A UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION CASE STUDY:INTEL REAL-TIME MULTI-VIEW FAC...ijejournal
Since 2011, University of Michigan—Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute (JI) has established 122 corporate-sponsored Capstone Design Projects (CDPs) with world leading companies such as Covidien,
General Electric, Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Siemens. Of these corporations, Intel was the first sponsor,
having funded 21 projects and mentored 105 students over four consecutive years. This paper is a
longitudinal case study following three Intel-sponsored multi-view real-time face detection CDP teams with
15 undergraduate students during 2013 and 2014. On the technical side, the system design of face detection is based on Intel High Definition (HD) 4000 graphics and OpenCL. With numerous techniques, including accelerated pipeline over CPU and GPU, image decomposition, two-dimensional (2D) task
allocation, and a combination of Viola-Jones algorithm and continuously adaptive mean-shift (Camshift) algorithm, a speed of 32 fps was attained for real-time multi-view face detection. In addition, a frontal view detection accuracy of 81% was achieved in Phase I and a multi-view detection accuracy of 95% in Phase III. Furthermore, an innovative application called face-detection game controller (FDGC) was developed. On the other side, this research also addresses benefitsof stakeholders. After graduation, a third(5) of these students worked in multinational corporations (MNCs) and two thirds (10) of these students entered top American graduate schools. At the time of this writing, five of them have finished their master’s degrees
and are currently working for famous companies, such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google.

The disabled male percentage with Illiteracy is about 37.63 and for disabled females is about 55.44 that means disabled females are more Illiterate than disabled males. The percentage of disabled persons who are Literate is about 54.52. The disabled persons who are Literate but below Primary level is about 10.59 , have primary level of education but below Middle is about 13.26 ., have middle but below Matric Secondary is about 9.13 , have Secondary level of Education but below Graduate is about 12.86, have graduate and above is about 4.65 .

Budget Allocation/ Human Capital Formation:
If you really want to know the priorities of a government, instead of going to their manifesto, check their budget allocation. One major reason our literacy rates have remained low or extremely stagnant is that there is very little allocation in the Budget.
Too Many Stakeholders:
The system has too many stakeholders – teachers, students, administrators and even the Government. While the main focus in on the ones who education is being dispensed to, the children, even the imparters, that is the teachers, aren’t happy with a lot of instability in regulations, unwarranted discipline imposed on them. And, in that bid to please all the stakeholders, and failing at it, the essence of education and literacy is lost. It’s the age-old saying of “Too many cooks spoil the broth”.
The System Is Outdated:
We need better policies, more interactive classroom approach, more student-friendly learning methodology, and better study models which would focus on holistic and comprehensive learning, instead of the flawed and narrow ‘let’s cram and vomit in exam’ models.
How Can It Get Better?:
Education Start-Ups: The statistics clearly show how important it is for our literacy rates to get better. Many online education start-ups are working for the literacy rates to soar. They focus on building interest in the formative years and, hence, target the younger age groups.
Follow the Delhi Model: The Delhi government’s model on budget allocation for education is a solid example of prioritising right. Their programme ‘Mission Buniyaad’ was aimed to beat the poor literacy rate. Today, students are at a level playing field thanks to their exemplary programmes which have also got world recognition. Today, the Delhi Chief Minister’s son and a tailor’s son are going to be studying together at IIT. It’s not about the class divide, but providing equal access to resources- that’s the main ‘end’ a government must seek to achieve through the ‘means’ of these policies.
Illiteracy
Lack of knowledge in a particular subject or is the inability to write and read.
When a person is not able to read even a simple book and is not able to write anything more, then his won name this is an example of illiteracy.

Problems of Women Education in India A Case Study of Mangalagiri Mandal in Gu...ijtsrd
Rapidly changing technologies and increasing globalization suggests that better education and training have become essential for sustainable development improved livelihoods and the competitiveness of the economy. Education and training needs are required to be placed at the centre of the rural development agenda in order to contribute to eradicating poverty and backwardness, to ensure sustainable growth and to build human capacity for rural development. Education is the process that liberates the mind. It is liberation from all forms of darkness and ignorance. Womens literacy is essential for economic viability and independence. Acquisition of knowledge is one of the prerequisites of human development. Today all development agencies agree on the importance of educating women in order to promote and maintain family education, health, nutrition and general well being. The aim of education should be to train women in such a way that they apply their acquired knowledge to the pursuits of daily life and fit them for the position they have to fill.

