Educating the Educator brings together J. Krishnamurti's discussions with teachers and parents in Bombay and Poona during his 1948 public talks in India.

In these meetings, Krishnamurti answers audience questions on education. The book also includes answers to two questions raised at the end of public talks in New Delhi and Benares.

His central concern is that it is “the educator who needs educating.” For Krishnamurti, teaching involves more than imparting information: it calls for self-knowledge and a commitment to fundamental change in the educator as a human being.

Timeless insights

The world of western education has changed a lot since these 1948 talks, yet although Krishnamurti's analysis of how public education works is now out of date (although some of his concerns remain very valid), his ideas of how to think about what education can mean for individuals remain important and insightful.

Thank you for this thoughtful, balanced review. You've drawn a clear distinction between the parts that show their age, Krishnamurti's critique of 1940s schooling, and the parts that hold up well, namely his deeper questions about what education means for the individual.

Review of Educating Educator

Quite profound! Wow! His statements of educating the educator first, before the child... Educator is more difficult to educate because they are set.
All profound in theory, his ideas, but in reality, difficult to achieve due to our educational institutions and large number of students per class.
