Question

Why was wardha scheme disliked by muslims?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

With the Indian National Congress in power in most of the provinces of British India, the reconstruction of the educational system for achieving national objectives became an urgent task. It was Gandhi who took the initiative and convened an All India Educational Conference at Wardha in 1937 to which he invited some well-known educationists associated with institutions of national education as well as the ministers in charge of education in the provincial governments run by the Congress. Pleading for a complete overhaul of the existing system of education he proposed to make education available to all boys and girls of school-going age. The following resolutions were passed unanimously at the conference:

That in the opinion of the conference, free and compulsory education be provided for seven years on a nation-wide scale;

That the medium of instruction be the mother tongue;

That the conference endorses the proposal made by Mahatma Gandhi that the process of education throughout this period should centre round some form of manual and productive work, and all the abilities to be developed or training to be given should, as far as possible, be integrally related to the central handicraft chosen with due regard to the environment of the child;

That the conference expects that this system of education will be gradually able to cover the renumeration of teachers.
