The purpose of education is not to open the memory capacity of a child and cram in stuff, till learning will become impossible.
-Sannyasi Shiva Rishi
A child comes into the world with immense potential! The aim of education is to provide a nourishing opportunity for the child’s potential to get kindled and nourished. The personality of the child is composed of several dimensions and development of all these dimensions will be the actual aim of education.
The present school system is focussing on the intellectual development of children, but disregards development of awareness, refinement of emotions, fitness of the body, management of instincts. The environment is lopsided with emphasis on development of subject information, that can help them join in competitive and professional courses, to secure them a high paying job!
While it is definitely important to have resources to fulfil all legitimate and genuine needs and aspirations, an overall development of the personality awakens multi dimensional inner resources, that give a better vision of possibilities in life.
