Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
Wood’s Dispatch (1854) introduced the Grants-in-Aid system to finance qualifying private schools and proposed setting up universities at the three Presidency towns, so statements 1 and 2 are correct. It recommended English as the medium only for higher (not all) levels while advocating vernacular languages at the primary stage, rendering statement 3 incorrect. Therefore only 1 and 2 are true.
