  education is the realization of the best in man

According to Gandhi, education is the realization of the best in man - body, soul and spirit. He maintained that education must be based on ethics and morality.

Gandhi's basic education is a breakthrough in the prevalent and traditional system of education. He holds the view that a child's education should begin with the teaching of a useful craft to enable him to produce something right from the beginning of his study and training.
