5. Voice, Choice and Incentives
Children
• Children have weak choice to choose their school
• Children have weak voice (NCPCR/SCPCR) for their
rights
Parents
• Parents (Govt. Schools) have weak voice (SMCs)
• Parents (Pvt. Schools) have strong voice as they pay
fees, there is market competition and they have
platforms like PTA
• Are incentives (MDM, Uniform, Free books,
Scholarship)provided by Government to
parents/children working?
6. Voice, Choice and Incentives
Teachers
• Teachers (Govt. Schools) have strong voice in form of teacher’s
unions
• Teachers (Govt. Schools) have no incentive to perform (teach
better) in a govt. school
Private Schools
•
High fee pvt. Schools have comparatively strong voice as they
have well structured school associations, but budget pvt.
Schools (BPS) have a weak voice
• Any education entrepreneur has a very weak incentive to start
a schools as the space is heavily regulated, it’s not-for-profit
and so difficult to attract investments
Government
• Government has weak incentive to make it’s government
schools better as education is still not a political issue in India
7. Efficient Use of Public Funds

Pedagogical and operational autonomy to
government schools

decentralization
Support for budget private schools
