ABSTRACT

Progress in education cannot be separated from the economic, social and political changes which are taking place in the world. All are intimately linked together and must progress together if man is to achieve mastery over his environment and enjoy the benefits of an advancing civilisation. During the present period of rapid scientific and technological progress, society is in grave danger of paying more attention to the means rather than the ends of education. It is therefore essential that we should re-examine and restate our aims in education in relation to the contemporary world.