Analysis of Poverty and Educational Inequality in Uttar Pradeshijtsrd
Poverty is a major challenge for Uttar Pradesh state and India. Poverty is prevalent in both rural and urban areas in the state. Educational disparity refers to the status of education level in social groups that the educational status in scheduled caste is worst as compared to other castes. Male literacy is higher than females, which shows gender inequality in the state. Education is the mirror of society, so the educational development of every individual is very important. Thus, education is the root of progress. Thus, absolute poverty is defined by basic needs, such as food, cloth, and health. There is a lack of quality education in the state. Relative poverty refers to a comparative study based on income or consumption inequality across regions, nations, and internationally. According to the Planning Commission of India, Poverty refers to the availability of calories per capita for consumption, 2400 kilocalories in a rural area and 2100 kilocalories in an urban area, if a person is less consumption given the calories that person comes under poverty. This paper analyzes poverty and educational inequality in Uttar Pradesh during 2004 05 to 2011 12. Thus, educational inequality among social groups reduces the opportunity and development potential in the state this is an injustice for equal development in society.

Trends and Levels of Female Literacy in Belagavi Districtijtsrd
Women education plays a very important role in the overall growth of the country. It does not only help in the development of half of the human capital but also improves the standard of living. The progress of the nation or region is shown by the level of education and literacy of its population. Education, particularly among women has been considered as one of the major aspects for socio-economic development of the people of a region. Belagavi district is among the rapidly developing districts in Karnataka with respect to socio-economic and agricultural development. According to 2011 census, average literacy rate of Belagavi district (73.48%) is lower than the average literacy rate of Karnataka state (75.60%).(Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, 2011) This can be attributed to greater regional disparities throughout Belagavi district in literacy. In this paper, we present Provisional Population Totals of census 2001 and 2011 and examine the extent of literacy disparities at the taluk level. Here, we found that literacy rate in the study area was 64.21 % in 2001 which has increased to 73.48% in 2011. We also found that the urban literacy (85.56%) is significantly greater than the rural literacy (69.28%) which is concurrent to the wider gender disparities from the rural to the urban population.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Myths and Realities of Tribal Education: A Primary Study in
Similipal Area of Odisha
Dr. Kabita Kumari Sahu
Lecturer in Economics, North Orissa University, Baripada, Odisha
ABSTRACT: The objective of the paper is to analyse the status of tribal education in Mayurbhanj district in
general and Similipal forest area in particular. The study is based on primary data collected from tribes in 13
villages inside Similipal forest area of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha. There are 62 tribes in Odisha with 22.21
% of the total population of the State. Odisha is a state with acute problems to be addressed in the field of tribal
education. Mayurbhanj is one of the tribal dominated districts of Odisha, which has been declared as the fully
Scheduled district of the State. Out of 26 Blocks, the tribes are more concentrated in Udala, Khunta, Bijatala,
Jamda, and Baripada Blocks where the population varies from 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the total population
of respective Blocks. The study reveals that the status of education in Similipal area is much less i.e. 12.62 %
out of which female literacy percentage is 5.00 % whereas the literacy rates of Mayurbhanj district, Odisha
and India are 51.91 %, 63.08 % and 64.8 % respectively. The gender wise comparison of literacy rate in study
area states that the literacy rate of male is 80 % and that of female is 20 % out of total literate in the studied
villages. As per survey, the overall literacy rate of surveyed villages is 12.62 % with 20.20 % male literacy and
5.0 % female literacy, which is much below the national average. The literacy rate is maximum 40.87 % in
Kabatghai village and whereas lowest literacy rate 3.75 % is observed in village Bakua. The physical location
of the village, economic condition, attitude of the parents, village education committee, and teacher related
problems are various critical issues in the study area. Relevant study materials in local languages, appointment
of local teachers, changes in perceptions and outlooks of teachers ,tribe specific learning arrangements, and
establishment of more residential schools are suggestions provided in the paper to improve tribal
KEY WORDS: Development, Education, Literacy, School, Tribes
I. INTRODUCTION
Literacy and educational attainment are powerful indicators of social and economic development
among the backward groups in India. Currently, the tribes lag behind not only the general population but also
the Scheduled Caste population in literacy and education. This disparity is even more marked among Scheduled
Tribe women, who have the lowest literacy rates in the country (Maharatna, 2005). The male-female gap in
literacy and educational attainment among the scheduled tribes is significant. For several historical, economic
and social reasons the scheduled Tribes have remained economically backward and socially retarded which is
true with respect to their educational levels. In recent years, sustained and high levels of economic growth
provide a unique opportunity and momentum for faster social sector development. Investing in education plays a
key role in meeting the World Bank’s social development objectives, which support inclusive growth, social
cohesion, and accountability in development. Professor Amartya Sen recently emphasized education as an
important parameter for any inclusive growth in an economy. The policies have to focus on inclusive rather than
divisive growth strategies .Education is in fact, an input not only for economic development of tribes but also
for inner strength of the tribal communities. It also helps them in meeting the new challenges of life. In this
context, this paper is an attempt to analyse the status of education in Mayurbhanj district in general and Similpal
forest area in particular. It examines issues concerning school access and equity for Scheduled Tribe
communities and also highlights their unique problems, which may require divergent policy responses.
II. TRIBAL EDUCATION IN INDIA
India is moving towards inclusive growth but lack of education, skills development and transparent
governance are a few hurdles in progressing towards it at a faster pace. The Scheduled Tribe population
represents one of the most economically impoverished and marginalized groups in India. There are over 500
tribes (with many overlapping communities in more than one State) as notified under article 342 of the
Constitution of India, spread over different States and Union Territories of the country, the largest number of
tribal communities being in the State of Odisha. Although Scheduled Tribes are a minority, they constitute about
8.2 % of the total population in India. About 93% of the tribal people live in rural areas and are engaged in
agricultural pursuits. Nine States like Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, and West Bengal which together account for more than four-fifths of the total

