Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 In the contemporary world, people have lost knowledge in information and the higher divine wisdom is lost in knowledge. This resulted in everlasting fear of life,alround suffering and suspicion towards fellow beings attracting the concern of the whole world towards quality education.The Indian philosophy of life and Education can be summerised as : TATKARMA YANNA BANDHAYA VIDYA YA VIMUKTAYE AYASAHYAPARAM KARMA VIDYANYAT SILPANYPUNAM That is action which does not conduce to bondage: that is Education which conduces liberation of spiritual emancipation. All other actions would cause mere exertion; other education implies mere skills in craft. The importance of quality education has now been widely acknowledged in all parts of the globe.In Hindu culture, the very term Education 'Vidya' relates only to quality education. In 1990,the World Declaration on Education for All noted that the generally poor quality of education needed to be improved and recommended that the education be made both universally available and more relavent. It could be judged unfortunate that the quantitative aspects of education have become the main focus of attention in recent years for policy makers throughout the world. The quality education should help the student to discover himself or herself and extract from within, the traits of self confidence,independ ence and the desire to face challenges of life with the knowledge weapon. The Oxford Dictionary meant education as development of character or mental powers. The 'Educate' emphasises in giving intellectual, moral and social instruction. Swamy Vivekananda explains about quality education: " The ideal of all education, all training should be man making. Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs roit there, undigested all your life. We must have life building, man making, character making assimilation of ideas " . The wise and noble words of Winston Churchill are worthy to be remembered forever by all the stake holders in the field of education: " The first duty of a University is to teach wisdom,not trade; character, not technicalities " . The Education should cater to Family, Financial, Physical, Mental, Social and Spiritual dimensions of life. ------------ - You are requested to listen 'Quality Education - Quality Life' at: http://www.archive. org/search. php?query= dr.anjaneyulu% 20Goli% 20AND% 20collection% 3Aopensource_ audio http://www.archive. org/search. php?query= dr.Goli%20AND% 20collection% 3Aopensource_ audio%20AND% 20collection% 3Aopensource_ audio Dr.Goli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
