Regarding Wood’s Dispatch, which of the following statements are true?

1. Grants-in-Aid system was introduced.
2. Establishment of universities was recommended.
3. English as a medium of instruction at all levels of education was recommended.

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Wood’s Dispatch (1854) is considered the Magna Carta of English Education in India.

The key recommendations included:

• Establishment of an education department in every province.
• Establishment of universities in major cities like Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras, modeled after the London University.
• Opening at least one government school in every district.
• Providing Grants-in-Aid to affiliated private schools.
• Training Indian natives in their mother tongue.

Accordingly, Education Departments were established, and universities were opened in Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras in 1857.

While Wood's Dispatch promoted English education, it also emphasized vernacular languages at the lower levels. It did not exclusively recommend English as the medium of instruction at all levels.

Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is correct. Statement 3 is not correct. Hence, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
