main function of the teacher is to provide the optimum conditions
for that development.”

HINDUISM
“Education is an important means to achieve the four aims of
human life, namely dharma (virtue), artha (wealth), kama
(pleasure) and moksha (liberation).
Vidya or education is the means by which an individual can gain
right knowledge, control his desires and learn to perform his
obligatory duties with a sense of detachment and devotion to
God, so that he can overcome the impurities of egoism, attachment
and delusion and achieve liberation.”

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Hinduism
https://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism/h_education.asp
BUDDHISM
“The Buddha was perhaps the original post-modernist who
provides a model for education in which the heart and mind are
rightly inextricably joined. It is the basis for a truly holistic
philosophy of education.”
“Buddhism is quite clear that for all human beings there is the
possibility of self-transformation through mental development
and that resonates clearly and profoundly with what educationists
believe about the power and significance of the learning process.”
https://www.clear-vision.org/Schools/Teachers/teacher-info/education-learning-
article.aspx
CONFUCIANISM
“Confucius attempted to produce chun tzu, which is quite similar to
the English word, "gentleman." Originally both Chinese and English
words meant one born into a high social station, but both came to
mean one with a proper and suitable behavior and cultivation,
regardless of birth. His main goal was the cultivation of
character, through observation, study and reflective thought. “

www.newfoundations.com/GALLERY/Confucius.html
CONFUCIANISM
“Confucius said "Study without thought is labor lost; thought without
study is dangerous." When referring to his own way of learning, he
said -To hear much, select what is good, and follow it;" Thus he saw
learning as a process of observation of some type of subject
matter whether it be books, objects, or people, followed by
reflection, that somehow changed one. He saw learning as a
highly personal and therefore, highly individual activity.
