Not all British children were sent back 'home' to be educated. Many schools were founded in India to provide schooling for children of the British, Anglo-Indian and Indian parents who wanted to provide the benefits of a quality, English-medium education without the necessity of being separated from their family for years at a time. Based on extensive interviews, research and her own personal experience, the author presents an entertaining and informative introduction to life at these institutions. Includes a list of useful addresses.
* Philp, Robert Kemp
''Index scholasticus : sons and daughters. A guide to parents in the choice of educational institutions preparatory to professional or other occupation of their children''.
London: Virtue, 1872
"Looking for background on requirements for a professional career in Britain and for the Civil Service in India after 1861? If so, try the ''Index Scholasticus''. Particularly good for those with medical career men, including Hints for students contemplating a medical career; Educational requirements for Civil Service in India; Fees etc. It covers all aspects of a professional career from Matriculation to Societies and Institutions, in England, Scotland and Ireland. Best read through its entirety to find gems of info. Available for free download at: [http://www.archive.org Internet Archive]"
