ANCIENT EDUCATION SYSTEM OF INDIA: A BETTER ONE

ANCIENT EDUCATION SYSTEM OF INDIA



The main goal of the training was to provide the students with a quality education, tuition was completely free and the teacher took care of basic needs of students, including food and clothing, no tuition fees were charged, in fact the teacher took care of everything, including food, clothing and shelter.    Show Source Texts

The ancient education system in India was focused on the holistic development of students, both internal and external, thus preparing them for life and helped understand the concept of a balanced life.    Show Source Texts

In the past, receiving education not only meant learning a specific subject or industry, but also learning all formal and informal harmonious lifestyles. In ancient India, during the Vedic and Buddhism period, there was no such well-organized educational institution as today; in ancient India, education was more like a seminar where students learned through discussion and debate.    Show Source Texts

The language of instruction was Sanskrit for the Vedic system and Pali for the Buddhist system. The ancient Indian education system of that time revolved around various ideas about nature, knowledge about flora and fauna, scientific discoveries that took place at that time, about the meaning of life and death, methods of moksha and much more. The education system in India became more relevant with the advent of the gurukul system, which required students and teachers to work together, passing on knowledge generation after generation.    Show Source Texts

Both Vedic and Buddhist education systems had different subject areas of study. The Vedic system revolved around the Vedas, Vedanga and Upanishads while the Buddhist system preached the thoughts of the main Buddhist schools.    Show Source Texts

The teaching was in the Vedic period, Sanskrit was the means of teaching, and in Buddhist education the Pali became the teacher; education has been considered very disciplined and well-organized in ancient India since the 3rd century BC when traditional and religious knowledge was the main subject of study.    Show Source Texts

The Gurukul system in ancient times in India was a Gurukul education system in which anyone who wanted to learn came to the teachers' home and asked to be trained; the knowledge that the teacher passed on was mostly oral and the students could catch it by memorizing the voice. in the Gurukul system the student was not only taught, but also forced to learn other forms of social life that are very important to life.    Show Source Texts

In ancient times the Guru Shishya relationship was considered very sacred and important for learning ; in the Gurukul system there was a higher teacher who taught his disciples regardless of caste or financial situation. A study of the education system in the Vedic period and the system of brahminical education clearly shows that at that time teachers (gurus) were educational institutions called Gurukuls.    Show Source Texts

The most common misconception about the Gurukul education system is that the education was given only by a mentor (guru) and that the student had to spend many years outside the home to complete the instruction.    Show Source Texts

During the periods of ancient and medieval education, teachers trained students so that they could survive and live in that era. Our educational system must learn from the ancient and medieval education systems in relation to the application of practical knowledge, student-teacher relationship, the lifestyle of students living in this era, the contribution of kings to education, the absence of stress on students and much more.    Show Source Texts

It's naive to think about copying and pasting old learning styles, but we can still learn and learn key lessons from India's ancient education system. Since time immemorial. India has a rich tradition of teaching and education. Like the culture and traditions of India, the education system also has a rich history of its own.    Show Source Texts

Ancient India has always boasted a rich tradition in teaching and education, which is known that people from other countries such as Europe, Middle East and Portugal came to India to receive quality education. 

TODAY'S EDUCATION SYSTEM

 There are one of the biggest disadvantages of this education that is more of a commercial nature than an institutional concept that is supposed to provide learners with a holistic learning experience. Not only academic philosophy but also ordinary subjects such as literature and science, as well as vocational training find their places in the ancient educational system.    Show Source Texts
