This book lays down the fundamentals of schools and schooling. It analyses the main issues and suggests solutions. It compares schooling in India with that in other countries to find out our lapses. It makes a survey of the progress of planning in this direction. It describes recent trends like population education, environmental education, value education and computer assisted education. It also analyses degenerating trends like commercialization of education and schooling for profiteering. Thus, this is a critical and comparative estimate of schools and schooling in India, which should be on the desk of every teacher, educationist, politician and parent. Its message must be heard, pondered and emulated.
