Gandhi believed in an all-round education that developed the body, mind and spirit of a child. He proposed a basic education system focused on crafts like spinning, weaving and agriculture. The curriculum would be activity-centered and taught in the local mother tongue. It aimed to make children self-reliant through practical skills while also teaching values like simplicity and social harmony. Some key elements were universal primary education up to age 14, using the local culture and crafts, and developing both practical and academic abilities.
