About ISSE

"Human values cannot be imbibed through textbooks nor can they be gifted by anyone. They come out of one's own heart in a natural way. Education is not merely gaining knowledge-- its foundation rests in action. True Education in Human Values should reflect on our conduct in everyday life."
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

The Institute of Sathya Sai Education will assist teachers in developing Sathya Sai Schools. It is the objective to set up at least one school in all regions of the world. The Institute reccommends these guidelines for establishing a Sathya Sai School:

Preliminary Decision
The decision to start a Sathya Sai School should be made by the Organization of the country. This should be carefully thought out as the name of the Avatar is used. The Organization must protect the name at all cost. Once started, the Sathya Sai School cannot be allowed to fail and the highest standard must be maintained.

No one else may use the name Sathya Sai in setting up a school.

Ownership
Ideally, the land and building should be owned by the Sathya Sai Organization of the country rather than being under rental.

Accreditation
for countires affiliated with ISSE - "The Institute of Sathya Sai Education."

Financing
Sathya Sai Education Trust should be set up with the objective of giving funding and support to the Sathya Sai School and set policies for the School. The Sathya Sai Organization must have full control of the Trust. There must be sufficient fund to keep the school running.

Administration
The Governing Board of the School should be appointed by the Organization with Ex-Officio members on the Board.

Fees
There will be no fees collected. Initially, charges may be made for board and lodgings only. Plans should be made so that, eventually, there will be no charge in anyway.

School Logo and Uniform
The logo for all schools in all countries will be the same except that the name of the town and country will be added. The design will be sent out from the Institute to all concerned. Each country will determine what kind of uniform the children will wear so that it conforms to the traditional dress code, customs and or government regulations of the country.

Training
The administrators and teachers of the School must be properly trained in Sathya Sai Education in Human Values. They must practice these values and the teaching techniques in their own life.
