The Sargent Scheme, formally known as the Report of the Sargent Commission on Post-War Education Development in India, was a 1944 memorandum prepared at the behest of the British-run Government of India that outlined the future development of racy and education in India. ==Universal literacy== A central goal of the Sargent Scheme was the educational reconstruction of India. It recommended the introduction of free and compulsory education for all Indian children in the 6-11 years age group.〔 The plan aimed to bring about universal literacy in India within 40 years of its introduction, i.e. by 1984. The scheme went as follows: 1. Establishment of elementary schools and high school. 2. High schools of 2 types : A. Academic. B. Technical and Vocational 3. Intermediate courses were to be abolished. Although the 40 year time-frame was derided at the time by leaders of the Indian independence movement as being too long a period to achieve universal literacy,〔 average literacy levels in post-independence India had only reached about 65% in 2008 (64 years after the scheme would have been launched) and were increasing only "sluggishly" at 1.5% per year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sargent Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
