Abstract:
The development of human personality is like that of a plant from a seed. The plant
sprouts, grows, develops, and puts forth branches and bear flowers and fruits.
Similarly the individual grows from childhood to adolescence and from adulthood to
maturity and continually brings himself to self-reference. At every stage of his selfdifferentiation
he discovers his axiological connections with the complex reality of
the human situation. Physical, psychological, intellectual, aesthetic and spiritual
factors become the strands weaving the individual’s web of experience and thus
constitute the process of his education which aims at the drawing out human
potentialities to the fullest extent possible. Education is the promotion of the
comprehensive self-development of the human being into an integrated personality.
