Integrality of the New Education Policy | Rashtram School of Public Leadership

Exploring the foundational principles of integral education set forth by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, the video sheds light on an educational paradigm that goes beyond conventional learning. Emphasizing self-discovery, alignment with national identity, and addressing global evolutionary crises, integral education seeks to nurture the complete development of individuals.

Integral education, as outlined by Sri Aurobindo, involves training at the sensory level for instrumental perfection and the growth of creative energy. Emotional education focuses on developing emotional depth, while mind training includes analysis, synthesis, intuition, and harnessing formative and organizing power

Linking these principles to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the video highlights how the policy aligns with Sri Aurobindo’s ideas. The video extends its focus to the role of teachers in this transformative process. It emphasizes the right of teachers to innovate, create enriching learning environments, and integrate information, intuition, and inspiration. Addressing the concerns of implementation, it calls for collaboration among like-minded individuals, support for teachers, and a focus on key skills and values.

The video provides a comprehensive overview of integral education, its alignment with the NEP 2020, and the crucial role of empowered teachers in steering the transformation of India’s educational landscape.
