Title

RETHINKING THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION FOR THE CHANGING WORLD: REASSERTING THE HUMANISTIC APPROACH

Abstract

John Locke has rightly said that the story of civilisation is the story of education. Education is an integral part of human life and there is no more powerful transformative force than education. It is at the heart of our efforts both to adapt to change and to transform the world within which we live. In every era choices about education are determined by choices about the kind of society we wish to live in. Society in present times is undergoing deep transformations characterised by new levels of complexities and contradictions and this calls for rethinking the purpose of education. We have to become more aspirational and inspirational to speak to new times. There is a need to reassert the humanistic approach to education to counter the current turbulent times. We have to go beyond the utilitarian vision and human capital approach that dominates much of the education discourse today. We have to reject learning systems that alienate individuals, dehumanise them and treat them as commodities. Contemporary education needs to be more humanistic and less-instrumental and market-driven. How can this humanistic approach be realised? How should learning be organised? What choices should be made to help learners- ‘to know’, ’to do’, ‘to live together’, and ‘to be’? These are some of the questions which have inspired the ideas presented in this paper.
