Abstract

It is ‘shaping’ the ‘whole’ person, an “all-round development of the body, mind and soul of the individual.” The educational schema includes under the broad heads of physical culture, aesthetics, classics, language, religion, science and technology.” [1]. The purpose is to learn, to understand, and to live in a particular context (including facing challenges) transforming the society by sharing one’s learning and skills, and be (and help others to be) the ‘changeagents’.
