Secondary Education in Modern India (1800 – 2022) is a rare treatise of
educational research, based on authentic primary date collected directly
from archives. It spans two centuries and two decades of development of
Secondary Education in India – from its faint faltering beginnings to the
nationwide obsession with it today. It covers the gradual evolution of
secondary education in India, presenting in detail the changing policies
and programs, reports of different National Education Commissions, and
the structural changes over a vast time frame. It is an invaluable reference
book for students of education and those engaged in researching the
development of education in India.
