Speech on ‘Education System’ in India!
The modern education system that we find in India today came with Britishers. They were accompanied by Christian missionaries who established schools to impart secular education to the Indian children but also to convert them to Christianity.
If we look into the early history of Indian (Hindu) society, we find that in ancient India education was modelled on the gurukula system in which emphasis was placed on the direct relationship between the guru (teacher) and the sisya (pupil).
This system of education laid emphasis on austere life and concentrated on the teaching of Vedic literature. It was mainly devoted to the teaching of theology, philosophy and philology. Education was all comprehensive spreading from philosophy and spirituality to the teaching of cannons of art of day-to-day life.
Education was used to be given on the varna basis. The Sudras and women both were excluded from the right to education. Vocational trainings, if any, were used to be given by old members of the family and community.
In the medieval (Muslim) period, it was the ‘madarsa’ system which ruled the educational scene. The schools (madarsas and pathsalas) were conducted almost exclusively by maulvis for Muslim students and by Brahmin priests for Hindu students.
There was really no change in the outlook of people towards education in this period also because the Muslims, like the Hindus, were traditional in their outlook and laid great emphasis on religions and philosophical education rather than secular education.
Of course, one should not forget that secular education received an impetus even in Western Europe only after the 17th century, and more recently since the 19th century when the idea of scientific knowledge emerged.
In this period, religious leaders and priests were often the only available literate groups, using their knowledge to read and interpret sacred texts. For the vast majority of people, growing up meant learning by imitation the same social habits and work skills as their elders.
As we know, children normally began assisting in domestic farm and craft activities at a very young age. Transmission of skill of the trade used to be handed down from generation to generation. Reading was not necessary or even useful in their lives.
Education, in whatsoever form available, was limited to higher castes only. The untouchables were debarred and discouraged to receive education. There was no much specialization of professional roles as we find today.
The modern education system that we find in India today came with Britishers. They were accompanied by Christian missionaries who established schools to impart secular education to the Indian children but also to convert them to Christianity.
Britishers had planned three stages of education in India:
(1) Primary
(2) secondary, and
(3) higher education.
The main aims in the starting of the schools for children as well as the institutions for higher learning in the 18th century were to propagate Christianity, to have competent scholars in the Muslim and Hindu law and to train the British civilians in Indian languages, law and history.
The system of education that was established by Britishers had an objective to suit their own needs and further their interest of peaceful administration. They transformed the education into a commodity available to those who could afford to purchase it.
These objectives were viewed to serve the purpose of colonial Britishers. This view has been sharply contested by many quarters. Those who disagreed with this said that it is altogether wrong to think that colonial education’s sole goal was to produce clerks to serve the British administration as was widely believed. Its impact was much deeper. It had a penetrating effect and long-term consequences.
