Introduction of English education

All three factors contributed to the introduction of English education in India. Statement 1: The Charter Act of 1813 explicitly provided for the promotion of English education and science in India, marking an official shift toward supporting education. Statement 2: The General Committee of Public Instruction (1823) was formed to implement educational policy and the debate between Orientalists and Anglicists took place within this committee. Statement 3: The Orientalist-Anglicist controversy (1820s-1830s) was a crucial intellectual debate where Anglicists like Macaulay argued for English-medium education while Orientalists supported indigenous languages and traditional learning. This controversy ultimately led to Macaulay's Minute on Education (1835), which cemented English as the language of higher education. All three elements collectively shaped English education policy in India. > Charter Act 1813 + General Committee 1823 + Orientalist-Anglicist debate = English education introduced. Answer: d.
