In 1882 the Government appointed a commission under the chairmanship of W.W.Hunter to review the progress of education in the country since the Despatch of 1854. The commission wanted to reorganize education in India. It mostly confined its remarks to secondary and primary education.
It visited all the provinces and passed about 200 resolutions. It emphasized the Government's special care for the extension and improvement of primary education. Primary education was to base on the instruction of the masses through the vernacular. For secondary education two divisions were expected - a literary education leading up to the Entrance Examination of the University and a practical education preparing students for commercial and vocational should be encouraged.
It drew attention to the inadequate facilities for female education outside the presidency towns and wanted its expansion.

Hunter Commission officially known as the Indian Education Commission, 1882, was the first education commission in the history of modern India. Appointed by the Government of India, it was to review in depth, the state of education in India since wood’s education despatch of 1854, and to recommend necessary measures for further progress. The other consideration, which prompted the Government to launch this enquiry, was the agitation of the missionaries, particularly in England, accusing lapses of the Government in implementing the provisions of the Despatch of 1854. Because of the great importance, which the Government attached to primary education, higher education was excluded from the Commission's purview and instead was directed to concentrate chiefly on primary education.
Presided over by Sir william wilson hunter, a Bengal Civilian, the Commission included ananda mohan bose, AW Croft (Director of Public Instruction, Bengal), bhudev mukhopadhyay, Maharaja Jatindra Mohan Tagore, Kashinath Trimbak Teelang and Sayed Ahmad Khan who later withdrew in favour of his son Sayed Mahmad.
The Commission submitted its report in October 1883 and its thirty-six recommendations regarding primary education added a certain momentum in its slow advance. The Commission stated that 'while every branch of education can justly claim the fostering care of the State, it is desirable in the present circumstances of the country to declare the elementary education of the masses, its provision, extension and improvement, to be the part of the educational system to which the strenuous efforts of the State should now be directed in a still larger measure than herebefore'. It recommended that (1) 'primary education be regarded as the instruction of the masses through the vernacular in such subjects as will best fit them for their position in life, and be not necessarily regarded as a portion of instruction leading up to the University
