Abstract: This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and the Global Education System with reference to their philosophical foundations, pedagogical approaches, curricular orientation, and educational objectives. The Indian Knowledge System, rooted in classical texts such as the Vedas and the Upanishads, emphasizes holistic development, ethical living, and harmony between individual and society. In contrast, the Global Education System, shaped by industrialization and globalization, focuses on scientific rationality, technological advancement, and competency-based learning. Adopting a qualitative documentary research method, the study analyzes secondary sources including scholarly articles, policy documents, and classical literature. The findings reveal that while IKS prioritizes value-based and experiential learning, global education emphasizes standardization, assessment, and employability. The study concludes that an integrative framework combining the strengths of both systems may enhance educational sustainability and holistic development in the 21st century.
Keywords: Indian Knowledge System, Global Education, Holistic Development, Experiential Learning.
