SWAMI VIVEKANANDA’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO EDUCATION
Amongst the contemporary Indian philosophers of education, Swami Vivekananda is
one of those who revolted against the imposition of British system of education in India. He
criticized the pattern of education introduced by the British in India. He pointed out that the
current system of education only brings about an external change without any reflective
inner force.
Swami Vivekananda was born in 1863 in Calcutta of a famous advocate of Calcutta high court. Narendra Dutta was his childhood name. From the beginning he was interested in religion and philosophy. But, he was totally transformed after a meeting with RamaKrishna Paramhans in 1888.
Since then he had been a wandering monk. In 1893 he went to attend a World's Parliament of Religions at Chicago. His views on education are found scattered in hislectures delivered at many places in India and abroad which are, now, available in printed from titled as Collective Works of Swami Vivekananda
In the Neo-Vedanta humanistic tradition of contemporary Indian thought,
Vivekananda presented a philosophy of education for man making. The chief objection
raised by Vivekananda against the contemporary educational system was that it turned men
into slaves, capable of slavery and nothing else. About the prevailing university education,
he remarked that it was not better than an efficient machine for rapidly turning out clerks.
It deprived people of their faith and belief. Vivekananda was very critical about this scheme
of education.
