The chief aim of Education

       

           The chief aim of education could, better be, represented as a triangular structure, where one side

stands for 'The Development of the learrner', the second side stands for 'The Development of the nation', and
the third side stands for 'The Development of the world'. Insistence should be on the balanced development

of the three.

This would certainly exigent the society into a day when the learner would become more a world citizen and

less a national citizen.

           When such an aim becomes the backbone of the syllabus, at every level of education, the learner

would strive to reach the third side (the final stage of development). In no time, the individual would grow

into a world citizen, who would laugh at his past conventions, that the ancestors fought over thedifferences

that resulted from national barriers.


           It would sound strange to hear that the future world would take a new shape where the world might

take the shape of a single entity like a nation, where today's nations would become a union of states. There

will nothing to do with defence and wars. If any, the need for a united sophisticated defence mechanism would exist
only to fight natural calamity or a catastrophe so that maximum victims are saved from the mouth of death.

The second superficial reason could be the fear of the aliens. Let the world hope that there should not be any
such threat.
