History of Education systems in India:-

The History of Education system began with teaching of traditional elements such as  Indian religions, Indian Mathematics, Indian Logic, at early Hindu and Buddhist centres of learning such as ancient  Takshashila (in modern-day Pakistan) & Nalanda( in India).

Islamic education became ingrained with the establishment of Islamic empires in the Indian subcontinent in the middle ages while the coming of the Europeans later brought western education to colonial  India.

In 19th Century India,” English Education” meant “modern education”. Most taught a curriculum similar to public schools. Britain at the time taught English as a medium of instruction, especially those sponsored by the missionaries. 

British education system became solidified in India as missionary schools were established during 1820. Macaulay succeeded in replacing  Persian with English as the administrative language, the use of English as the medium of instruction and the training of  English speaking  Indians as teachers through the English Education Act in 1835.
