This post is my response to the earlier one.
Many asked me the question which is the title of this post.
And below is the anwer.
Education has been happening even before civilisation
happened. It is because of education that civilisation happened.
The current system of education is a result of Industrial
revolution.
It factors majorly on chronological time. It assumes that
every individual is the moment of receptivity at the same time. It does not
consider the human factors such as emotions and individual capacities and inner
desires and goals.
This educational method was termed successful as the Industrialisation
grew in large bounds and the world got connected due to the Technological
revolution.
Yes it was successful. It triggered a sound economical
revolution in terms of Money. But what about all the rest of the assets such as
Natural resources. Today they are in dire state.
And it also triggered Stress in the society as a whole and
Chaos in the inner space of individuals.
Today, many educationists are in looking out to bring back
the Holistic education. It is not that they did not do it before. But they were
in minority.
One person who had done it earlier is Dr Maria Montessori.
Her method is a result of 22 years of her personal research. She was so
spiritual about it that she did not patent it. She wanted it to grow and adapt
as the world grew. She knew that nature has a way of getting upright whatever
be the situation.
A system gets perfected and honed when it is used
consciously.
When I think of such a system in education where Time is a
factor, it is Montessori method that comes to my mind.
If Time is not a factor, Homeschooling which is parallel to
the Gurukulam system of ancient India is the BEST.
