England is indebted to India in educational field India's Gurukul system of education played unforgettable role in educating English people

It is a surprising  fact  that British government has spent not even a single penny on public education till 1833. In fact public education had no priority for the British regime. In some of the Church of Britain ,  simple grammar to enable people to understand Bible was taught. Industrial revolution took place in 18th century and big industries were set up in England and at the same time British Parliament passed education bill in 1802 and provisions for  education of weavers and their illiterate children were made. It said that in seven years of job a labourer should be taught for at least 2-4 hours by his master for the first four years so that common citizens could become able to read and write. With this day schools came into existence in England and now the question was where to get qualified teachers for them. It was the time  when majority of people in England were illiterate. Then Chaplean Andrew Bell and other British clergymen saw Madrass (South Indian) system of education and he got associated with Madrass school education as School Superintendent and it was seen that senior students in Madrass would teach junior students with monitor system and this way learning process began in the guidance of the teachers and any separate full time teacher was also not required. This method  also resolved discipline related systematic problems. In 1798, Andrew Bell went to England and introduced this Indian system which in tern became famous as Bell system or Madrass system in the world.  This system was finally accepted as the system of education in that country. No doubt that this system of education revolutionized the expansion of education in the country.
