Which one of the following reports addressed the academic, technical and administrative problems of the examination system?
Report on standards of the Educational System (1965)
The report that specifically addressed the academic, technical and administrative problems of the examination system is the Report on standards of the Educational System (1965). This report examined the deficiencies of the prevailing examination system in Indian higher education and made recommendations to reform its academic content, technical procedures and administrative machinery so as to raise the overall standards of education.
The correct answer is therefore the Report on standards of the Educational System (1965), which was directly concerned with examination reform and educational standards in the post-independence period.
The Report of the University Education Commission (1948-49), chaired by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, dealt broadly with the reorganisation of university education, teaching standards and aims of higher education rather than being focused on the academic, technical and administrative problems of the examination system, so it is not the intended answer. The Sargent Report (1944) was a comprehensive plan for the development of education in India across all levels drawn up in the pre-independence period and was not centred on examination-system problems. The Hartog Committee report (1929), though it did comment on examinations, was a much earlier review concerned mainly with the growth and quality of education under British rule and is not the report referred to here.
Correct answer: Report on standards of the Educational System (1965)
