Question

Q.7 Read the following passage carefully: [8]

There are two problems which cause great worry to our educationists-the problem of

religious and moral instruction in a land of many faiths and the problems arising out

of a large variety of languages. Taking up the education of children, we see that they

should be trained to love one another, to be kind and helpful to all, to be tender to

the lower animals and to observe and think right. The task of teaching them how to

read write and to count and calculate is important, but it should not make us lose

sight of the primary aim of molding personality in the right way.

For this, it is necessary to call into aid culture, tradition and religion. But in our

country we have, in the same school, to look after boys and girls, born in different

faiths and belonging to families that live diverse ways of life and follow different

forms of worship associated with different denomination of religion. It will not do to

tread the easy path of evading the difficulty by attending solely to physical culture

and intellectual education. We have to evolve a suitable technique and method for

thereby promote and atmosphere of mutual respect, a fuller understanding and

helpful cooperation among the different communities in our society. Again, we must

remain

One people and we have therefore, to give basic training in our schools to speak and

understanding more languages than one and we must appreciate and respect the

different religions prevailing in India. It is not right for us in India to be dissuaded

from this by considerations as to overtaking the young mind. What is necessary must

be done. And it is not in fact too great a burden.Any attempt to do away with or steamroll the differences through governmental

coercion and indirect pressure would be as futile as it would be unwise. Any

imposition of a single way of life and form of worship on all children or neglect of a

section of the pupils in this respect or barren secularization will lead to conflict

between school and home life which is harmful. On the other hand, if we give due

recognition to the different prevailing faiths in the educational institutions by

organizing suitable facilities for religious teaching for boys and girls of all

communities, this may itself serve as a broadening influence of great national values.
