The Single-Teacher School: Studies in Education and Psychology

Abstract

Interest in problems of Indian education has been continually on the increase since the attainment of independence. Workers within the country are anxious to know what steps are being taken to eradicate some of the known defects of the systems that prevailed in the past. Governments, private organisations and educationists in foreign countries want to know what steps India is taking to equip her citizens for participation in democratic Government. Enlightened opinion, both at home and abroad, recognises that the solution to our problems of poverty, ill health and low standards of life may well lie in the development of an adequate system of education for the country. The evolution of such a system will have to be based on a survey of our educational attainments till now and comparison with educational practices in other countries of the world.
