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.
