difference between village school education and city school education
Answers
Answer :
The differences between village school education and city school education, according to the short story 'The portrait Of A Lady' by Khushwant Singh, are as follows :
1. The village school taught religious scriptures while there was no focus on religious teaching in the city school. The author's grandmother strongly disapproved of this lack of religious education in the English school.
2. Music lessons were imparted in the city school while no music education was imparted in the village school. The author's grandmother strongly disapproved of these lessons as she firmly believed that learning music suited only the lower strata of the society like harlots and beggars.
3. The city school taught English and western Science while the village school focused on the alphabet and the morning prayer. The narrator's grandmother could not assist him with the language learning and scientific concepts taught in the city school.
