In 1917 the Government of India appointed a Commission to study and report on the problems of Calcutta University. Dr. M.E. Sadler, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds, was appointed its Chairman. The Commission included two Indian members, namely Sir Ashutosh Mukeiji and Dr. Zia-ud-din Ahmad.
While the Hunter Commission had reported on problems of secondary education and the University Commission of 1902 mainly on the different aspects of university education, the Sadler Commission reviewed the entire field from school education to university education.
The Sadler Commission held the view that the improvement of secondary education was a necessary condition for the improvement of university education.
The commission proposed for an effective synthesis between College and the university. Further the Saddler commission sought to resolve the problems of the system of education from the basic level. Although the commission reported for the lowering standard of the Calcutta University, it also made recommendations for the other universities in India too.
The Sadler commission like that of the other educational Commissions also made several recommendations in order to improve the conditions of other universities in India too. The Sadler commission recommended a twelve-year school course. After clearing the intermediate examination rather than the Matriculation Examination, the students would be entitled to enter the university. In order to materialize this idea the Government of India was urged to create several Intermediate colleges. These colleges could either be run as the independent institutions or might be attached to the selected high schools. The administration and the entire control of the Secondary education were entrusted on the Boards of Secondary and Intermediate education. These recommendations of the saddler Commission had a twofold impact. On the one hand it prepared the students for the university education, thereby providing a sound collegiate education to the students.
The duration of the degree course after the intermediate state should be limited to three years. For these two different branches was made in the Intermediate colleges. For the eligible students the provisions of honors degree and for the general students, there was the provision of Pass Course. The commission also recommended less rigidity in the framing the rules and regulations of the Universities.
The main objective of the Commission was ‘to inquire into the condition and prospects of the University of Calcutta and to consider the question of a constructive policy in relation to the question it presented’.
