98 Ans D

Explanation: The Wardha scheme of Education, popularly known as ‘Basic education’ occupies a unique place in the field of elementary education in India. This scheme was the first attempt to develop an indigenous scheme of education in British India by Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation. As a nationalist leader he fully realized that the British system of education could not serve the socio-economic need of the country.

The conference appointed a committee under the Chairmanship of Dr.Zakir Hussain to prepare a detailed education plan and syllabus.

Major recommendations of the wardha scheme of education are as follows,

Free, universal and compulsory education should be provided for all boys and girls between the ages of 7—14.

This education should be imparted in the mother-tongue of the child.

All education should center round some basic craft chosen with due regard to the capacity of children and the needs of the locality. The committee suggested spinning and weaving, card-board and wood work, leather work, kitchen-gardening, agriculture and fishery as obviously suitable crafts.

The selected craft should be both taught and practiced so that the children are able to produce articles which can be used and may be sold to meet part of the expenditure on the school.

This craft must not be taught mechanically but its social and scientific implications were to be studied side by side.

In this craft-centered education all the subjects to be taught were to be integrally related to the selected craft or the child’s physical and social environment
