Answer:
Indigenous education specifically focuses on teaching indigenous knowledge, models, methods, and content within formal or non-formal educational systems.
When Britishers came to India, at that time indigenous system of education was prevalent. There was a large number of Muslim Maktabs and Madrasahs, Hindu Pathsalas, the Tolls of Bengal, Agraharas of southern India. These institutions were mostly single teacher schools with multiple class teaching. In some cases senior students acted as monitors and helped the teacher in the teaching work. The medium of instruction in these institutions was Sanskrit, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Telugu, Tamil etc.
Provision for imparting higher education existed in Madrasahs and other centers of higher learning. The importance of these institutions in fulfilling the educational needs of the Indian masses cannot be underestimated. Due to the unsatisfactory financial condition, these institutions were declining gradually. There is no mention of a single school which was held in a house exclusively used for itself Most of them were held in temples, private dwellings or sheds or the houses of the teachers themselves.
They had hardly any continuity and sprang up or vanished according to local demand or its absence. As a rule, they were not communal in their working and were opened to all who could afford to pay for schooling. Most of the teachers were Brahmins and accepted teaching profession not for the profit in cash or kind but more by the respectability which tradition gave it. The total emolument of the teacher was between Rs. 3 to Rs. 5 per month. The teachers were men of ordinary attainments and very often they knew no more than the little they taught in their schools.
