Explanation:

- Macaulay's 1835 Minute on Education recommended the use of English as the medium of instruction.

- He emphasized the importance of ‘liberal’ literary training, aiming to create a class of Indians with an English taste and intellect.

- He pushed for teaching of Western texts alone at higher levels, dismissing the value of Sanskrit, Arabic, and traditional Oriental knowledge for modern progress.

- Teaching of both Western and Oriental texts at higher levels was NOT recommended. Macaulay was explicit in preferring Western knowledge over Oriental learning.
