Education philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of education was based on his belief that education should aim to cultivate the "whole person" - the body, mind, and spirit. He believed in the importance of practical skills, manual work, and self-sufficiency, as well as intellectual development and character building.


For Gandhi, education should not be seen as an end in itself, but as a means to an end. He believed that education should empower individuals to contribute to the betterment of society, and that it should be accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic status or background.

Gandhi emphasized the importance of non-violent communication and encouraged students to develop ethical and moral values such as truthfulness, compassion, and respect for others. He also believed that education should be experiential, with students learning through hands-on experiences and direct observation.

In Gandhi's view, education should challenge the existing structures of oppression and discrimination, and work towards creating a more just and equal society. He saw education as a tool for social and political change, and encouraged students to think critically and act responsibly.

Overall, Gandhi's philosophy of education emphasized the importance of holistic development, ethical and moral values, and the role of education in promoting social and political change.
