So much knowledge and art was imparted to you at the age of 18. So that when you come out of Gurukul at the age of 18, you are dependent on yourself and not on the government and big industrialists.
Let us now talk about the current modern education system.
Our modern education system started after the arrival of the British. When the British came to India for the first time in 1608. Before the British, our country was being ruled by the Mughals but they did not cause as much damage to our Gurukul as the British did.
Our modern education system is such that it seems as if you have to study things that will not be even 50% useful in life.
How does our education system work??
First of all we take admission in any school from class 1 to 5 like Pvt.. Or Government School .
After this we take admission for 6th-8th. And then after completing this study, we again take admission for 9th-10th in any private or government college and give the 10th board exam. This is about 10th studies.
We spent our 10 years in learning just two languages and studying the fundamentals of Science and Social Science And in memorizing some stupid math formulas that have nothing to do with our lives.
After passing 10th, we are given three streams for further studies (arts, commerce and science)
In our Gurukul education system, students have already made their career by the age of 18, but in this system it is decided only after 18 years what we should do.
After 10th, all the students are divided into three categories, some take arts, some take commerce and those who want to study something different take science.
Here also you will be taught the same things which you could never use to improve your life. Science students are mostly taught Maths, Physics, Chemistry and two languages Hindi and English.
Every child dreams of improving his life and society through his education but here everything will be taught which will have only one meaning i.e. how to get a government job. So that I can live in peace.
And there are only one people who are doing all this wrong and that is those who have already studied through this system, they have not done anything in their life with this education and they are busy making us like them by teaching us the same.
Let me take a simple example: if you want to become a lawyer in India, then first of all you have to complete your studies from 1st to 12th, then after that you have to give the entrance exam of a good law college where you will do your graduation, After that you will have to pass the AIBE exam and get Bar Counseling registration done, then after this you will have to practice under a senior lawyer. By doing all this, your age will be around 30+.
That means if you want to become a simple lawyer then it will take 30 years before you can live a settled life. Such is our modern education system
But it did not happen like this, in our Gurukul, the basics of all these educations were completed by the time you turned 18.
The youth of our country are illiterate even though they are educated. They have no knowledge of politics or their rights, that is why in our country a criminal can become a politician but not a civilized citizen.
There is so much unemployment in our country because we have not been taught from childhood that which could be useful in eliminating our unemployment.
The youth of today are addicted to drugs and are engrossed in gaming. They have neither any skills nor any art by which they can create their own personality in this world.
And our ideals have also become like that, today we do not know our freedom fighters as much as we know today's young actor
