Education Commission (Kothari Commission)

The Education Commission, also known as the Kothari Commission (reporting in 1964-66), was a major review of India’s education system. Its goal was to recommend reforms for quality, accessibility, and relevance of education across the country. The commission emphasized universal primary education, skill development, vocational training, and promoting national integration and cultural values. It also prioritized teacher training, curriculum reform, and increased investment in education. The commission’s recommendations shaped India’s education policies for decades, aiming to make education more inclusive, modern, and aligned with the country’s social and economic development goals.
