| Summary: | This inspiring and invigorating book provides insights into
education, especially curriculum development and
assessment. The narrative in the book is that of the
author, Swaroop Sampat Rawal, an Indian educator and
leader on children’s education. It provides a scholarly
discourse on education and associated theories from
Eastern and Western traditions plus a golden opportunity
to better understand various traditions in India of
spirituality and improving educational practice and
professionalism through those lenses.
The book is a welcoming and refreshing introduction to
the complex ideas and thoughts on spirituality in India and
other countries that embrace Indian traditions. The
author clearly enunciates her thoughts about how her
bagless school concept has morphed into curriculum and
programmes of work. The book has four parts. Part 1
introduces the ‘bagless’ school concept from the
dynamics of pre-vocational education in India’s National
Education Policy (NEP), 2020; Part 2 discusses designing a
pre-vocational approach of a bagless school curriculum
for a holistic and learner-centered curriculum. Part 3
offers a detailed classroom illustration relating theory to
practice. Part 4 is the epilogue in which the author shares
with us her insights, reflections, and thoughts, including
re-presenting her living-educational-theory. |
