According to Jiddu Krishnamurti¨s leaarning and education, to be able to live properly, we must get to know the essence of oneself. We need to free our mind of the past and previoust knowledges in order to find the truth and freedom. Only free man is capable to live fullfiled life. During the process of cognition about ourselves, we need to aspire to finding the truth, there is no path that someone could show us or lead us, the path is within ourselves. Modern schools offer education which is enough for a man who wants security, but it only prepares him for certain segments of life, not for wholeness. Krishnamurti is against this kind of education because he believes that it restricts people in acomplishing all their potential and possibilities. individual is more than just a segment or a single unit, individual is a wholeness. Many alternative schools, such as Montessori and Waldorf, share the same oppinion with Krishnamurti regarding education, the point is on the way the student learns and his role in the process of learning. They make a statement on intelectual development, self realization and creating young, mature and capable individuals ready for all the challenges that life brings.
