I think both have advantages and disadvantages.
The gurukal system imbibes students with a sense of responsibility and respect, as compared to modern education which emphisises rights rather than responsibilities, and the self over the collective.
Students were also taught to be equals, there was no discrimination or privaleges based on background - everyone was treated the same.
The Gurukal system also gave a well rounded education - physical, spiritual, and maerial education was given. They were taught how to live rather than how to make a living.
