VIEWPOINT OF NEP 2020 & EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE ON THE TEACHING - LEARNING SYSTEM OF SOCIETY

Abstract

Education, in its most profound sense, is not the passive absorption of information but

the unfolding of human potential. Rabindranath Tagore redefined learning as a

liberating and organic experience, challenging the rigid structures of conventional

schooling. He envisioned an education that transcended textbooks and classrooms, one

that flourished in the embrace of nature, creativity, and self-expression. At Santiniketan,

his experimental institution, students learned not through rote memorization but through

exploration, dialogue, and artistic engagement, fostering a harmonious blend of intellect

and intuition.
