Education Process
After a ceremony 'Upanayana the child had to leave home to acquire
knowledge
The academies of higher learning were known as 'Parishads
The education system involved three basic processes, namely
'Sravana', 'Manana' and 'Nidhyasana
In the 'Sravana, students received 'shrutis' (knowledge), which was
passed orally from one generation to another
'Manana means that students had to think themselves about what
they have heard. They have to make their own inferences and
assimilate the lesson taught by their teacher into the life.
The third stage 'Nidhyasana' means complete comprehension of truth
and its use in the life.

To conclude
Education in India has a long history
During ancient times India had been the educational hub
for many other countries
However the current status in the literacy achievement is
not satisfactory as large part of population is illiterate
The country is also worried about the high drop-out rates
at higher level of schooling, though education is made
compulsory
The sprawling privatization could find a solution
The question is at what cost?. Will the rural benefit from
these privatization?
Further Questions?
