2.  Enlightened Indians played a leading role in
the spread of education as well. They
insisted the government to stress on
education & open more schools & colleges.
 People wanted to have much better
education than that
set by the British. Two
leaders who were very
attached to it were
Mahatma Gandhi &
Rabindranath Tagore.

3. Gandhi's first experiments in
education began at the Tolstoy
Ashram in South Africa. It was
much later, while living at
Sevagram and in the heat of the
Independence struggle that
Gandhi wrote his influential
article in Harijan about
education. In it, he
mapped out the basic
pedagogy. Tolstoy Ashram

4.  The father of our nation was against western
education. He wanted an education that would
help Indians take pride in their past. He valued
practical knowledge more than learning from
books. He wanted all students to learn craft so
that they would become self-sufficient & can
develop a sense of dignity for labor. This, he
believed, would lead to the development of the
body, mind & soul. This was the essence of
Gandhiji’s scheme

7. Nai Talim is a spiritual principle which states that
knowledge and work are not separate. Gandhi promoted
education based on this educational principle.
It means 'Basic Education for all'. It developed out of
Gandhi's experience with the English educational
system. In that system, he saw that Indian children
would be disaffected and their focus would be on
'career’.
The three pillars of Gandhi's education were
 Its focus on the life-long character of education
 Its social character
 Its form as a holistic process.
 For Gandhi, education is 'the moral development
of the person', a process that is by definition
'life-long'. M A D E B Y - S A C H I N M O T W A N I

8. My model of education is directed toward my alternative vision
of the social order: my basic education is, an embodiment of
my perception of an ideal society consisting of small, self-
reliant communities with my ideal citizen being an
industrious, self-respecting and generous individual living in a
small co-operative community. NaiTalim also envisaged a
different role for the teacher, not simply as a professional
constrained by curricula and abstract standards, but rather as
a person relating directly to the student in the form of a
dialogue: A teacher who establishes rapport with the
taught, becomes one with them, learns more from them than
he teaches them. He who learns nothing from his disciples
is, in my opinion, worthless. Whenever I talk with someone I
learn from him. I take from him more than I give him. In this
way, a true teacher regards himself as a student of his
students. If you will teach your pupils with this attitude, you
will benefit much from them.

9. The crux of Nai Talim lay in overcoming distinctions between
learning and teaching, and knowledge and work. It the need to
redefine the relationship between teacher and student, they must each
regard the other as a fellow worker...Instead, the ‘teacher’ was to be
skilled in a kala/hunar (and to derive sustenance from this and not a
teaching salary). The student was to live, work and grow with the
teacher and his/her family. In this process s/he would learn the
kala/hunar — the skill as part of a way of life, code of ethics, web of
relationships, etc. Nai Talim was conceived as a response to one of the
main dialectics of modernity as Gandhi saw it--the dialectic between
human being and 'machine' or 'technology': In this dialectic, man
represented the whole of mankind, not just India, and the machine
represented the industrialized West. It is for this reason, among
others, that Gandhi placed such central emphasis in his pedagogy on
the role of handcrafts such as spinning; they symbolized the values
of self-sufficiency or Swaraj and independence or Swadeshi.

10.  Gandhi's proposal to make handicrafts the centre
of his pedagogy had as its aim to bring about a
"fundamental rearrangement of the sociology of
school knowledge in India" in which the
'literacies' of the lower castes--"such as spinning,
weaving, leatherwork, pottery, metal-work,
basket-making and book-binding“
would be made essential. The other
aim of this use of handicrafts was
to make schools financially and
socially independent.
