Training in Skillful Living: Democracy can be said to succeed only if it translates
the democratic ideals to its society. And, for this, socialisation of the individual through
education is essential. The educational system should be designed to inculcate some
democratic values, such as scientific temperament of mind, a spirit of large-hearted
tolerance, of mutual ‘give and take’, respect for the culture of other nations, etc. It is
also desirable to develop such social qualities as collective feeling, cooperation,
discipline, sympathy, brotherhood, etc., in the individual. Education must also aim to
create faith in social justice and the willingness to rebel against injustice. Education
helps people in adjusting to each other. Therefore, schools should aim at developing
these values among children.
