India is a country where prime importance is given to education since it is very important for improving society both commercially and morally. Presently education in India is provided through schools that are spread all over the country. This has lead to improvement in the literacy rate in India where the state of Kerala leads the nation with a literacy rate of more than 90 percent. Schools provide education through various levels such as primary, secondary, undergraduate, and postgraduate. The board and standard of education also vary between different schools. Colonial schools were different from present schools. They had a different system of education where a schoolmaster taught everyone.

The schools were small comprising of a single room and were dominated by boys initially. Later realizing the importance of education, girls started to go to schools. Punishments were severe in colonial schools if students were found to misbehave. Barasat Peary Charan Sarkar Government High School at Kolkata, Bishop Cotton Girls School at Bangalore, Karnataka, Loreto Convent at Darjeeling, West Bengal, Mindapore Collegiate School at Midnapore, West Bengal, and Bishop Cotton School at Shimla are some of the colonial schools in India.
