Question

write notes on the Buddhist education centres.​
please tell me the answers

Answer 1

Some of the most important centres of learning in India during Buddhist period are as follows: 1. Taxila 2. Nalanda 3. Vikramshila 4. Vallabi.

The educational institutions established during Vedic period were not conducted as regularly and systematically as the Buddhist monastic institutions. Well established regular educational institutions were founded during Buddhist period. Gradually big shrines and hermitages began to function as educational institutions. For the sake of spreading education benevolent were conferred upon such shrines by Hindu kings and subjects.

With the passage of time these places assumed the status of institutions imparting primary and higher education. However, organised educational institutions originated during the Buddhist period. Students belonging to different ranks and classes and coming from different Janapadas or republics received education free of charge. The educational centres also attracted students from abroad, i.e., China, Japan, Tibet and other countries of South East Asia. Some of the educational centres like Texila and Nalanda enjoyed the status of Universities.
