Education plays a dominant role as an effective instrument for large scale achievement and revolution in all spheres. Purposeful education enables the individual to understand and study the real life situation and to develop an opportunity for creating confidence in the minds of younger generation, and provide a strong base for rational and value-oriented and nation building progress. 'Humanities' courses in higher education play a significant role in this context. Therefore, a close introspection of the trend of humanities courses in higher education is essential; not only for making them attractive, but also in shaping them to be socially relevant, obviously, the courses in humanities are considered non-utility-oriented subjects, whereas they involve heavy cost to the exchequer.

The author gives us a vision of educational reform that transcends standards, curriculum, and instructional strategies.

The author tells exactly how this can be done, from the blackboard to the blacktop to the school boardroom.
