Introduction
 Mahatma Gandhi came up with a special education programme
in 1937. It came to be known as the Wardha Education Plan. It
aimed that, all the children between the ages of 8 and 14 should
receive free and compulsory education in their respective
vernacular languages. This came to be known as Nai Talim or
New Education.
Meaning

By education I mean an all-round drawing out of


the best in the child and man—body, mind and
spirit. By spiritual training I mean education of
the heart. Experience gained in two schools
under my control has taught me that
punishment does not purify, if anything, it
hardens children.
Aims -

According to Gandhiji through education a child must


be able to learn a productive craft to meet his future
needs of life by adopting some industry or business.
Hence, he advocated education for self-reliance and
capacity to earn one’s livelihood as the main aim of
education.
Idea’s Given by gandhi ji

From seven to fourteen years of age, education of each child should


be free, compulsory and universal.
The medium of instruction should be mother-tongue.
Mere literacy cannot be equated with education. Education should
employ some craft as a medium of education so that the child gains
economic self-reliance for his life.
Education should develop human values in the child.
 Education should create useful, responsible and dynamic citizens.
By education all the hidden powers of child should develop
according to the community of which he is an integral part.
Conclusion

An education which does not teach us to discriminate between good


and bad, to assimilate the one and eschew the other, is a misnomer.
Education should be so revolutionized as to answer the wants of the
poorest villager, instead of answering
those of an imperial exploiter
Gandhi felt it was his responsibility to fight for India’s rights.
Mahatma Gandhi was important because he led India into freedom
from the British. Also, he influenced many people and places other
than India.
