HARTOG COMMITTEE
To look into deterioration of educational standards due the emergence of too many institutions, the Hartog COmmittee of 1929 recommended a selective system for adm sion in universities and channeling students into indusm and commercial courses after the Middle Stage.
WARDRA SCHEME
The Congress provincial ministries of 1937 focussed on preparing a national scheme for education. Gandhi proposed his Wardha Scheme for basic education that aimed at learning through activity. The details, as prepared by the Zakir Hussain Committee, focussed on manual productive work. As the Congress ministries soon resigned, the scheme could be taken up only after 1947.
SARGEANT PLAN
The Sargeant Plan, worked out by the Central Advisory Board of Education in 1944, called for elementary and higher secondary schools, universal, free and compulsory education for children in the 6-11 age group, and a six-year school course for the 11-17 age group.
Though the plan aimed to reconstruct education in 40 years, it w~s later restricted to 16 years. Sir John Sargeant was the Educational Adviser to the Government of India.
