Abstract
Education is a potent tool for personal and societal growth. It is difficult to discern the method and type of education in ancient Bengal; yet, there is enough evidence of the thriving circumstances of knowledge nourishment in ancient Bengal. The development of a distinct style of education system in Bengal was especially notable during the early mediaeval period. This research focuses on the history of education in Bengal during the early mediaeval period. Despite the fact that a number of researchers observed its presence in Indian history, the era early mediaeval is very contentious in terms of its many historical elements. Many changes occurred during this time, including social, political, economic, religious, and cultural ones. As a result, political decentralization, the rise of landed intermediaries, self-sufficient village economies, peasant subjugation, caste proliferation, the emergence of regional kingdoms, and the development of regional languages, literature, and culture were key elements of this time
