Ashwani Kumar is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Canada.
“This book should be on the mandatory reading list of every
teachertraining programme, every education psychology degree
course, and for all secondary-school sociology classes. … I would
recommend this book to all who are serious about the learning
process and are concerned with why most education institutions
generally are failing to bring out integrated, sane, healthy
student graduates capable of leading meaningful lives and caring
for and loving others and the Earth.” (Mark Lee, Journal of the
Krishnamurti Schools, Issue 20, January, 2016)"A challenging book
in at least three admirable ways . . . At the heart of the works of
both Krishnamurti and Macdonald, Kumar sees a way of thinking that
is different to the thinking that characterizes much of
contemporary educational discourse." - Teachers College Record
"This book explores the roles of consciousness, education and
meditative inquiry in creating a new type of learning environment
where the individual's consciousness is privileged over the
structure of institutions." - Education Review "In this
exceptionally well-written and courageous book, Kumar makes the
case for moving beyond the dominant yet simplistic view of
curriculum as information transmission . . . It is hard to imagine
a more lucid treatment." - Choice
