                                     . . . ข้าพเจ้ารอคอยทั้งตัวบุคคลและเครื่องมือเพื่อใช้ในโรงเรียนของเรา   

               ทำให้การทำงานมีชีวิตชีวาจริงๆ มีพลังประดิดประดอยและเนรมิตรสร้างสรรค์  
               ซึ่งสิ่งเหล่านี้จะช่วยสร้างบุคลิก  
               และจากการที่เด็กเคลื่อนไหวอยู่เสมอนี้จะกวาดเอาสิ่งสกปรก

                                ก็หาได้สอดคล้องกับชีวิตความเป็นอยู่ของผู้คนในประเทศ 
                                ดังนั้นจึงเกิดความขัดแย้งและสับสน 
                                ผู้ที่ได้รับการศึกษาส่วนใหญ่นิยมยกย่องวิถีชีวิตและวัฒนธรรมตะวันตก 
                                ในขณะที่คนอีกกลุ่มหนึ่งพยายามต่อต้านวัฒนธรรมดังกล่าว
                                 และหันไปยึดถือคุณค่าดั้งเดิมของอินเดียอย่างเคร่งครัด

    ความเชื่อของท่านรพินทรนาถมีอยู่ว่า
                           มหาวิทยาลัยไม่อาจผลิตออกมาในลักษณะเดียวกับสินค้าจากโรงงานอุตสาหกรรม
                           สถาบันการศึกษาก็เหมือนกับแขนขาของสังคม
                           ซึ่งเติบโตขึ้นมาพร้อมๆกับอวัยวะส่วนอื่นของสังคมนั่นเอง


                                                                   ขณะนั้นรัฐบาลอังกฤษที่ปกครองอินเดียอยู่
                                                ได้เสนอระบบการศึกษาแบบตะวันตกในรูปของโรงเรียนและมหาวิทยาลัยในอินเดียแล้ว
                                                แนวคิดเกี่ยวกับการศึกษาของรพินทรนาถจึงเป็นแนวคิดที่ใหม่มากในอินเดียสมัยนั้น
