Basic National Education: Report of the Zakir Husain Committee and the Detailed Syllabus with a foreword by Mahtama Gandhi

Abstract

'National’ here connotes truth and non-violence. And ‘through village handicrafts’ means that the framers of the scheme expect the teachers to educate village children in their villages so as to draw out all their faculties through some selected village handicrafts in an atmosphere free fromsuper- imposed restrictions and interference. Thus considered, the scheme is a revolution in the education of village children.
