- 1835

Lord Bentinck enacted the English Education Act 1835, which aligned with Macaulay's recommendations for English-medium instruction and teacher training.
Macaulay’s Minute on Indian Education (February 1835) recommended English for secondary education and training Indian teachers. Bentinck’s Act closely matched these recommendations, implementing Western institutional education. This legislative action solidified the role of English in the educational and administrative framework of British India.
