Guru Nanak College of Education
Introduction
Education is an admirable thing but it is to remember from that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. It makes the people easy to lead but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.
The real aim of Education is to enable the students to be true Indians, really modern and deeply human, to mould the mind into a bubbling, living fountain and not mere reservoir, that which is filled by merely pumping in, will be emptied by pumping out.
In the real sense, Education is life and life is Education. It is needed for the progress of individual and society. But it is very lamentable to think over the plight of Indian Education today. Despite all the ornamental speeches that have been delivered about the Educational System in India,our Educational standard is still facing some aberrations and deterioration. There is a big gap between theory and practice. Such Education that has no vision is waste, Education without value is crime and Education without mission is burden.
Our mission here is to lessen this burden, to cease this crime and wastage. Our Institution aims at not to teach people what they don't know but to teach them to behave as they don't behave.
Our endeavor is to lead the souls of would-be Nation-builders to what is best and perfecting what is already present in them. We want to enable them to work with dedication and sincerity, to carve every student into human being with the educational tools to enable them to be worthy of the role as Nation-builder in the real sense because the destiny of the Nation is folded within its budding youth.
When the spirit in man inspires the intellect we have genius, when it stirs the will, we have heroism,when it flows through the heart,we have love, when it transforms our being, the son of man becomes the son of God. Put the fire of spirit on any altar, it blazes up to heaven.
Education is the foundation stone of nation's intellectual power. This power shapes the profile of a nation in the community of world nations. Human beings need education because they are destined to be a real man. No body would like to become a wild beast or an animal. Only the education distinguishes man from animal because an education cultivates an integrated life in a man, thus it is education that beautifies and models man for society.Therefore education is essentially a vital human activity and considered as most rewarding investment
