Abstract/Notes: This chapter involves a deeper investigation into the work of various Indian educationists and thinkers, exploring their visions, recommendations, and direct and indirect impact on practice and policy. Notably, they call for an education for both an inner renewal and a social change, both through the process of education and as a result of it. This brings about an education that is intrinsically harmonious and also leads to an education for harmony. The chapter also introduces some of the alternative schools that the book draws upon, not only providing context to the schools, but also striving to create an immersive experience for the reader.

Empire, Civil Society, and the Beginnings of Colonial Education in India

Asia, India, Montessori method of education - Criticism, interpretation, etc., South Asia

See More

Abstract/Notes: This book tells a story of radical educational change. In the early nineteenth century, an imperial civil society movement promoted modern elementary 'schools for all'. This movement included British, American and German missionaries, and Indian intellectuals and social reformers. They organised themselves in non-governmental organisations, which aimed to change Indian education. Firstly, they introduced a new culture of schooling, centred on memorisation, examination, and technocratic management. Secondly, they laid the ground for the building of the colonial system of education, which substituted indigenous education. Thirdly, they broadened the social accessibility of schooling. However, for the nineteenth century reformers, education for all did not mean equal education for all: elementary schooling became a means to teach different subalterns 'their place' in colonial society. Finally, the educational movement also furthered the building of a secular 'national education' in England.

Abstract/Notes: This simple, first-published article by Mario Montessori was written in Kodaikanal, India, and reveals a great Montessori truth that has never been so explicit: There are developmental stages for practical life that cross over into nature study and living experiences. Although more abstract, the second plane has a strong practical life component that connects the six- to twelve-year-old to the real natural world. This emphasis on the second plane makes an even stronger, more unified connection between the developmental continuum that is completely embedded in the natural world before and after elementary. [This article is a synopsis of a lecture on the Kodaikanal Advanced Course of 1943-44, in Kodaikanal, India.]
