Question

The idea of .................... was borrowed from Gandhiji’s Basic Education System and was included in recommendations of Kothari Commission.

The correct answer is

Work Experience

Gandhiji's Basic Education (Nai Talim, 1937) was built around productive, craft-centred work through which children would acquire knowledge and skills.

The Kothari Commission (1964-66) adapted this idea as 'Work Experience', which it defined as participation in productive work in school, at home, in a workshop, on a farm or in a factory, and recommended it as an integral part of general education at all stages.

Technical education, compulsory English and religious education were not ideas taken from Basic Education; the Commission in fact recommended the three-language formula and education in moral and spiritual values rather than religious instruction.

Hence, the idea borrowed from Gandhiji's Basic Education System is Work Experience.
