<br/><br/> There is a resurgence of interest in education throughout the world. The Universal Declaration on Human Rights, adopted at the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, proclaims in Article 26: “Everyone has the right to education.” The International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century, chaired by Jacques Delors, in its report, Learning: The Treasure Within, submitted to the UNESCO in 1996 also emphasizes the fact that education must result in the overall development of the human personality: “a deeper and more harmonious form of human development” (p. 11). As Swami Vivekananda said, “Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have lifebuilding, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.” And, as Newman observes, a university “is a place of teaching universal knowledge” (Newman, 1852,p. ix). – Reproduced
