Khwaja Ghulam-us Sayyidain on education

Hussain Rizvi quotes Khwaja Ghulam-us Sayyidain: "Instead of laying out beforehand plans of what the child is to be and to do and what learning and skills are to be taught to him -- that is, casting him in a preconceived mould -- the school must recognize that every child is a unique and vigorous little individual who has to be consulted, as it were, about his own future and allowed to shape his own course of development under tactful and understanding guidance."
