Anthropology provides insight into the cultural context of education, while education helps to reinforce and transmit cultural norms and values. Together, these fields enable a better understanding of the complex relationship between education and culture, and how they intersect to influence individual and societal development.The paradigm of teaching has changed as a result of liberalisation, globalisation, modernization, and digitization in the educational system. Through the use of multimedia-based technical tools, it transforms the traditional chalk-and-talk method into a digital pedagogical or techno-pedagogical approach. While only the three R's (Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic) were prioritised in the traditional educational system, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary learning are now given importance across subject boundaries. This change contributes to the development and expansion of students' knowledge bases as well as the potential of teachers. The students become more competitive on a global scale. Every teacher needs to be globally engaged, digitally transformed, collaborative, creative, skilled with human resources, and quick to accept change in order to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. Three factors—educational technique, educational purpose, and educational focus—determine how the two educational approaches differ from one another. The present ethnographic study has been under taken among the teachers, students and parents of pupils of three private schools which are situated at Barasat, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. The prime objective of the study is to throw light on the advantages and disadvantages of modern education and traditional education methods alongwith the allied technological issues. We try to list and compare two methods of teaching and associated teaching aids. The study is based on primary data as collected through Participant Observation, Intensive Interview, Case Studies, along with analysis by some descriptive statistics. The secondary data have been collected from books, journals, internet sources etc.
