Abstract

The National Emergency has drawn together in an overwhelming and resolute sense of unity the urges of all sections of the people to contribute their best effort in building up the defensive strength of the Motherland. The invasion of our land by the Chinese forces is not only a threat to national security but also a continuing challenge to the values we as a free nation cherish. To meet the challenge effectively involves preparation now as much as preparation for a long and sustained effort. In this, education has a decisive role; the preparation of trained intelligence and skill, disciplined behaviour and initiative.
