British Education Policy in India: The Legacy Still Continues

Dr. Prasenjit Deb

Abstract :

Before the British came to India there was a network of indigenous schools in the name of Maktabs and Pathshalas. The Education Policy of the British Raj developed through three marked stages between the battle of Plassey (1757) and the middle of the nineteenth century viz. i) through the transformation of the British from merchants to rulers, ii) Consolidation of the British power in India and iii) the expansion of British power led to the foundation of an educational system in India which contributed greatly to the emergence of modern India.