tribal population in India. The trend of literacy of tribes in India from 1961 to 2001 is shown in table – 1. The
percentage of literacy of tribes was only 8.54 % in 1961 which has increased to 47.10 % in 2001. But female
literacy among tribes is only 34.76 % compared to male literacy of 59.17%.

Realizing the need to improve the overall status of tribes, their education has emerged at the forefront of recent
development efforts. The literacy rates of tribes in rural and urban area in India are shown in table – 2 for understanding
status of tribal education. Total female literacy of tribes in Odisha is very low at 23.37% as compared to male literacy of
51.48%. Bihar has the lowest tribal literacy where as Kerala has highest literacy among the tribes.

Despite the education initiatives, there is disparity among the states in terms of tribal literacy rates.
Low enrolment coupled with soaring drop-out rates in primary schools exacerbates the problem, which has its
origin in a gamut of inter-related cultural and socio-economic variables.Adivasisare associated with a certain
stigma and behavior, which can be partially tackled through a change in mindset among non-tribes.
III. TRIBAL EDUCATION IN ODISHA AND MAYURBHANJ
The Scheduled tribes constitute the most backward group among the weaker sections in Odisha. There
are 62 tribes in Odisha with 22.21 % of the total population of the State. Odisha is a state with acute problems to
be addressed in the field of tribal education. Out of 30 administrative districts of Odisha, 6 districts like Koraput,
Rayagada, Nabarangpur, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanj and Sundargarh are declared as fully Scheduled districts.
Mayurbhanj is one of the tribal dominated districts of Odisha, which has been declared as the fully Scheduled
district of the State. Out of 26 Blocks, the tribals are more concentrated in Udala, Khunta, Bijatala, Jamda, and
3. Myths and Realities of Tribal Education: A Primary Study in SimilipalArea of Odisha

Baripada Blocks where the population varies from 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the total population of respective
Blocks. The tribes constitute 56.6 per cent of total population of the district, though the population of
Mayurbhanj is only 6 per cent of the State’s total population.With a population of 22 lakh 23 thousand, this
district has 2374 primary schools, 478 high schools, 80 colleges and a university. Despite all these infrastructure
available for education, the literacy rate of scheduled tribe and scheduled caste population is only 39% and 53%
respectively. The tribal literacy rate of Mayurbhanj district is 38.80% out of which male literacy is 54.11% and
female literacy is 23.51%. There are 2941 primary schools, 795 middle schools, 442 secondary schools, and 98
general college (Govt. and Aided). Out of 61 villages, 13 villages are surveyed and the population of the village
found to be 2210 having male 1109 and female 1101 and the percentage of male and female are 50.18% and
49.82% respectively. The study reveals that the status of education in Similipal area is much less i.e. 12.62 %
out of which female percentage is 5.00 % whereas the literacy rates of Mayurbhanj district, Odisha and India
are 51.91 %, 63.08 % and 64.8 % respectively which can be seen in table – 3.

Out of the literates in Similipal study area, 62.5 % of the students left the school after primary level.
During interaction with the villagers, it is found that the Government machinery proposing educational schemes
basing on mathematical calculation without studying the following factors for which the education level of the
area falls to such an extent though the problem is no doubt, a gigantic and complex in nature. So it is not
possible for the tinny children to cross such a distance of 3-4 k.ms or more to go to schools.

Out of the total literate as found by the survey nearly 12.62 % literates. The literates have studied up to
Primary level is 62.5 %, Middle class level 18.16 %, High School level 13.88 % and College level is 5.46 %
(Table-6). People are now realizing partially the need of education but due to poverty, inaccessibility and lack of
basic facilities, still local tribal people in the villages are much below in the education standard.

