Western education of british rule....

1. INTRODUCTION OF WESTERN
EDUCATION

2. EDUCATION DURING ENGLISH EAST INDIA
COMPANY
The English East India Company did very little to
promote education among the masses. Only a few
educational institutions were set up by the company
to ensure a steady supply of Indians to the law
courts set up by the company in India the
knowledge of classical languages was utilised by
the Britishers to establish correspondence with the
native states.

6. AIMS OF THE BRITISHERS FOR ESTABLISHING
THE INSTITUTIONS
It is generally believed that colonial education was
aimed at producing Indian clerks who would assist
the administration. However, the introduction of
colonial education was supposed to address many
different aims and motivations and cannot attribute
to a single cause. Western education was needed
to uplift the Indians from their decadent way of life.
It also spread modern concepts like liberty, equality
and fraternity.

7. VIEWS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE BRITISHERS
ABOUT WESTERN EDUCATION
 Lord Minto the Governor General wanted education
to have a moral role, by helping to maintain law and
order and reducing crime. In England, people held
differing views about whether Indians needed
Western education. Some people believed that
Indian civilization was inferior to Western
Civilization . They believed that western education
was needed to make India a part of the modern
world. Some Indians intellectuals also held this
view. They felt that Western education was needed
to make Indians a part of country’s administration.
They believed that it would bring the Indian subjects
closer to the British rulers.
