The Buddhist system of education focused on personal experience and understanding through introspection and meditation, while the Vedic system emphasized memorization, recitation, and rituals. Buddhist education also promoted questioning and challenging of teachings, whereas the Vedic system largely followed traditional texts and practices without much room for questioning.
Vedic education is based on ancient Indian scriptures and focuses on spiritual and moral development alongside academic learning, while modern education is more focused on skills and knowledge relevant to contemporary society and the workforce. Vedic education often involves teachings from gurus and oral traditions, while modern education relies heavily on formal schooling and technology for learning.
The Vedas, like any other scripture, are eternal inspires. They inspire us to lead higher lives. Even if we were to suppose that they may not create an urge towards a greater, nobler life, just the fact that their words have come up from the depths of man's own nature enables them to furnish a channel, a framework, in which idealism can become operative for the welfare of humanity. Hence this attempts to interpret various aspects of education based on the teachings of the Vedas.
