Department Overview
The Department of Education at CanKids…KidsCan represents education outside of a standard school setting,
for children undergoing cancer treatment. Formal Education aims at activities with children and adults that will
help them learn as per the curriculum and also provide for cocurricular activities. Scholarships are provided to
children who have been reintegrated into their former schools.
A Non-Formal Education is the wise, respectful and spontaneous process of cultivating learning. It works
through conversation, and the exploration and enlargement of experience. Non-Formal education has activities
with children and adults. It will help the children to learn basic education, etiquettes and hygiene factors.
Through the Annual National Childhood Cancer Excellence Awards (ANCCEA), students who are undergoing
treatment and who are survivors, are felicitated for their indomitable will and courage to pursue excellence in
academics, creativity, sports and science and technology.
