The following measures were taken under the English Education Act 1835:
- English was made the medium of instruction for higher education.
- Promotion of Oriental institutions like the Calcutta Madrasa and Benaras Sanskrit College was stopped. These institutions were seen as temples of darkness that were falling of themselves into decay.
- English textbooks began to be produced for schools.
