 What was Gandhi's concept of basic education?

 

There are some hints of what he taught: "You must ensure that all children are taught to read, write and do arithmetic before they become ten."

Many years after his death, Gandhi's vision of education is gaining momentum in India. Inspired by the Gandhian philosophy of equality of opportunity and equality of education, a large number of organizations have been working tirelessly in the education sector. The objective of these organizations is to ensure that each child is given equal opportunity to succeed at school. Some organizations are advocating for children with special needs and educating the youth about issues like AIDS. Some organizations are working with the government to give children basic education in basic schools, and the ones that operate in the private sector are working towards ensuring affordable education for children.
