LIBERAL EDUCATION : SCIENCE OF SELF-MANAGEMENT
Choice • Control • Creativity
Education is defined as the manifestation of the perfection already in man. The word educate is derived from Latin. It means ‘to draw out’. Etymologically education therefore is drawing out rather than pushing in. Deviating from this basic principle of education, the present educational systems mainly focus on feeding information from extrinsic sources. With minimum provision for students to pause, reflect and examine its intrinsic worth.
Students are expected to excel in academic subjects, sports and extra-curricular activities. They have to withstand pressures and overcome nervousness during times of examinations and interviews. Before they realize they are drawn into a rat race of fierce competition and struggle. Scope of education is not merely to provide them intelligence by which they can earn a living. Education should develop the core strength of any individual from within i.e. INTELLECT. Liberal education, uncontaminated with utilitarian motives, should enable an individual to:
- Make right choice at every juncture of life like course of study, career etc.
- Instill core values to control the whims and fancies of your mind.
- Ignite the spark of creativity in you when you confront real-life situations.
