Shri Aurobindo was a philosopher, writer, poet, and nationalist who had influential views on education. He believed education should develop the mind, spirit, and senses of students. His key aims for education included physical, mental, moral, and spiritual development. He advocated for a free learning environment where teachers act as guides rather than instructors, and the curriculum is tailored to students' interests and promotes creativity. Subjects should be taught according to the child's stage of development and include their mother tongue, literature, sciences, and more. The goal is to help students acquire knowledge through their own efforts in a supportive environment.
