About the Book Education is a mission for those who have a strong passion for teaching; it�s a vision for those who conceive of education in global context conducting academic exercises in a global classroom with a global curriculum wherein an individual learner appears as a learning member of one world. So vast is the canvas of the modernization of education that it can�t conceive of the educational growth of an individual learner in isolation and that too without global perspective. This book concentrates on certain issues relating to the modernization of education. Education, to tell the truth, has its phases and stages, ways and means, purposes and process to meet the growing needs of society. In the recent years, there have been obvious indications that go to suggest that there is an urgent necessity to look at education as an instrument that will prescribe a kind of education in terms of theory and practice that will reduce the differences between the developed and the developing countries, the developing and the under-developed countries so that the development of one will ensure the development of the other, the progress of one will be the cause of action for the progress of all. This is what is known as the global vision of education. There might have been in existence some conflicting ideas in this context from the days of plato and Aristotle, but the conflict, if any, has been one of principle only. Despite all these conflicts and differences, all the educational thinkers and doers of different points of time, have agreed upon ensuring and realizing global welfare through education. Besides being progressive, education can be a great leveler. It is the only instrument that can confront the challenges of quantity with quality; ensure collective growth along with individual excellence, offer solutions to problems that concern not only one but also many. This provides for a basis to the stance for modernizing education.
