D?

C cannot be true as it repudiated the downward filteration theory and promoted mother tougue as primary level and English for higher levels.

B is also false.

Regarding D, it had components of scientific education.

For A, it had components of vocational education. So confused between A and D.

Is it D ? Bcs prior to that it was oreintalist vs angelist tussle over patttern of education. Macaulay and later wood adopted anglist approach of introducing rationalism. Infact wood I think looked at Indian edu as inferior

C is not exactly correct because Woods Despatch recommended vernacular medium at school level, and then English lang. for higher studies.


The D option is more correct as it did focus on rationalism in Traditional Indian education by promoting secular education, stressed on female and vocational education and asked the govt to take responsibility.
It is called Magna Carta as it laid the foundation of western education in India. 
The wording of options is confusing though.

As per Mrunal the answer is C but the government website says it is open-ended procurement (https://dfpd.gov.in/Procurement-Policy.htm) hence D should be the answer. 

Please suggest what’s right, am I missing something

I will also place my bet on B. Reason being nowhere i have read that woods despatch wanted to generate employment or any scientific temper. It talked abt vernacular medium rather than English medium.

Open ended procurement is for rice and wheat. For other food grains there is state wise quota. Maybe due to that 1 is right. Others can confirm.

@Steph_Curry No takers for A? Indians were largely excluded from government services on the pretext of being unworthy and disloyal. But then this deprived British to save revenues as Indians could be hired cheaply. So woods dispatch proposed the curriculum which make Indians more worthy, modern, English and ultimately mobilise them under British work force.

I was going to go for A as well. Wood's Despatch wasn't about reforming traditional education, it was about introducing modern education.

@Steph_Curry The question is asking "aim of education" and not the aims/objectives of the whole despatch itself. Aim of education is a part of the whole despatch. Now, I googled where can I find aim of education as stated in Wood's despatch. Link is given below, I think it could be taken as legitimate (its not official or anything). So, answer should be B.
