Time changes everything - the way we act, feel, function and live. Everything around us is constantly undergoing changes. What were so popular back then have become outdated at the moment. The same took place with education. Education in the ancient times was nothing like how it is in today’s era.
Traditional form of education
Customary or conventional education is commonly known as Traditional Education. The main purpose of ancient education is to pass on to the next generation the values, skills and social practices needed for survival. The student learns the customs and traditions of the society in which he lives in traditional education.
Majority of the students receive this type of education through oral recitation in School in Rak. Practical work or written work is minimally involved. The students simply sit back and listen to the professor or someone else who recites the lesson.
The conventional method does not include written exams, but does include the not very formal oral tests. The use of science and technology is far from traditional training. Either the science education we study in detail today is not conveyed in the conventional education system.
The knowledge of customs, traditions and religions was mainly part of the conventional education system. Therefore, it is so popularly known as traditional education.
Modern form of education
Modern education differs greatly from traditional training. Modern education is the education that is taught in schools today. It teaches about the skills that science and technology, medical science etc. need today.
Modern education includes not only listening but also writing, visualizing, imagining and thinking. Schools in Ras Al Khaimah such as the RAK American Academy are adapting to recent technological advances for the betterment of students’ future.
This kind of training also contains written tests to check whether or not students learn correctly. This takes place in a very formal manner. The teaching methodology is interactive. Modern education is only one development in traditional education given to students a couple of years ago.
Many top schools in Ras Al Khaimah, the US and other parts of the world are making necessary amends in order to ensure the students are trained not just for today but for a challenging tomorrow.
Conclusion
To sum it all up, there is no comparison between the two kinds of education as both the types hold their own importance. The two types are similar to each other and different. Traditional education is the legacy of modern education.
Our culture is often linked with traditional education. And it is great or it can be said that learning about one's own culture is important. Each one of us should know our traditions, culture and the religious histories and beliefs.
Similarly, in terms of modern developments, it is equally important to keep up with the world today. The significance of modern education is therefore described. Modern education is needed to remain in contact with the world and to see what is going on in the world.
But traditional training is being neglected because of modern education, which would lead to the loss of our culture. Two should be given equal importance to traditional education and modern formation.
