I would definitely say yes. The ancient education system focused much more on values rather than rote learning whereas the modern education system focuses much on rote learning and various disciplines of education.
Today's modern education system focuses a lot on generalised and rote learning, which are not needed in several cases. Someone who is passionate about music isn't going to do much with his high school maths.
Ancient education system had gurukula which focused on each individual's skills and abilities, enhancing them to the fullest. (Gurukula) also helped the students to learn the art of living which is a much greater need than math and science.
It was much more refined and advanced compared to today's modern education system. Aryabhatta has done a huge contribution towards mathematics and astronomy. Ayurveda was the ancient school of medicine and it's founder Charaka is considered to be the father of medicine. Nalandha University is one of the greatest learning centres in ancient India which people from all over the world looked up to. We had the best resources and methods of education.
The ancient education system helped people to lead a better life, both for themselves and the society.

That's a good point But the thing is Ancient civilization's ultimate goal was to Survive. So they needed such individuality in education system to pick the skillset for war,Harvesting,Governance and so on.
But we live in a era where we evolved to value different things in life and to explore beyond the limits. For that we need every possible stuff we can get in terms of education.
Actually we have a Good education system TBH but the problem is they way of teaching sucks. Like the famous quote say " Education is not the learning of facts,but training the mind to think ".
As a conclusion i will say " Be a Active learner ( literally the ancient education system focused much more on that ) and make you of the passive materials you can get ".
There is nothing as powerful as Active learning.

This modern education system is nothing in competition with ancient education system.
The biggest and important difference is …In modern school there are teachers and in ancient school there are gurus.
The teacher are interested only on development of students in given subject but guru is all interested in benefits of his student he try to make a good person not a parrot .
