Synopsis

In Our Educational Problem, Har Dayal argues that government schooling has undermined national self-respect while shaping political loyalty to foreign rule.

This provocative examination questions who benefits from schooling and what true political awakening looks like in a colonized society. The book frames a debate about education, power, and the path a nation should take to gain real autonomy.

  • Discover Dayal’s view of how schooling influenced leadership, policy, and national sentiment.
  • See historical examples of how elites and common people respond differently to education and governance.
  • Consider why “progress” and “reform” in education can clash with a nation’s sense of identity.
  • Reflect on what kind of education might truly empower a people to govern themselves.
Ideal for readers of political history, postcolonial thought, and debates over education and national independence.
