A Comprehensive History of World Educational Thought

Human civilization is very old and most of the civil-sations had developed their own systems of education. In the early civilizations education was meant only for the Prices. This process of education for the princes continued for quite a long time. The great political thinker machiavelli wrote a book called “The education of a prince” which was meant to give political education to a prince. In the same way Rousseau experimented with the education of children belonging to a lower strata. Pestalozzi also developed a system, of education which experimented with the idea of providing education to children according to their psychological set up. This book dwells on the History of world education in a very sequential way and starts with the Greek education system to the American education system of today.
