About the Book
“Stress in Education: Indian Experience” makes a significant contribution to the psychological and educational literature. The book explores the tensions faced by educational systems globally, particularly in India, between global and local influences, tradition and modernity, competition and equality, and spiritual versus material concerns. It highlights how these tensions impact both students and teachers, from primary to higher education, shaping their cognitive processes, attitudes, and behaviors as they navigate the pressures of globalization and the realities of educational institutions.

This collection of research covers a range of educational settings and locales, shedding light on how individuals adapt to the challenges posed by the modern education system. It aims to provide insight into the complexities of the teaching-learning process and is expected to be valuable for planners, policy makers, researchers, practitioners, counselors, and teachers.
