Editorial Notes

Abstract

It is only a balanced scientific education that can help to creat "a well informed public and enlightened citizen, that are the best security of a democratic State." The introduction of free and compulsory education for boys and girls from the age of six to fourteen made the western democracy practically sound and safe. In the words of the National Planning Commission we have to convert the mass of mere literates into a body of independent, intelligent workers and responsible citizen of a free democracy. We have to mobilise the entire man power of the country to fit into an over all national plan to work intelligently each in his or her own appropriate role, so that they become real architects of their own as well as their country's prosperity. The scope of the scientific educa-tion in India has been ably visualised in the report of the University Commission, constituted by a group of eminent American, British and Indian educationists and presided over by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the great educationist of international reputation. Dissemination of learning, incessant search for new knowledge, increasing effort to plumb the meaning of life, provision for professional education to satisfy the occupational needs of our society are the vital tasks of scientific education.
