Abstract

From General Education: Education is not a mere reflection of the Social and Economic forces at work in a Society. It is also an important means of shaping the socio-economic and cultural forces and determining the direction of their growth. The future scenario of the political, social, cultural and economic sectors will depend on the Contribution of the students of our schools today which in turn will depend on the quality of education we impart. The goal is much more challenging because education has to cope with the rapid changes of the twenty first century which is pregant with scientific and technological changes and innovations, unprecedented socio-economic reforms and cultural awakening. More than ever before education has to be visionary and future oriented.
