Explanation:
Hunter Education Commission was a landmark commission appointed by Viceroy Lord Ripon with objectives to look into the complaints of the non-implementation of the Wood’s Despatch of 1854; the contemporary status of elementary education in the British territories; and suggest means by which this can be extended and improved. This commission, headed by Sir William Wilson Hunter, had submitted its report in 1882.

Recommendations of Hunter Commission The Hunter Commission brought out the neglect to the primary and secondary education in the country and recommended that the responsibility for the Primary Education must be given to the Local Boards and Municipal Boards. Its important recommendations were as follows:
1.Encouragement to primary education.
2.Secondary education
3.Grant-in-aid for Indigenous Schools
4.Emphasis on Moral and Physical Education
5.There should be literary and vocational training in secondary education.
6.The commission brought out inadequate facilities available for the female education in the country.
7.Special attention should be paid towards development of education among Muslims.

This significantly reduced the British element in elementary education. In 1882, the Punjab University was established which lessened the burden over Calcutta University. Between 1882 to 1901, the number of students enrolled in primary and secondary schools increases substantially.
