What is best for the child psychologically and


Based on the following statement, Interpret and Argue in Your Own Words:

When vernacular education has been questioned, it has been on grounds of feasibility rather than preference. In his review of the UNESCO Monograph, Bull (1955) points to the staggering problems of implementation (very many minor languages, extensive number of languages not written, severe lack of adequate teaching materials, limited availability of trained teachers, etc.), and concludes that there is no possibility of a significant increase in vernacular education in the present century. Further, he added that:

"What is best for the child psychologically and pedagogically may not be what is best for the adult socially, economically, or politically, and, what is even more significant, what is best for both the child and the adult may not be best or even possible for the society which, through its collective efforts, provides the individual with the advantages he cannot personally attain. It would seem, appropriate, as a consequence, to contemplate the fact that while getting educated is a personal matter, in contrast, providing a modern education is a social enterprise." (Bull, 1955: 290)
