Which philosophy gives importance on exaltation of personality as an aim of education?
Kaushik Kumar Panigrahi In my point of view the two mist important references in this question:
Platon: the actual gain of personality through the realization of the good. Personality as a fundamental inner Orientation on the Idea of the good.
Friedrich Nietzsche: personality as the result of an inner and outer liberation to a free willed setting and creation of values. True Personality as an artistic form of existence in every aspect of human life.

The oldest system of Philosophy known Toman is said to be idealism whose origin goes back to ancient India in the east and to Plato in the west.Idealism as a school of philosophy believes in mind and idolizes it. This philosophy seeks to explain and interpret man and universe in terms of spirit or mind.
It gives its priority to spirit, which is real and as such the entire universe is the extension of the mind or spirit. Idealism shifts its emphasis from the scientific facts of life to the spiritual aspects of human experiences and activities.
It asserts that material world is not the manifestation of reality. It, therefore, attaches supreme importance to the study of man and his mind. Besides, this school of philosophy places emphasis on the ideas and ideals than the full fact of matter which guides the actions of men in the every aspect.
Chief exponents of this school of philosophy are Plato, Descartes, Berkeley, Kant, Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Schophenhawer, Spinoza, Gentile, Froebal, Swami Dayanand Saraswati, and R.N. Tagore.
Idealism believes that the goal of human life is the exaltation of man's personality. Education has to achieve this aim. The school curriculum, accordingly, consists of those subjects which conductive to this goal. The curriculum must reflect the capitalized knowledge and experience of the race.
