“Literacy in itself is no education. xx the basic education is meant to transform village children in to model villagers. It is principally designed for them. The inspiration for it comes from the village.xxx Primary Education is a farce designed without regard to the wants of the India of the villages and for the matter even of the cities. Basic education links the children whether of the cities or the villages, to all that is best and lasting in India.
The dry knowledge of the three Rs is not even now , it can never be a permanent part of the villagers’ life. xxThe school must be an extension of home; there must be concordance between the impressions which a child gathers at home and at school,-if the best results are to be obtained. Education through the medium of a strange tongue breaks the concordance.
