General Education: Report of the Study Team

Abstract

From Introduction: The University Education Commission of 1948-49 has devoted some sections to General Education (Chapter V-Sections 3 to 13) in its report. The- Commission dealt with the effects of over-specialisation and stressed the need for a well-balanced education. After dealing with the place of General Education in secondary schools, they went on to say that “General Education should continue into the more mature years of the student’s life. It should aim at making him familiar with his physical and social environments, and with human institutions, aspirations and ideals.”
