Education in Auroville is based on the philosophy of "Free Progress," an experimental approach envisioned by Mirra Alfassa (The Mother). It emphasizes holistic development—physical, mental, and spiritual—over standardized testing and rote learning.
* **Literacy Rate:** Approaching 100% within the recognized resident community. * **School Systems:** Auroville has its own school system (e.g., Transition School, Future School, Last School) which generally do not follow standard Indian educational boards (like CBSE or ICSE) until higher secondary levels, where students may choose to take international or national exams. * **Higher Education:** There are no traditional universities in Auroville, but it serves as a global campus for researchers in architecture, sustainability, and integral yoga.
