Report of the Indian Education Commission. Appointed by the Resolution of the Government of India dated 3rd February 1882

1883

2. Reasons for the Enquiry.—The instructions to the Commission were contained in the Resolution of the Governor General in Council dated the 3rd February 1882.t That document set forth the Court of Directors' Despatch of the 19th July 1854 as the basis of the educational policy of India. [...] In reviewing the progress of education we propose to consider first the early efforts of the East India Company and of private socities prior to 1854 ; secondly the principles laid down for the guidance of the Departments in the Despatches of 1854 and 1859 ; and thirdly the progress of education in each Province of India between 1854 and 1882. [...] The condition of education in India in 1881-82 in every class of colleges and schools the intenal mechanism as well as the external relations of the Departments the question of legislation and the financial administration of education will form the sujects of separate Chapters of this Report. [...] Under the early Brahman civilisation the instruction of the youth of the higher castes formed a religious duty and in the case of the Brahmans themselves the years devoted to learning were recognised as one of the four periods in the scheme of each man's life. [...] During the ten years from the renewal of the Charter in 1813 the fresh impulse given to education was really the result of private efforts which were partly due to natives as in the case of the Calcutta Hindu College and partly due to joint Associations of English and native gentlemen or to missionary bodies as in the case of the Baptist Press at Serampur.16 REPORT OF THE EDUCATION COMMISSION.
