Mahatma Gandhi is known all over the world as the anti-colonial nationalist who used nonviolent protests to lead India to its independence. His nonviolent resistance influenced global leaders worldwide and changed the course of world history. However, as great as he is in the annals of history, Gandhi started out from humble beginnings. Primary Education Gandhi attended the local school in his hometown at age nine. This is where he studied basic mathematics, the Gujarati language, history, and geography. He was not a remarkable student in any way, was shy, and was not good at physical activities either. High School Education After completing his primary education, Gandhi entered Alfred High School at age 11. He remained a mediocre student but seemed to have an aptitude for English. However, he did not seem to have performed well in geography. His shyness and timidity still hounded him, but otherwise, he was a well-behaved student. His handwriting remained terribly illegible, and scholars believe that this is because Gandhi originally learned to write on dust with his fingers. At age 13, he was married to a girl of the same age, and it was also around this time that his father fell ill. After India attained its independence in 1947, Alfred High School was renamed Mohandas Gandhi High School. The school stopped its operations in 2017 and was turned into a museum. College Education In 1888, at the age of 18, Gandhi entered Samaldas College in Bhavnagar but soon dropped out. H...

Historical Development of Basic Edcuation Mahatma Gandhi explained the concept of Basic Education through a series of articles in his Harijan magazine in 1937. In the conference at Wardha after a detailed discussion about Gandhiji’s articles the scheme of Basic Education took shape under the leadership of Dr. Zakir Hussain. The following four resolutions were passed. (i) Free and compulsory education should be given to all children for a period of seven years. (ii) The medium of instruction should be the mother tongue, ADVERTISEMENTS: (iii) The process of education should be centred round some form of manual production work in the shape of a craft. (iv) This education should be self-supporting to some extent. The Central Advisory Board of Education set up a Committee under the Chairmanship of Sri B. G. Kher to suggest measures for implementing these resolutions. Then another Committee was appointed under the same Chairman to recommend action coordinating the Basic Education with higher education. The recommendations of both these Committees were approved by the CABE and included in the Report on Post-war Educational Development in India. In 1944, although Govts, both at the national and state levels accepted Basic Education as the national pattern, progress in its implementation was not satisfactory. ADVERTISEMENTS: Through Basic Education Gandhiji introduced a new method of teaching. This method is to teach all subjects through crafts and taken as activity-centred meant t...
