Poverty is one the cause..
The curriculum during Vedic period, was dominated by the study of the Vedas and Vedic literature, spiritual and moral lessons. The other subjects of teachings were philosophy, grammar, language, literature, astrology and logic.
Physical education was also included in the curriculum. Students had to learn riding, archery, wrestling, hunting, jumping, dancing etc. Some professional and technical subjects like Ayurveda or Ciktsavidya (medicine and surgery), astronomy, mathematics, Arthashastra etc. were given due importance in the curriculum.
Lastly we may conclude that the Vedic education being mostly spiritual, liberal and contemplative in nature, was meant for all who were really interested, capable and dedicated and were in search of the highest truth and supreme knowledge.
Education was free of cost and the students led an exemplary life in Vedic system of education. The teacher-taught relationship was very cordial and just like the father-son relationship during Vedic period. Education was not based on caste, creed, colour or religion.
