BRITISH EDUCATIONAL POLICY AND ITS IMPACT IN TAMILNADU
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Tamil Nadu had an ancient and effective Gurukula system of education. It led to the origin of Monitorial System. “ The system was in the nature of an informal approach to the problem of making available and adequate supply of teachers for the indigenous- educational institutions. It was based on the principle of „mutual instruction‟, and was worked out in practice by splitting up a school or a class into a number of homogeneous groups and by placing each group under the charge of a promising and superior pupil called the „monitor‟. The duties of the monitor were fairly comprehensive, for he was not only expected to look after the routine organizational and disciplinary matters but had also impart individual as well as collective instruction to the pupils in his group and to keep the teacher informed of their day-today work and progress in studies. Through such a system of mutual instruction, the monitors naturally gained, in due course of time, some proficiency in teaching and class-control which enabled them to teach in an independent institution of their own, if, after completing their education, they chose teaching as the profession of their life”.
