| Summary, etc | Scientific Humanism: Repositioning Indian Education by Feroz Ahmed and Suresh Garg examines the need to reshape the Indian education system through the principles of scientific humanism. The authors argue that education should cultivate scientific temper, rational inquiry, ethical responsibility, and human values to prepare learners for the challenges of a rapidly changing society. They contend that educational institutions must move beyond rote learning toward critical thinking, creativity, and social responsibility. The book evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the existing educational framework in India and discusses reforms in curriculum design, teacher education, higher education, distance learning, governance, and educational planning. It emphasizes the role of science and technology in national development while stressing that scientific progress should be guided by humanistic values. The authors also address issues such as equity, quality, access, globalization, and the social responsibilities of educational institutions. |
