what are the drawbacks of modern education?

Dear Student,

We can draw on the arguments given by Mahatma Gandhi on the drawback of western education:

  • Colonial education created a sense of inferiority in the minds of Indians.
  • It made them see Western civilisation as superior, and destroyed the pride they had in their own culture. 
  • There was poison in this education,it enslaved Indians, it cast an evil spell on them.
  • Charmed by the West, appreciating everything that came from the West, Indians educated in these institutions began admiring British rule. 
  • It focused on reading and writing rather than oral knowledge; it valued textbooks rather than lived experience and practical knowledge. 
  • He argued that education ought to develop a person’s mind and soul. Literacy – or simply learning to read and write – by itself did not count as education. 
  • People had to work with their hands, learn a craft, and know how different things operated. This would develop their mind and their capacity to understand.
