Education and Development

Education in a broad sense has been a process of preparing an individual to know his enviroment and adjust himself to it. A conjecture of a stone age life would  show you a father teaching his son, the arts of tool making, hunting, and self defence; about his enviroment, animals, plants, seasons and his fellow-men, friends and foes. With the advance of civilization the responsibilities and enviroment of man also expanded. The world which be inhabited in stone age disappeared and he had to live in a world which was larger and extremely complex. It was due to be a member of and responsible for a hierarchy of social organizations-family, community and the nation in which he had to assume a role which was very complex as compared with earlier ages of human civilization.

As it is true to any organization, its coming into existense is the manifestation of the fact that a group of individuals organize themselves voluntarily or perforce, with the purpose of achieving certain goals attainment of which would not be possible otherwise. As a member, each individual has to piay his definite role in the organization and contribute to the atainment of the goals for which it came into existance. Depending upon his contribution his place-high or low-is determine in the organization. Same is true to a man's being a member of society or a nation. The only difference which we see between a small organization-a big organization for intance-and a society or a nation is that roles of individuals in a small organization are synonymized in a nation by occupations, profession and institutions.
