In early 19th century (1820-40), British commissioned a series of surveys to assess the level of indigenous education in India. Key ones amongst these were Thomas Munro survey (1821) & Adam's survey (1835). Key findings from these reports👇 1. Every village had a gurukul (pathshala)! Larger villages had more than one! 2. There were ~100,000 pathshalas in Bihar & Bengal alone! 3. These pathshalas taught reading & writing, languages, epics like ramayan/mahabharat & even arithmetic! 4. Literacy rate was high, pathshalas had good attendance rate! 5. Indian indigenous schooling was much more extensive, had better content & had superior teaching methodologies vs british! 6. Teachers here were more dedicated & sober than their english counterparts! 7. In a large number of these pathshalas, it was Shudras who were in majority (50-70%)! 8. This includes women too.
