Abstract :

Background: Quality improvement and development are crucial for the growth of teachers and students. Despite advancements in technology and resources, human life is becoming increasingly unhappy, with a lack of meaningfulness and a focus on money and luxury. The quality of life is declining, and while the number of educated people is increasing, there is a lack of understanding of the application of human values in modern education. Integrating education with human values is necessary to uncover the divine potential of a quality life. Ancient Indian teachings have the potential to bridge gaps in the modern educational system, and incorporating human values and yogic lifestyles is essential for a brighter future for upcoming generations. Materials and Methods: The method used is the evaluation of the practices and teachings mentioned in various ancient and recent texts. Results: Indian traditional wisdom places a strong emphasis on moral principles and human values that still hold true today. They provide special attention to the higher goals of life, such "moksha," and impart a variety of life skills to teachers as well as students. Students learn about lifestyle management, study management, relationship management, communication skills, character building, personality grooming, and self-excellence. To be a quality teacher, one must possess creative excellence, leadership, team building, and spiritual excellence. These principles support people's development on all levels of their lives, not only in the workplace. Conclusion: The Ancient Indian teachings are a wonderful source of motivation for strengthening the quality of both teachers and students. These teachings may help both students and teachers in their holistic development.
