By the Mont-Ford Reforms, 1919, education was transferred to the control of provincial Governments and the educational growth was pushed upward. The non-cooperation movement and the national awakening helped a lot in moulding the educational pattern of the country according to the changing needs and spirit of times. The glaring defects of modern system of education were clearly brought to light and mere literary education proved quite futile in practical life. Consequently the dissatisfaction against the educational system increased considerably both in official and non-official circles.
