The above statement is true.
In 1901, Rabindranath Tagore founded Shantiniketan. Tagore disliked going to school as a kid. His opinions about education were affected by his time in school in Calcutta. He wanted to establish a school where children could be free and creative while also being allowed to pursue their aspirations. Tagore also believed that children should be free to learn independently without being constrained by the rigid rules of the British educational system. According to him, only a natural setting can foster the development of creative thinking.
Hence, Tagore wanted to set up a school that provided children with a conducive and accessible environment.
