Review of Secondary Education Commission in 1952, its Aims and Objectives & Recommendations for Structure of school education

Abstract

The Central Advisory Board of Education at its fourteenth meeting, held in January, 1948, had recommended the appointment of a commission to examine the prevailing system of secondary education in the country and suggest measures for its reorganization and improvement. At its meeting held in January 1951, the Board reiterated its former decision and pressed for the implementation of its recommendation in view of the urgent need for the reconstruction of education at this level. While the problems of education at the elementary and the university stages have been surveyed in recent years and steps have been taken to improve and coordinate facilities for technical education, there has been no comprehensive or thorough examination of the problems pertaining to secondary education. Further, it is the secondary schools that supply teachers to the primary schools and students to the universities. An inefficient system of secondary education is, therefore, bound to affect adversely the quality of education at all stages.
