This paper explores Dr. Zakir Husain’s educational philosophy, emphasizing his belief in teacher training as the foundation of a progressive and socially relevant education system. Drawing upon both Eastern and Western pedagogical traditions, Husain argued for the integration of theory and practice, cultural values, and experiential learning in shaping effective teachers. His vision of education extended beyond academic instruction to include moral, cultural, and social development, advocating for a task-oriented and value-based system responsive to national needs. By situating teachers as both learners and guides, Husain underscored their central role in fostering democratic values, social justice, and holistic human growth. The study highlights his enduring contribution to Indian educational thought, where the teacher is envisioned as philosopher, mentor, and agent of social transformation.
