Company, it has come to be known as Wood’s Despatch. Outlining the educational policy that
was to be followed in India, it emphasized once again the practical benefits of a system of
European learning, as opposed to Oriental knowledge.

British goods, for Indians would begin to appreciate and buy things that were produced in
Europe.
* European learning would improve the moral character of Indians. It would make them
truthful and honest, and thus supply the Company with civil servants who could be
trusted and depended upon.
* Education departments of the government were set up to extend control over all matters
regarding education. Steps were taken to establish a system of university education. In
1857, while the sepoys rose in revolt in Meerut and Delhi, universities were being
established in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay
