What were the impacts of new education policy in india during british rule?
Answers
There were both good and bad effects of the British education system. On one hand, they reduced the role of religion in education and marked the beginning of women empowerment. The traditional Gurukuls were usually males only but with the advent of English education, a lot of the rich among Indians began educating their daughters. Many leaders who pioneered modern India went to England to pursue their higher education. On the flip side, I believe the English only aim was to manufacture entire generations of educated clerks and servants who could carry out the grassroot level work or serve in their Armies. This is actually still prevalent here and the system still fails to produce innovators instead of hundreds of thousands who aspire only to get a “decent” job.
