SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION
In ancient India a child followed the occupation of his father, either religious or professional .Over a period of time two systems of education developed, the Vedic and the Buddhist. As the name indicates in the former system Vedas, Vedangas, Upanishads and other allied subjects were taught while in the latter system, thoughts of all the major school of Buddhism was taught. While Sanskrit was the medium of instruction in the Vedic system of education, Pali was the medium of instruction in the Buddhist system of education.But both system offered vocational education apart from religious education of their respective faiths.There was also a purely vocational system of education wherein master craftsmen and artisans taught their skills to students who worked as apprentice under them.

• In a gurukul, students would reside together as equals, irrespective of their social standing, learnt from the guru and distribute work in themselves to help the guru in his day-to-day life.• They were taught impeccable manners and values that life is based
on.• The children were taught to live with meagre material things and no
fancy, pretentious objects.

The gurukul was a comprehensive learning center. Education was free, but students from well-to-do families
paid "Gurudakshina," a voluntary contribution after the completion of their studies. The gurudakshina is a traditional gesture of acknowledgment, respect and thankfulness.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN IN ANCIENT INDIA
Throughout the history of the country women have been described as highly educated.
A high standard of learning and culture was reached by Indian women during the Vedic age.
Perhaps education as such was not denied to women. During the Upanishad period we find scholarly women like Maitreyi
and Gargi taking part in public debates and discussions with philosophers and sages.
There is convincing evidence to show that women were regarded as perfectly
eligible for the privilege of studying the Vedic literature and performing the
sacrifices .They enjoyed it till about 200 B.C.

THE DECLINE•With the invasion of Muslim conquerors nearly all the centers of higher learning of the Hindus and Buddhists were destroyed. Nalanda was burnt to the ground in 1197 A.D.•While the Buddhist system of education was extinguished, the Vedic system of education found patronage in the southern peninsula in places like Hampi, Sringeri and Kanchi.
