Synopsis The 20 century has been a period of educational revolution. Momentous changes have taken place. Whereas the education system in advanced countries is knocking at the doors of the 21 century, it stands far removed from life in India, groaning under the weight of accumulated arrears of reforms. The present book is a modest attempt at crystallizing the changing attitudes to education in India. Divided into ten chapters, the book seeks to pinpoint the necessary changes in our attitude to education from pre-school education to higher education. It seeks to dilate upon the changing attitudes to children’s education, English teaching in India, instructional methods, role of teachers, function of libraries, aims and objectives of university education, non-formal education and extension education. It also focuses on the right kind of education the country needs today and highlights the far-reaching significance of education for tomorrow.
