Raliegh Commission of Lord


Curzon (1902)
Lord Curzon (1899-1905) appointed Raliegh Commission on education in 1902 to improve University education in
the British India. The Government accepted the recommendations of the Commission in 1904. It recommended:
1. The legal powers of the older Universities shall be enlarged and all the Universities should be recognised as
teaching bodies.
2. The Senate, the Syndicate and faculties should be reorganised.
3. The rules of affliation of the colleges to the Universities should be framed. The standard of affliation should
be maintained and the Senate of a University should check it
4. Each college should have a Governing Body.
5. The syllabus and the mode of examination in all the subjects should be changed according to the
Commission’s suggestions.
6. Residence should be provided to the students. It was thought that the University Act of 1904 was to tighten
the hold of the Government on the Universities. This Act made Lord Curzon the most unpopular with the
educated class, because under this Act the Vice Chancellors of the Universities were appointed by the State and
the Government itself granted affliation to the colleges with the Universities.
