The main findings of the Hartog Committee
In 1928, the Hartog Committee was set up to support ways of developing education and media in India, The committee found that an increase in number of schools and colleges had deteriorated the educational standard in India.
The committee was found that primary education was in a neglected condition, and hence it emphasized the primary education than higher education. It found that deterioration was also due to admitting undeserving students to high schools and intermediate stages.
Further the committee also brought to the notice of administration, the neglect of emphasis over vocational education. It thus recommended that average students ought to be encouraged to take up vocational courses. The hartog committee also brought to the notice that the priority of the University education has to be improved and, at the same time, it felt that admissions to the universities should be restricted.
