Middle schools India, The present educational system of India is an implantation of British rulers. Wood's Dispatch of 1854 laid the foundation of present system of education in India. Before the advent of British in India, education system was private one. With the introduction of Wood's Dispatch known as Magna Carta of Indian education, the whole scenario changed. The main purpose of it was to prepare Indian Clerks for running local administration. Under it the means of school educations were the vernacular languages while the higher education was granted in English only. British government started giving funds to indigenous schools in need of help and thus slowly some of the schools became government-aided.
Middle schools in India, Contemplating on the new system which was introduced Mahatma Gandhi expressed his anguish in following words, "I say without fear of my figures being challenged successfully, that today India is more illiterate than it was fifty or a hundred years ago, and so is Burma, because the British administrators, when they came to India, instead of taking hold of things as they were, began to root them out. They scratched the soil and began to look at the root, and left the root like that, and the beautiful tree perished.
The village schools were not good enough for the British administrator, so he came out with his program. Every school must have so much paraphernalia, building, and so forth. Well, there were no such schools at all. There are statistics left by a British administrator which show that, in places where they have carried out a survey, ancient schools have gone by the board, because there was no recognition for these schools, and the schools established after the European pattern were too expensive for the people, and therefore they could not possibly overtake the thing. I defy anybody to fulfill a program of compulsory primary education of these masses inside of a century. This very poor country of mine is ill able to sustain such an expensive method of education. Our state would revive the old village schoolmaster and dot every village with a school both for boys and girls.".
Middle schools India, In the traditional Indian society there has always been a confusion between social morality and what the religion sanctions. The manu smriti is nothing but a body of sociological tenets dividing the social fabric on the basis of castes. We have seen how the caste system has held sway for thousands of years .
This has become possible because although the manu smriti is a purely sociological document a sort of religious sanction has been given to the caste system which has been enunciated therein. Through centuries the Indian society has been mixing up religion with ethics. Unlike in religions like the Islam, Hinduism has been eclectic enough to incorporate in itself the frequent changes in social morality taking place in the wake of social upheavals.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the sociological behavior of the middle classes. In the constant confusion that takes place between religion and ethics the middle classes have through centuries been trying to reconcile changing social mores with immutable religious tenets. The dilution of the ethical standards that one witnesses in the evolution of the modern day middle classes is a result of this confusion. What is very apparent is the technical compliance of the social tenets that one sees more particularly in the middle classes achieved through implementation of the 'letter' and not the 'spirit' .
