The Commission was also definitely of the view that the school stage should consist of 12 years (10+2) and that every effort should be made to vocationalize the higher secondary stage so that, ultimately, 50% of the enrolments at this stage would be in the vocational courses. The Commission also recommended a detailed programme for bringing about Athese important changes.” These proposals of the Education Commission have found general support in the conntry. Even before the Report of the Commission was submitted, the National Integration Committee appointed by the Ministry of Education under the chairmanship of the late Dr. Sampurnanand recommended that, from the point of view of national integration, the uniform pattern of 10+2+3 should be adopted for school and college classes in all parts of the country. This recommendation was also supported by the Committee of Educationists and student leaders appointed funder the directive of the National Integration Committee. 1.
