Rabindranath Tagore, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 was also a leading thinker on education. The central tenets of his thoughts on education were learning among nature, striking a balance of the arts and science in the curriculum and internalising a spirit of internationalism. Tagore was also a practical man and he put his ideas in action by setting up a school for children and an University.
His ideas on education are key to creating the consciousness that is needed for to solve the climate crisis and (if we ever get out of this mess) avoid creating a similar crisis again. AI may help in reviving Tagore’s thoughts in the 21st century.
