Sorry I don't know Bengali language!
Answer:
Gurukul Education:-
The Gurukula system of education is just another education system that is quite similar to the residential schools of today.
These Gurukulas were located outside the city limits, usually in a forested area. The parents and immediate kith and kin of the students were not permitted to come and meet the children often
Children were sent to the Gurukula at the age of 9 or 10 and stayed there until they were about 16 or 17. This phase of a person’s life is when their character molding basically happens. It’s not science and history that was taught to the children. There were not just sermons. There were discussions. Children were encouraged to ask questions.
Modern Education:-
The modern education system focuses on grades more than the students themselves. The schools have no interest in the character development of the students. They are only concerned with the marks the student scores, the number of trophies the students bring back to the school, etc.
There is this overwhelming need to score higher and higher marks. Everything is about marks. A student may be a spoilt brat, or may be a bully, or may be having family issues, or even psychological problems. The teacher only takes note of his/her grades.
The problem with this system is that they create replicas of the same prototype year after year. The students do not develop their ability to think creatively or ‘out of the box’. They just become human robots capable of memorizing things and reproducing it on paper just to score marks.
Explanation:
The Gurukula system is similar in some ways to the modern residential school system, especially in that the students stay within the school premises. But it is a fact well known that residential schools are quite expensive, high-class and that it’s only the really rich kids who actually study at these places.
Does it serve the same purpose as a Gurukula that is essentially free save for the teacher’s fee that the students give at the end of their studies? I think not. And as I know, the education system is quite similar to modern non-residential schools in the ‘Exams are Coming!’ part.
I would vote for a Gurukula system of education any day.
