Abstract

Colonization phenomena have left great impression on the various segments of the society of the sub-continent, and education is not the exemption. Dimension of education was completely change with the introduction of British education system in generally and with the implementation of Macaulay theory of education especially drafted for subcontinent specifically. It is very unfortunate that somehow or the other we are still following the legacy of colonization. The impact of colonization can be seen and felt in the society, especially in education sector.  The presence of different education system, different syllabus for different social class, education quality with respect to finance all are the outcome of colonization. Moreover, presence of elite class in the formulation of policy also proved that present system doesn’t base on equity. This phenomenon is very damaging for the national integration, and this aspect we need to address so loudly as never before. This study highlighted the effect of colonization on education along with certain recommendation to overcome on these effects.
