The Problem of National Education in India

The Problem of National Education in India by Lala Lajpat Rai was first published in 1920.

This book has grown in greater volume than I intended. It is still incomplete. I would have liked to have added a few more chapters, for example, on the value and method of teaching music, on the value and method of teaching social subjects, and so on. I feel, however, that these topics must be reserved for treatment in a subsequent volume. The urgency of the question demands the immediate publication of these articles in book form. The book does not claim to provide anything new for experts or for those who have made a special study of education as a science. It is meant for the lay reader. Its object is to educate the people in the problem of education in India and to help in the formation of public opinion.
