Abstract
There are two types of education and I have tried to delineate and decipher the meaning of the two. Historical perspective and changing circumstances have also been given which indicate that in the beginning the emphasize was on liberal type of education. But with the passage of time and development, utilitarian education was introduced in universities and it became of paramount importance. The comments of luminaries on two types of education have also been excerpted which provide various shades of opinion. Since the tremendous development of Science and Technology, the liberal education has been put on back-burner and the top-priority has been given to utilitarian education, but to put the matter in a right perception, a case has been made to the effect that liberal education has its validity in today’s world. As the liberal education has a civilizing effect and the culture, spirituality and intellectual prowess are embedded to it, therefore it cannot be ignored.
