"We are happy to present to the world an ideal system of education, where not only will the intellect be fed and satisfied, but the basis of the intellect, the field of pure intelligence, the source and basis of life, will be fully realised by everyone.

"The result will be a life that is not baseless, but that has a profound basis in the lively field of all possibilities."

Consciousness-Based Education in schools

The highest goal of education in every country is to create ideal citizens – individuals capable of fulfilling the goals of their own lives while upholding the interests of others and the progress of society as a whole. For this to become a living reality, education must actualise the full potential of the most precious resource of the country, the human brain of every citizen.

Consciousness-Based Education enables any school to fulfill this purpose by systematically developing the brain and unfolding the latent creativity and intelligence of its pupils, so that irrespective of their educational or socio-economic background they can experience increasing success and fulfillment every day. This is accomplished through the most effective, proven technologies of consciousness: Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi programme.

Development of consciousness is key to learning

earth Traditionally, education has attended primarily to what students study – the objective aspect of knowledge – without systematically developing the subjective basis of knowledge, the consciousness of the pupil. Yet it is the quality of the pupils’ consciousness, or awareness, that determines their degree of intelligence, creativity, confidence, inner calm, and motivation – all fundamental to education. Scientific research verifies that these qualities are directly developed through Consciousness-Based Education, which enlivens holistic brain functioning through the experience of the full potential of the pupil’s own consciousness.

Consciousness-Based Education makes use of the natural, effortless Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme for developing students’ full inner potential. More than 600 scientific research studies conducted at over 200 universities and research institutes in 30 countries over the past 40 years verify the wide-ranging benefits of this technique for individual life and society. By developing the use of the total brain, Transcendental Meditation strengthens the cognitive, physiological, and affective foundations of learning, while promoting more healthy life-style choices and positive behaviour.

Developing ideal citizens

The individual is the basic unit of world peace. When we think of a peaceful world, we are considering a world filled with individuals who are at peace themselves.

As students unfold more and more of their inner potential, they cease to be frustrated and dissatisfied, and recognise expanding possibilities for their lives. Their thoughts, feelings, speech, and behaviour become more life-supporting for themselves and others; increasingly they enjoy happy, healthy, problem-free lives, spontaneously fulfilling their own interests while upholding the interests of others – the basis of ideal citizenship.

A society composed of healthy, integrated individuals natura basis of more harmonious, invincible nation and a peaceful world; thus fulfilling the goal of education.