IV. PROBLEMS AND CRITICAL ISSUES OF TRIBAL EDUCATION
On the basis of field experience in the tribal areas, there are many major issues and problems in the
field of tribal education. They are as follows:
4.1 The Physical Location of the Village
The tribes inhabit in the forests in a scattered manner. So, it becomes impossible to open up separate
schools in each village where the required students strength is not available. On other land, tribal habitations
remain segregated from each other by some physical barriers like rivers, nalas and forests. So these physical
barriers create a hindrance for the children of a tribal village to attend the school in a neighboring village.
4.2 Economic Condition:
The tribes depend on forests for 8 months and on agriculture for 4 months. The children of 4 to 6 age
group are found to be helping their parents in collection of forest products. In this situation, parents do not desire
to spare their children or their labour power and allow them to attend schools.
4.3 Attitude of the parents:
Tribal parents are basically illiterate. Their illiteracy does not permit them to understand the long term
values of education. As education does not yield them any immediate economic return, they prefer to engage
their children in remunerative employment which supplements the family income and strengthens the family
economy. Further a few parents who have become aware of the values of education, fail to accord education to
their children as they cannot afford finances for it.
4.4 Village Education Committee:
In Odisha, VECs have been constituted to preserve and monitor the functioning of the schools. Till
now tribes are not aware of the role of the VECs. Neither the villagers nor the members of the VECs take any
active interest to enhance enrolment and attendance of tribal children in primary school.
5. Myths and Realities of Tribal Education: A Primary Study in SimilipalArea of Odisha
www.ijhssi.org 5 | P a g e
4.5 Teacher Related Problems
In tribal villages, villagers have virtually no relationship with the teachers. Teachers do not get any
accommodation facility in the village, which makes them irregular which hampers the normal routine of a
school. Further, the apathetic attitude of the villagers and the appointment of untrained teachers in tribal areas
diminishes the values of education.
V. SUGGESTIONS
From the field study and discussion with tribes, the following suggestions are put forward for
improving educational status of tribes.
5.1 Relevantstudy materials in local languages
It is strongly suggested for use of the mother tongueor home language as medium of instruction in early stages
of education. From the perspective of language, it is desirable to have a local teacher from the same tribal
community.
5.2 Appointment of Local teachers
The acceptance of teachers by the community as one of them is critical for increasing schooling participation in
tribal areas. An understanding of and respect for tribal cultures and practices and some amount of familiarity
with the local language are important for teachers to gain this acceptance. Hence it is suggested to appoint more
tribal teachers in these areas.
5.3 Changes in perceptions and outlooks of teachers
Teachers must be sensitized to the cultural and behavioral strengths of tribal children and motivated to do their
best for them in schools. Incentives should be initiated to attract effective teachers to work in tribal schools and
to retain them there. Only such motivated teachers are likely to generate interest among tribal children towards
schools education.
5.4 Tribe specific learning arrangements
Various tribal groups in India have different cultures. Various tribes within one State differ so much from each
other in terms of ethnographic features that it is impossible to develop a learning system for them. Therefore
there is a need to have tribe specific learning arrangements which make full use of tribal culture and tribal
traditions.
5.5 Stipends and various scholarships
Hostel facilities should be provided for tribal children away from their families is usually perceived as an
additional stipend. Another important provision in the form of merit-scholarships, stipends and other attendance
scholarships should be implemented.
5.6 Residential schools
Another special educational input for tribal education is residential schools widely known as Ashram schools in
India. Since such institutions are very special efforts in the direction of tribal education and they really had
positive impact on enrolment, retention and achievement of such children. So more residential schools should be
established in tribal areas.
VI. CONCLUSION
Education is an important avenue for upgrading the economic and social conditions of the Scheduled
Tribes. This paper shows that generalizations regarding the educational and literacy attainment of tribes in
Odisha who fail to capture the differential human capital attainment of and obstacles to schooling. The cognitive
qualities of tribal children have to be viewed and evaluated taking into consideration their ecological and
cultural contexts. A related and more important lesson is that tribal children are neither culturally inferior nor
cognitively less competent than the children of other groups. A programme of schooling, which does not pay
attention to the ecological, cultural and psychological characteristics of tribal children is highly unlikely to make
any significant impact. The educational system of the dominant non-tribal population is of very limited value in
the tribal cultural milieu because it does not match with the lifestyle of individuals and the needs of the tribal
community. Linking school education with life in general and the needs of the tribal communities in particular is
a most important step that requires serious attention. Tribal children have very low levels of participation and
success in school education programmes. A clear policy for local language use in schools is necessary for
inclusive growth. Development of primers in the tribal dialect involving content from the local context will go a
long way in ensuring children’s active participation in the learning process in schools.
