It situates the schools, educational processes and Tamil culture between AD 500 and 1714 and significantly highlights the evolution of western education in Madras (1716-1828). It explores the functioning of the Tamil medium schools (1716-1846) and the textbooks in Tamil for schools which got printed in Madras, Palayamkottai and Nagercoil under the aegis of the English East India Company (1824-1857). The volume analyzes the growth of education under the British Crown through the primary schools and secondary schools (1858-1935) in Madras, compulsory school education introduced (1920-1941), opening up of the colleges at various places (1841-1937) besides aiming to providing higher education through universities created (1857-1940).
