explain how in detail the indigenous system of education that prevailed in India??
Answers
Explanation:
- Indigenous education specifically focuses on teaching Indigenous knowledge, models, methods, and content within formal or non-formal educational systems.
Answer:
The modern system of education came to be established in India during the British period at the cost of the traditional indigenous system. The officers of the East India Company as well as many non-officials believed that the indigenous system of education had little worth or value that it was rather dead and obsolete without any practical significance.
They allowed or helped it to die and replaced it by the modern system of educational institutions. It is necessary to justify their belief and consider the character and extent of the indigenous system of education as it prevailed at the beginning of the 19th century in India, “its merits and demerits and its potentialities to develop into a national system of education by suitable improvement and extension”.
