This section deals with Rabindranath Tagore’s educational philosophy and pedagogical practices to demonstrate their relevance for contemporary times. Tagore’s educational philosophy emphasised holistic development and community engagement, reflecting a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He built his own school and university at Shantiniketan (meaning “abode of peace”) in the early twentieth century during British colonial India to reform education based on his educational philosophy. He established an alternative decolonial system for holistic education and local community development against the mainstream colonial “factory model” of schools, which only focused on the cognitive aspect of education and standardised assessment.
