Dr. Zakir Hussain : A Visionary Educationist

Abstract

Economist by training, educationist by profession, humanist by temperament, Dr. Hussain is one of the most creative and distinguished sons of India. He has been an important liberating force in education enriching its purpose as well as contents, experimenting in methods and techniques, elucidating its true relationship and responsibility not only to society but also with the precious legacy of man as a whole. He has, on the one hand, shown sensitiveness to its social and psychological foundations and, on the other, has been deeply involved in its moral and spiritual implications. His views on work and aims of education are crystal clear. His contribution to education is no less than many other educationists by any standards.
