Before the 6th century BC, the education in India was in the hands of Brahmins, and the people who could receive education were mainly Brahmins and other high castes, so the education in this period was usually called Brahmin education. Brahman education runs through Brahmanism, with the core task of maintaining caste oppression and cultivating religious consciousness, which is obviously hierarchical and religious.

Brahmanism is an early religion in India, which originated from the Vedas in 2000 BC. It regards Brahma as the master and creator of the universe, believes in Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, advocates Vedic apocalypse, universal sacrifice, Brahman supremacy and prefers caste system. As the highest caste, Brahmins have a relatively complete education system. In Brahmin families, children begin to receive family education at the age of about 3 to 5 after the shaving ceremony.

This kind of learning begins in childhood and ends when children reach adulthood and obtain the qualification of monks. Patriarchy prevailed in ancient India, and the father was the head of the family. Fathers not only have the right to control the life and death of their children, but also have the obligation to educate and train them. Therefore, on the issue of education, the father bears the greatest responsibility. Mothers also undertake some educational responsibilities, usually to help children develop regular daily habits.

In addition, this kind of teaching is sometimes taught by Professor Saint-Il Trovatray, who is called "Dissolution", but his father must also be at home. After the 8th century BC, a Brahmin school gradually appeared in India, which is usually called "Guru School". Children can enter, but they have to pass the test of the guru. After passing the test, they will enter the home of the guru to study. In terms of educational content, children's main task is to recite the Vedas.
