• For any child, the process of its education must necessarily begin with what it is interested in. It must also continue with that focus.

• The educational experience in a classroom must essentially arise from the dynamic interactions of thoughts and actions.

• A school must rise up as a microcosm of society itself.

• A teacher should not come across as stiff and mechanical in his approach to teaching; instead, he should be a friend and a guide.

• The sole objective of education must be achieving overall progress of children.

• If we understand education to be a social process or social work, then, as long as we are not settled on what kind of society we have in mind, education means nothing really.

• Any knowledge in any subject that is limited to the subject itself – as long as it does not relate to the lives of ordinary people like farmers, sailors, traders, doctors and workers – is merely a collection of information. It is, in no way, connected with life.
