Book Description | Naked Emperor of Education is India's first young voice against the current factory model ofschooling. It dwells on fundamental questions like- What is our purpose of going to schools? Are our schools working well? Are they adding an inch to our happiness? When talking abouteducation, we have usually denied children the right to talk about the process they would be subjected to, for some thirteen years of their lives; the book is a fresh first-hand account of a student who has known both: the leisures of meeting the 'standards', and suffocation of a mechanic ecosystem. The book undresses charades of discipline, freedom and success. It is an optimistic appeal for remaking our education system. |
