Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi's Basic Scheme of Education, known as Nai Talim, is a holistic educational philosophy that integrates intellectual, physical, and moral development. Rooted in the socio-economic and cultural context of India, it emphasizes self-sufficiency, practical skills, and the dignity of labor. Central to this approach is the concept of "learning by doing," where productive crafts form the core of the curriculum, fostering self-reliance and economic independence. Gandhi advocated for education in the mother tongue, the inclusion of moral and ethical teachings, and the promotion of community living to instill values of cooperation and social responsibility. Despite challenges in implementation and adaptation to modern contexts, Gandhi's principles remain relevant, offering a model that balances academic learning with vocational training and character development. His vision underscores the importance of an education system that is inclusive, culturally rooted, and capable of producing well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society. Revisiting Gandhi's Nai Talim can provide valuable insights for creating a more equitable and sustainable educational framework in contemporary times.

Abstract

Idealism, a philosophy emphasizing the mental and spiritual aspects of reality, has profoundly influenced educational theory and practice. Rooted in the works of Plato and other classical philosophers, idealism prioritizes intellectual, moral, and ethical development over mere acquisition of factual knowledge. In contemporary education, idealism remains relevant through its advocacy for holistic development, critical thinking, and the cultivation of self-realization. Modern educational practices, such as social-emotional learning, personalized learning, and the integration of the arts and humanities, reflect idealistic principles. However, idealism also faces criticisms for its abstract nature, potential elitism, and lack of emphasis on vocational training. Despite these challenges, idealism offers valuable insights into creating a balanced and comprehensive educational approach that nurtures well-rounded individuals capable of critical thinking and moral reasoning. Integrating idealistic principles with modern educational practices can address current educational challenges and foster a more enriching learning environment.
