The ideal school should be a temple of learning. It should be known for its single minded devotion to learning. It should be situated in the quiet surroundings of natural beauty. The pupils should be able to find peace and derive inspiration from their surroundings. They should be free from financial worries so that they can concentrate whole heartedly upon their studies. Equality of treatment and equality of opportunity should be there for all the pupils.
Games provide students with rest and relaxation so that they can return to their studies with renewed vigor. Pupils must be encouraged to concentrate on their study. The staff should consist of teachers who are expert, dedicated and eminent in their own field. Their teaching should fire the pupils with enthusiasm in their subjects.
The school should have an extensive library where every possible reference book is available.
There must be fixed working hours for students to read in library.
The ideal school should attract pupils from just about anywhere and any background. It should open doors to the handicapped and disabled. The only qualification for entering this school should be that a pupil is a genuine seeker after knowledge. He must also be prepared to take great pains in order to satisfy his thirst for knowledge.
The ideal school must encourage its pupils to think for themselves. They must not take whatever they read or hear for granted. They must be able to form their own opinion and exchange views with others and not be narrow or intolerant in their outlook.
Eventually, the ideal school must impress its pupils that knowledge is a priceless possession to be used for its own sake and not as a means to an end. It will thus be imparting education in the real sense of the term.
