Hunter Commission

The Hunter Commission, officially known as the Hunter Commission of 1882, was a significant inquiry established by the British government in India to examine the state of education in the country. Headed by Sir William Hunter, the commission assessed the existing educational systems and recommended reforms to enhance quality and accessibility. It highlighted the need for more primary education for all, improvements in secondary education, and the promotion of vocational training. The recommendations aimed to create a more educated population and support the British colonial administration’s goals in India, shaping the future of education in the region.
