Which was the first education commission constituted in independent India?

The first education commission set up in independent India was the University Education Commission, appointed in 1948 under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan.

The Secondary Education Commission came later, in the early 1950s, to reform school-level education.

The Education Commission of the 1960s, often called the Kothari Commission, examined the whole education system afterwards.

The National Knowledge Commission was a much later body set up in the twenty-first century.

The University Education Commission reviewed and guided the reform of higher education after independence.

Its recommendations shaped the growth of universities and standards of teaching in the new republic.
