A persistent thought that often dominates our minds regarding education is that the responsibility of a child's education lies solely with the teacher. But just think—why do children go to school? To study, right? And who teaches them? The teacher. So, in this sense, the responsibility for children's education seems to fall entirely on teachers. However, in the context of education, one must ask: is education limited only to schooling? The author believes that education and schooling are two different concepts. Education is a broad and comprehensive idea, while schooling is a narrower one. The Dilemma of Education boldly examines several critical and sensitive issues related to education, challenging our consciousness and awakening our thinking. It not only comments on but also raises important questions. The book deeply discusses values, religion, parents, teachers, schools, policies, and Indian society as a whole. It offers direction to the thoughts of all those who wish to deeply understand education and the issues surrounding it. This book is a meaningful read for every age group that is connected with education, children, and society.
