Aurobindo Ghosh was a multifaceted genius – a great philosopher, a freedom – fighter, an eminent educationist and a true Yogi. He started his journey as a political thinker and became a spiritual integralist. He showed us the path to the highest spiritual growth. His educational philosophy was based on his philosophy of life i.e., on brahmacharya, practice of Yoga and spiritual penance. He believed in integral education, based on his philosophy of education, leading man to the fullest extent through harmonious development of his self – physical, vital, mental, psychic and spiritual. He translated his ideals into a system of education through his Pondicherry Ashram School, now named as Auroville.

Este estudo pretende explorar duas questões que se levantam a partir da análise da relação escola-sociedade-cultura. Essas questões se referem ao pa-pel da filosofia da educação e à intervenção do Estado na educação, via le-gislação do ensino. Assim, é desenvolvida uma breve reflexão sobre a filosofia da educação, considerada uma íntima relação entre educação e axiologia, e são analisadas as exposições de motivos e os relatórios de grupos de trabalho, elaborados para a apresentação e justificativa dos documentos das reformas de ensino de 1931,1942, 1964, 1968 e 1971, buscando-se elementos que favo-reçam a identificação de valores subjacentes, possíveis reveladores de uma efetiva intenção política de ruptura do sistema de ensino com os objetivos e valores da filosofia educacional.

Philosophy of education sets out a guideline to an educational system and/or institution. By the philosophy of education, a direction of the educational system and institution is identified. And the philosophy of education itself brings in a basis to define principles of realization as well as to keep all institutional activities in alignment with the philosophy of education. Thus, the philosphy of education is so important and indispensable to an educational system and institution. Moreover, it is the reciprocal relationship between the educational philosphy and its principles which forms up institutional activities in line with the direction set by the educational philosophy. As one of the early tertiary institutions of Binh Duong Province, Binh Duong University provided the province in particular and the country in genral with around 40,000 bachelors, engineers and masters during its 20-year function. One of the factors to account for the school’s success lies in its educational philosphy and follow-up principles upon the basis of 4Hs (study-ask-understand-act) in the process to create responsible citizens of 4Ts (resonsibility for oneself, responsibility for family, responsibility for society, responsibility for nature) towards the open world. As one of the early tertiary institutions of Binh Duong Province, Binh Duong University provided the province in particular and the country in genral with around 40,000 bachelors, engineers and masters during its 20-year function.

Attempts of undue separation of the philosophy of education and curriculum theory and development in the teaching of systematic functional education have been seriously criticized. This has been so because it is not in the best interest in the teaching of an intelligent and national curriculum which forms the bedrock to the development of a truly vibrant educational system in Nigeria. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to investigate the relevance of the philosophy of education to the development of an intelligent curriculum which is imperative to the teaching of functional education in the technical, the sciences, the humanities and social sciences towards the revitalization of the Nigerian educational sector.
