But there are deeper psychological reasons for this individual treatment in Education. The investigations of Psychologists like Jung, Jaensch, Spranger, and Kretschmer point out that individuals divide themselves into a number of personality-types in accordance with the trend of their usual behaviour-patterns and the ends they seek. These also determine their social and intellectual activities and their vocations, which will vary with the types to which they correspond. This, therefore, makes individual treatment of pupils essential in education. A common scheme may economize effort and expense, but it will not make for maturation of the self which depends on the uniqueness of personal equipment and freedom of choice, factors which are ignored in such a scheme.
