"Education as Service" by J. Krishnamurti is a profound exploration of how education can shape individuals and society, arguing for a system rooted in love and understanding rather than rigid structure. Krishnamurti envisions education as a force for personal and communal transformation, advocating for schools to prioritize the emotional and spiritual well-being of students and educators alike. The book emphasizes the importance of fostering a sense of service and responsibility, suggesting that teachers should embody qualities such as love and compassion to create environments where students learn with joy and develop into caring, dedicated individuals. The author challenges traditional educational norms and proposes a new vision, where education becomes a source of shared growth and contributes to a more empathetic and responsible world.
