Abstract:

Rabindranath Tagore played a pioneering role in expanding modern education and social mobilisation on the 19th and early 20th century Indian society. His philosophy of education has been praised and accepted by all for better education. After 73 years of his death, till today we need to implement his ideas of education for quality education. Bangladesh has taken most of his ideas of education in education system, but still has not achieved quality education. The present study attempted to portray the contribution of Bengal Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore to the field of Education Reform Movement during the 19th and early 20th century Bengal and to assess the role of his philosophy of education in the present context of education system of Bangladesh.
