EDUCATION

               Education is a life-long learning process of an individual for a meaningful life in the world. Only with the help of education, the man may be a civilized and cultured individual. Different educationists interpreted the term ‘Education’ differently.

               Tagore remarks, “Education means entering the mind to find out that ultimate truth which emancipates us from the bondage of the dust and gives us the wealth, not of things but of inner light, not of the power but of love, making this truth its own and giving expression to it”.

               Conenius says “All those who are born as human-beings need education because they are destined to be real men not wild beasts, dull animals and clumps of wood” (Regunath Safaya, 1994, P. 5).

               John Dewey defines, “Education is the process of living through a continuous reconstruction of experiences. It is the development of all those capacities in the individual which will enable him to control his environment and fulfill his responsibilities” (Regunath Safaya, 1994, P. 5).
