Books on education

Divasvapna (An Educator's Reverie) by Gijubhai Badehka is a very good book on the philosophy of education. It is very gentle on the reader and yet manages to bring up key issues on educating children using the real life setting of a village school. This book was written originally in Gujrati and has been translated into many languages including Kannada, Hindi and Tamil (by National Book Trust). It is available in India at affordable prices of Rs 35-50. It is online here - html, pdf, microsoft word.
The Child's Language and the Teacher by Krishna Kumar carefully looks at the language aspects of kids' learning. It is online here - html, pdf, microsoft word.
