==Neohumanistic education== |
|||
====Key Principles==== |
|||
According to P. R. Sarkar “[[education]] is that which liberates.” (''Sá vidyá yá vimuktaye'' in Sanskrit)<ref>{{cite book|title=''Discourses on Neohumanist Education.'' |author=Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan |publisher=[[Ananda Marga]] Publications |year=1998 |isbn=81–7252–128–6}} (p. 24).</ref>. The Neohumanist philosophy therefore considers education of crucial importance for the proper development of the [[individual]] and [[society]]. |
|||
Neohumanist education is based on some key principles as settled out from Sarkar in his books: |
|||
* Education is for all-around liberation, physical, psychic and [[Spirituality|spiritual]]: the real meaning of education is trilateral and simultaneous development in the physical, mental and spiritual realms of human existence<ref>{{cite book|title=''Discourses on Neohumanist Education.'' |author=Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan |publisher=[[Ananda Marga]] Publications |year=1998 |isbn=81–7252–128–6}} (p. 24).</ref>. This development aims to increase the integration of the human [[personality]]. |
|||
* Acquiring a proper Knowledge is a [[Human rights|right]] and [[duty]] of [[Human|humanity]]: the greatest obstacle in the collective progress of the human race is the [[ignorance]] of the individual mind. [[Knowledge]] is for all, it should be open and free<ref>{{cite book|title=''Discourses on Neohumanist Education.'' |author=Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan |publisher=[[Ananda Marga]] Publications |year=1998 |isbn=81–7252–128–6}} (p. 19).</ref>. |
|||
* Freedom of [[teacher]]s: [[government]]s may submit their [social] and [[Politics|political]] [[need]]s to the teachers, but the teachers should be free to accept or reject the governments’ proposals without interference<ref>{{cite book|title=''Discourses on Neohumanist Education.'' |author=Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan |publisher=[[Ananda Marga]] Publications |year=1998 |isbn=81–7252–128–6}} (p. 3).</ref>. |
|||
====Educational approach==== |
|||
* Universalistic approach: Sarkar stated that every "ism" is detrimental for the individual and social progress. Particularly He consider essential to apply the [[Universalism|universalistic]] perspective of Neohumanism on the educationl dimension.<ref>{{cite book|title=''Discourses on Neohumanist Education.'' |author=Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan |publisher=[[Ananda Marga]] Publications |year=1998 |isbn=81–7252–128–6}} (p. 2).</ref> <ref>''Like [[Parochialism|provincialism]] and communalism, [[nationalism]] is highly detrimental to the minds of [[Child|children]]. Children’s crystalline judgement power is to a large extent sullied by these sentiments. Assertions such as “Everything is in the [[Vedas]],” or “The social system that the great [[prophet]] so-and-so commanded us to follow cannot be even slightly changed because it is based on the words of [[God]],” or “Such-and-such country learned how to make aeroplanes by studying our country’s [[Ramayana|Rámáyańa]] and [[Mahabharata|Mahábhárata]]” are the results of the national, religious or communal rigidities that have been injected into the minds of the students.''</ref> |
|||
Neohumanist education pays particular attention to theacher's approach: |
|||
* First awaken the thirst for knowledge, then impart a proper education to quench that thirst<ref>{{cite book|title=''Discourses on Neohumanist Education.'' |author=Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan |publisher=[[Ananda Marga]] Publications |year=1998 |isbn=81–7252–128–6}} (p. 3).</ref>. A thirst for knowledge must be awakened, and, to quench that thirst, proper education must be given. Only then will education be worthwhile and develop the body, mind and ideals of the student. |
