The document summarizes the findings and recommendations of the Secondary Education Commission from 1952-1953 in India, also known as the Mudaliar Commission. The Commission aimed to develop a balanced education system that promotes national integration, character development, leadership skills, and vocational efficiency. It identified challenges around access, quality, equity, gender and socioeconomic disparities. The Commission recommended a 7-year secondary education program, use of regional languages as the medium of instruction, modernizing textbooks, introducing vocational courses, restructuring exams, and establishing a Board of Secondary Education. It helped lay the foundations for vocational education and guidance/counselling programs in Indian schools.
