Answer:
The ancient India had their distinctive culture and civilization over the thousands of years. In the past the great saints have played a decisive role in shaping and molding the ancient heritage. The ancient Indian education emerged from the Vedas. The Vedas are the best expression of an enlightened culture and have contained within themselves the seeds and sources of Hindu thoughts and practices.
The Vedas have laid the foundation upon which the entire Hindu culture and civilization has been building up through the ages. Veda means knowledge. During this period education was divided into two kinds of knowledge-this worldly and other worldly.
This worldly education dealt with the social aspect, whereas, the other worldly education was related to intellectual pursuits for achieving salvation. However, the greater emphasis was laid on the latter because education was regarded as a means of free from life bondage.

1. The system of education which was prevalent was altogether different from the present system of education. Student life in Vedic education began with upanayana, when the student goes to his chosen teacher called Acharya.
The place of learning was called Gurukula. The ceremony was performed for three days. After the ceremony of upanayana the pupil emerges as a dwija or twice born. This upanayana ceremony, unfolds his mind and soul. After this ceremony, the pupil was called as a Brahmachari, a new and changed individual, both internally and externally, from which he began his student life.
Learning was almost monopolized by the Brahmins. As time passed on, the other two castes, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas, were also entitled to receive education. But the Sudras in general were denied to study the Holy Scriptures.
The home of the teacher or Guru was the centre of learning in Vedic period which was situated in natural surroundings, not artificially constituted. It was functioning in solitude and silence. The age limit for upanayan ceremony was eight years, eleven years and twelve years, respectively for Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas.
2. The High Medieval era was a time of tremendous gender discrimination. During this period, women in Europe were treated as an entirely separate group, regardless of their social status. They had numerous legal, religious, and economic challenges, as well as some unique opportunities
