Why should we adapt Ancient teaching in Indian education system?
Our ancient system focused on moral, physical, spiritual aspects of life.
The education system of ancient times was regarded as a source for knowledge, traditions and practices that guided and encourage humanity.
One of the most important aspect of learning is concentrating and focusing on learning without distraction, which is highly practiced and trained among the disciples before learning subjects during ancient times.
But fast forward today we are teaching younger generation using online classes and kids are more exposed to technology which acts as huge distraction. Notification pops up which drags kids to deviate from learning lessons to their favorite gaming apps.
We ask our kids to concentrate but we failed to tea h them how to concentrate? And the bitter truth is we ourselfs lost to concentrate on one task at a time and how can we teach our younger generation?
In ancient times students need to spend good amount of time doing meditation or yoga practices known as yoga sasthra. This helps them focus and concentrate more for their upcoming lessons in a day. They conducted more debates in form of review classes as students can recollect subjects as well as encourage them stage presentation.
Hence we as a community can discuss such hidden ancient techniques and how we can add them to our day to day life and teach them to our kids.
It's our duty to bring up our ancient techniques and teaching to light and help our younger generation to be more sharp and capable of facing changing world.
