Words of Wisdom-133: Gandhiji

Question:  

What is your goal in education when India obtains self-rule?

Gandhiji's Answer:

Character-building.  I would try to develop ouragse, strength, virtue, the ability to forget oneself in working towards great aims.  That is more important than literacy; academic learning is only a means to this greater end.

Words of Wisdom-132: Gandhiji

LEARNING BY DOING

True development of the mind commences immediately [when] the apprentice is taught at every stage why a particular manipulation of the hand or a tool is required – Gandhiji

Words of Wisdom-131: Neil deGrasse Tyson

Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth. So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy. Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were 'reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
