Yoga and Meditation on the Timetable as First State-Funded Hindu School Opens

Britain’s first state-funded Hindu school will open its doors in London today, offering its pupils yoga, meditation and prayer as well as lessons in an outdoor amphitheatre.

The Krishna-Avanti school in Harrow is expected to be vastly oversubscribed. Although there are an estimated 15,000 Hindu children living in the borough, the school will initially admit just one class of 30 four and five-year-olds. It hopes to build up to a total of 236 places by 2014, including a nursery. (More)
