About the Book
First in the series on Education and Society in South Asia, this volume focuses
E on the educational thought of a world-renowned teacher, thinker, and
writer—Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986). This edited volume examines
Krishnamurti’s work and explores his contemporary relevance in educational
endeavours and practices in different parts of the country. The contributors
to the volume argue that Krishnamurti sought to change the way education is
perceived, from the mere teaching of curriculum into a life-changing
- experience of learning from relationships and life. Through a
range of essays that address diverse issues and themes,
_~ the contributors seek to uncover the practices
and processes at some of the institutions that
Krishnamurti established in different parts of
rural and urban India. These include essays
on curriculum building, inclusive education,
pedagogy, debates on educational
philosophy and practice, and teacher
education. They help bring out the
barriers and breakthroughs in the
educational processes as practiced
in these schools and how they may
further be applied to other educational
institutions.About the Author
