Sir Charles Wood, the President of the Board of Control, had an important effect on spreading English learning and female education in India. When in 1854 he sent a despatch to Lord Dalhousie, the then Governor-General of India.Wood suggested that primary colleges must adopt vernacular languages, high schools must adopt Anglo verncular language and on college level English medium for education. This is known as Wood's despatch. Vocational and women's education were not stressed upon. One of the most favourable steps taken by EIC was to create English class in Indian people to be used as workforce in company's administration. the British had done best developmental activities during this phase it was the final phase where British get social reforms after this period they will not get any social reforms.

We discussed Lord Macaulay’s Minute of 1835 and educational policy of Lord William Bentinck, which was founded on educational views of Macualy. This unit deals with Wood’s Despatch of 1854. The Despatch is a very important educational document and holds a unique place in the history of Indian education. It placed the responsibility of education of the Indian people fully on the company and stated quite explicitly that it must never be neglected.

The Despatch gave new direction to education in India and in a way this direction has its clear impact on today’s education in the country.In this unit, we will discuss the historical the historical events leading to the Despatch, recommendations of the Despatch, its merits and weaknesses and finally the impact of the dispatch on the Indian Education System.
