Position Paper on National Focus Group: Aims of Education
Published By: NCERT on eSS | Published Date: December, 02 , 2006For a fairly long time now, we have been engaged in the great task of educating the children of India, an independent nation with a rich variegated history,
extraordinarily complex cultural diversity, and commitment to democratic values and general well-being. Given the enormity and importance of this task, it is necessary to create occasions to sit back collectively and ask ourselves, ‘What are we doing in our engagement with this task?
