighter jets take off or land at the Djibouti airfield each day on average. Such flights are expected to increase.
The Defense Department delivered a master plan to Congress in August showing expansions of the base over the next quarter-century. Roughly $1.4 billion in construction projects are now planned, including a massive housing compound holding up to 1,100 Special Operations forces.
These documents "point to the central role played by the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), which President Obama has repeatedly relied on to execute the nation’s most sensitive counterterrorism missions," the Post reports, and represent the "clearest example" of how the United States via AFRICOM is "laying the groundwork to carry out these operations overseas," for years to come.
Dijibouti sits between Yemen, on the Arabian Peninsula, and Somalia to its Southeast, two of the countries facing the most incessant US drone attacks as of late.
The base is also home to over 3,000 U.S. troops, civilians and contractors, including highly secretive "task force" special ops who plan raids and coordinate drone flights. "Most of the special ops commandos work incognito, concealing their names even from conventional troops on the base," the Post reports. Personnel in the camp collectively refer to themselves as the "East Africa Air Pirates."
The remote-control drones, however, are flown via satellite by pilots at the Creech Air Force Base in Nevada and Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.
The Post's exposé on the previously obscured destination comes as the last part on a three part investigative series, showing the Obama administration's ongoing development of a complex database now known as the “disposition matrix,” and a classified “playbook,” which maps out US drone strikes and targeted killing missions for the next decade.
