Description
Summary:The teaching and learning principles followed in the Ancient Indian Education System were largely based on the student centric teaching and learning principles as advocated in the modern system of education. The overall development of the student including the inner and outer self was largely practiced in our ancient education system. Also, the principles and practices discussed in Andragogy bears striking similitude with the practices followed in the ancient system. The relevance of understanding these traditional Indian teaching and learning principles increases with the introduction of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by Ministry of Human Resource and Development, Government of India as it highlights that all these principles are required to be adopted by the Higher Educational Institutions. This article aims to discuss some of the teaching and learning principles of the Ancient Indian Education system and their relevance in contemporary times along its coherence with NEP.
