Dr Ranganathan discusses the theories of education and the philosophical orientation of important thinkers. She studies the physical, emotional, social cognitive and moral development of children, as also their needs and interests. She also deals with the situation of exceptional children. The author has taken care to ensure the book is sensitive to issues of gender, class and caste. Each chapter ends with a summary of the main ideas dealt with therein.
