The Third phase of the National Education Movement coincided with the Civil Disobedience Movement launched by Gandhiji in 1930. Though the physical existence of the National Education Movement practically came to an end with the termination of the non-cooperation movement, yet it continued for sometime more in the mental horizon of the people as it was related to revivalism. It continued during and after the Civil Disobedience Movement. The third round of the movement was more theoretical and abstract than practical. No concrete or creative step was taken during this phase. Still the third phase was characterised by educational schemes and plans.
During this phase Gandhiji enunciated his famous scheme of Basic education. The Third phase was characterised by consciousness in respect of technical and vocational education. This is evident in the Wood-Abbot Report of 1937. Again, during this phase the National Planning Committee chalked out a National Plan for education in 1938. It was initiated by the National Congress as it came to power in nine provinces under the new constitutional arrangement of 1935.
The Committee was presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru. The plan was, of course, not implemented due to the outbreak of the 2nd World War in 1939. But it undoubtedly influenced the later educational developments in India particularly the CABE report on “Post-war Education Development in India” popularly known as Sargent Report (1944).
The national educational movement failed to be permanent. Many of the institutions set up during this movement gradually went into oblivion. Only a few existed by the test of time. Of these the names of Jamia Millia Islamia, the Kangra Gurukul, the National Medical College, the Jadavpur Polytechnic, the Viswa-Bharati, Banaras Hindu University, Gujrat Vidyapith deserve special mention. These are now leading institutions of the country. Thus the movement left its legacy behind it.
