Synopsis

Report by committee for the revision of Engl Madras Presidency. This 1875 document records the work of the Committee for the Revision of English, Telugu, and Tamil School Books in the Madras Presidency. It outlines the origin, scope, and methods of inquiry, the circulars sent to educational officers, and the discussions on examining government school books in English, Telugu, and Tamil. The Report reviews a wide range of reading books, grammars, geographies, and histories, and considers proposals for an Imperial series of readers, vernacular grammars adapted to Indian needs, teacher manuals, and maps. It discusses criticisms from officers, the influence of Dr. Murdoch’s pamphlet on censuring certain content, and the need for neutral or balanced treatment of religion in school books. The document concludes with a plan for centralized authorship, a national standard, and phased implementation across presidencies and languages.
