In English
The number of students in schools and college is sky-rocketing. We proclaim that formal education, which was for long the privilege of a few scholars and the sons of the rich, is now provided at the very doors of everyone. But, those who expand the facilities for education must examine how far these goals are realised. We rejoice when schools and colleges rise up more and more in every country of the world, without realising that what is happening through them is the worsening of the sickness of the community. Unrest, fear and anxiety are increasing as a result of improper and incomplete education. Education can yield peace and prosperity only when, along with technical skills and objective information, students are equipped with moral ideals, righteous living and spiritual insight. Now, the educational process does not involve itself in these values. It works even counter to them. It is quite unwilling to emphasise dharmic (virtuous) living. It lays no stress on morals.
