Explanation:

For Gandhiji, literacy was neither the beginning nor the end of education.For him, education was of the mind and soul. It ought not be restricted to knowing how to read and write, and receiving a degree.He further says, “I would therefore begin the child’s education by teaching it a useful handicraft and enabling it to produce from the moment it begins its training … I hold that the highest development of the mind and the soul is possible under such a system of education.”“Only every handicraft has to be taught not merely mechanically as is done today butscientifically, i.e. the child should know the why and the wherefore of every process”.
