A Comparative Study on Traditional Gurukul System vs. Modern School Education.

Author(s) Rousanara Khatun
Country India
Abstract Education has always played a crucial role in shaping human civilization and cultural development. In India, the traditional Gurukul system represented one of the earliest and most influential educational models, emphasizing holistic development, moral values, and close teacher–student relationships. In contrast, modern school education, influenced by colonial policies and global modernization, focuses more on structured curricula, institutional learning environments, and technological integration. This research paper aims to compare the traditional Gurukul system with the modern school education system from a historical perspective. The study examines their philosophical foundations, curriculum, pedagogical approaches, teacher–student relationships, evaluation methods, accessibility, and social impact. The paper also explores how the transformation from the Gurukul system to modern schooling occurred during the colonial period, particularly after the introduction of Western educational policies in India. Through historical analysis and comparative evaluation, the study highlights the strengths and limitations of both systems and suggests the possibility of integrating traditional values with modern educational practices to develop a more balanced educational framework. The findings suggest that while modern education has enhanced accessibility and scientific learning, the Gurukul system provided deeper moral and character development. A synthesis of both models could contribute to a more holistic educational approach in contemporary India.
Keywords : Gurukul system, modern education, Indian education history, teacher–student relationship, holistic education.
