“Education” they say, does not simply begin with the alphabet. It starts with the mother’s gaze, the father’s approval or reprimand, and with the nurturing environment that fosters a child’s growth. The role of education is not limited to academics but extends to teaching values, cultivating a connection with nature, and encouraging good deeds and virtues.

Education undoubtedly influences every aspect of a child's development, shaping them into the person they become. In a world where change happens at an unprecedented pace, it’s essential for education to address the challenges faced by today’s generation—lost between old social values and new ideologies, struggling with intolerance and conflict. Education must adapt to cultivate not only knowledge but also the values necessary for responsible citizenship.

The generation today is faced with a disconnection from humanity’s core values. If we expect conformity without nurturing their curiosity and intellectual independence, we risk stifling their potential. It’s high time to redefine education to sustain its value and purpose in these changing times.

Drawing from ancient Indian education philosophies, there are timeless values that can guide us. Despite their limitations, these values foster discipline, respect, and cultural heritage. These principles, if applied in modern education systems, can help address the challenges faced by today’s youth.

Our ancient philosophy speaks of life as a battlefield, where inner conflict and selfish desires must be overcome to engage in a dialogue with the higher self. This journey towards self-realization and spiritual enlightenment mirrors the role of education in today’s world. Schools, as temples of learning, can foster these deeper reflections on life, guiding students towards a meaningful understanding of themselves and their role in society.
