Answers
Answer:
Over the years as one dabbled in education (especially environment education) one faced a number of questions. Questions which were critical but which did not have clear answers and did not get the attention they deserved. Questions like why was our education so fragmented and removed from our lives? Was this data-driven transmission of knowledge a major driver of our being apart from nature as opposed to being a part of nature? Did environment education as a separate subject have merit when other subjects were tuned to churn our job-seekers in the ‘development’ race? Why were our textbooks not sensitive to the realities around us? And more.

Over the years as one dabbled in education (especially environment education) one faced a number of questions. Questions which were critical but which did not have clear answers and did not get the attention they deserved. Questions like why was our education so fragmented and removed from our lives? Was this data-driven transmission of knowledge a major driver of our being apart from nature as opposed to being a part of nature? Did environment education as a separate subject have merit when other subjects were tuned to churn our job-seekers in the ‘development’ race? Why were our textbooks not sensitive to the realities around us? And more.
This book, a guide to textbooks, attempts to answer some of these questions and many others as well. It has been put together by a team comprising members with rich and diverse experiences from across the globe. The team appears to be very clear in its objective and is sensitive to the myriad worlds all around. It proposes embedding sustainable development across subjects. Four subjects (including language) have been discussed at length and the message is very clear – business as before will not work. The design is based on the need to have a fresh approach to education beginning with new generation textbooks suited to the 21st Century. The focus, refreshingly, is on developing competencies such as values, creativity and critical thinking.
