The Main Recommendations of the Education Commission (A Summary)

Abstract

From Preface: The Education Commission appointed by the Government of India in July 1964 submitted its comprehensive Report in June 1966, recommending guiding principles and working policies for the development of Indian Education a t all stages and in all aspects. Since its publication in June 1966, the Report has been discussed in great detail in and outside the Parliament. The present Summary, covering the main recommendations of the Education Commission, was prepared by Shri J. P. Naik, Member- Secretary, Education Commission and Adviser to the Government of India, for the Members of Parliament. Although the basis of its contents is the main Report of the Commission, its presentation has been simplified for purposes of ready reference. If, however, it appears to deviate at any point from the recommendations of the Commission, it is the main Report that should be taken as valid.
