MAJOR CRITICISM
Oriental education was criticized for
many reasons as eastern countries
like India lived under colonial rule.
Initially, the meaning of oriental
learning is the education
that teaches the eastern lifestyle,
history, civilization, and culture of
the eastern countries.

criticized strongly eastern oriental
learning that it is not having scope
for civilization and no
reason and logic of practicality in
supporting Western education
Sumerian Education was biased
that only wealthy people can
educate themselves of Sumerian
learnings and by this the exclusivity
of educations has resulted to
inequality and slavery. Most, if not

and accurate. If this did not

upon due to the stagnation and
decline that followed the end of the
