The Launch of ‘The Fifth Space – Where Education Meets Responsibility’
A delegation of 10 students headed by the School Principal, Dr Pooja Malhotra and accompanied by a teacher, Ms. Monika Khurana from the School had the privilege of attending the unveiling of ‘The Fifth Space – Where Education Meets Responsibility’ on 24 August 2026 at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi. The initiative was unveiled by the National Commission for Women (NCW) in association with Mount Abu Public School, Rohini.
The event brought together eminent dignitaries, educators and stakeholders committed to creating safer, more inclusive and responsible educational spaces. The programme centred on the need to make educational institutions spaces that nurture not only academic excellence but also safety, dignity, equality, well-being and responsible citizenship. A key focus of the deliberations was gender equality, with emphasis on the need to sensitise boys and young men to respect women, understand gender equality and contribute to creating a culture of dignity and mutual respect.
The speakers also highlighted that student well-being must remain a priority in schools. Schools need to provide an environment where children feel safe, heard and supported. Equally important is ensuring that every child knows whom to approach and where to seek help when faced with a difficult, uncomfortable or unsafe situation. Creating awareness about available support systems can empower children to speak up and seek timely assistance.
The unveiling of The Fifth Space reaffirmed the need for educational institutions to function as spaces where learning is complemented by
student safety, gender sensitivity, social well-being, digital responsibility and leadership development.
The participation of the School in this significant event was a valuable learning experience for all the participants. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our respected Principal ma’am for giving us the opportunity to attend this insightful and thought-provoking event.
