In The Beginning

• In ancient times, India had the Gurukula system of education

• All learning was closely linked to nature and to life, and not confined to memorizing some information

Ascend to the present state

•The modern school system was brought to India, originally by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 1830s.

•Curriculum was confined to “modern” subjects such as science and mathematics, and subjects like metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary.

Ascend to the present state• The Uttar Pradesh Board was the first Board set up in India

in the year 1921 followed by Rajputana Board in 1929.

• Eventually, in 1952, the constitution of the board was amended and it was renamed Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)

• Today there are thousands of schools affiliated to the Board, both within India and in many other countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.

The School System •As per the constitution of India, school education was originally a state subject. This was changed with a constitutional amendment in 1976.

•Organisations like CABE and NCERT, play a lead role in the evolution and monitoring of educational policies and programmes. Each state has its counterpart called the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT).

The School System• A number of “central schools” (named Kendriya

Vidyalayas) have been established in adddition to the private schools in the country which follow the CBSE syllabus.

• The school system in India has four levels: lower primary (age 6 to 10), upper primary (11 and 12), high school (13 to 15) and higher secondary (17 and 18)

• Students throughout the country have to learn three languages (namely, English, Hindi and their mother tongue).

Government’s policy on Education System

• Universal and compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6-14 was a cherished dream of the new government of the Republic of India

• The Government has made primary education a Fundamental Right of every Indian citizen.

• The expenditure by the Government of India on school education in recent years comes to around 3% of the GDP
