The Education System in India During the Colonial Period and the Introduction of Nai-Talim by M.K.Gandhi

During the colonial period, India’s educational system created a gap between the English- educated Indians and the ignorant masses. So, on 22nd and 23rd October, 1937, Gandhi called a conference at Warda on National Education. To overcome educational conflict he proposed Nai Talim (new education) aimed at developing the whole personality through the skills of art, drawing and any handicrafts. Moreover, he considered native languages as medium of instructions.
