    Early Hindu education was primarily religious and focused on transmitting religious texts and traditions. It was organized into different types including religious, intellectual, vocational, and domestic education. Students would learn literature, history, science, and skills. Education was available to all castes but the content varied. It was taught through imitation, memorization, and question/answer. Schools were located in homes, monasteries, and outdoors. Teachers were supported through gifts instead of salaries. A major contribution of early Hindu education was developing the decimal numeral system including the concept of zero.

    Education is a process that changes constantly, that is
    why it is significant to study its history. You can comprehend the
    history of education and how it progressed to the present by
    studying the past. In this way, the future is illuminated while
    also making the present more understandable.
    Early Egyptian education was dominated by priests. On
    the other hand, Early Hindu education has religion as their main
    foundation for learning. Although their schooling wasn’t that
    formal compared to the present, they are systematically
    organized and disciplined.
    Studying their education made me realized that they are
    very different but at the same time similar to the present
    education. They were more on imparting ethics, discipline and
    skills with their students. Because of that, they made great
    contributions to the world of education and those contributions
    are still being use and adapted today.
