write two features about vedic system of education

Hi,

The two features of Vedic system of education is given below.

1) The forest home of the preceptor in the midst of calm, charming, natural surrounding served as the educational institution where the pupil lived after the Upanayana or initiation ceremony. The preceptor occupied the place of the father or guardian and was discharging the duties by shouldering the responsibility of his ward’s maintenance. Much emphasis was laid on the formation of character through ‘plain living and high thinking’.

2)  The basis of admission was moral fitness and unimpeachable conduct. The pupils belonging to a lower order of moral conduct was forbidden to live in the house of the preceptor.

Hope it helps.
