Nationalist Educational Thought-Continuity and Change

Continuity and Change Sureshchandra Shukla The class and ideological elements in nationalist educational thought and their impact on post-independence educational policies have so far not been adequately noticed. Nor the divergent educational perspectives within or the impact of oppositional movements or the pedagogical positions involved. This paper seeks to initiate such an enquiry. The myopias of post-independence educational leadership are noted and a less eulogistic view of nationalist educational positions is advanced.
