Explanation: Lord Macaulay‘s Minute (1835): ? The famous Lord Macaulay‘s Minute settled the row in favour of the Anglicists—the limited government resources were to be devoted to the teaching of western sciences and literature through the medium of English language alone. ? Lord Macaulay held the view that ?Indian learning was inferior to European learning?—which was true as far as physical and social sciences in the contemporary stage were concerned. ? The government soon made English as the medium of instruction in its schools and colleges, and opened a few English schools and colleges instead of a large number of elementary schools, thus neglecting mass education. Wood‘s Despatch (1854): This document was the first comprehensive plan for the spread of education in India. ? It asked the Government of India to assume responsibility for the education of the masses, thus repudiating the =Downward Filtration Theory‘. ? It systematized the hierarchy from vernacular primary schools in the villages at the bottom, followed by Anglo-Vernacular High Schools and an affiliated college at the district level, and affiliating universities in the Presidency towns of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. ? It recommended English as the medium of instruction for higher studies and vernaculars at school level.
