Anshika Singh, Masters in Corporate Communication Management 3rd Semester, 2016-18, Banaras Hindu University.
The Indian school education system is one of the largest and most complex in the world. The complexity of the system stems from India’s need to maintain standard and uniformity while giving scope for its diverse culture and heritage to grow and flourish across the length and breadth of the country. After independence, India has worked hard to provide access to almost all its young people, but it has only just begun to focus on aspects of quality and seek to improve learning outcomes.
Present Education System :
The present system of education was introduced and founded by the British in the 20th century, by the recommendations of Macaulay.
It has a western style and content.
The British Govt. did not recognize the traditional structures and so they have declined.
It is said that even Gandhi described the traditional educational system as a beautiful tree which was destroyed during the British rule.
EDUCATION FOR ALL:
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is Government of India's flagship programme for achievement of Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) in a time bound manner, as mandated by 86th amendment to the Constitution of India making free and compulsory Education as a Fundamental Right.
Right to education:
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE), is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted on 4 August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21a of the Indian Constitution. India became one of 135 countries to make education a fundamental right of every child when the Act came into force on 1 April 2010.

Education in India - The Sunshine SectorDeepak Pareek
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”
Despite remarkable progress over the last decade towards the Inclusive Development, India’s achievements are threatened by various social challenges major being Poverty.
Education is both a right, and a route out of poverty - it is an investment in our common future.
Education contributes to social stability - equipping and empowering citizens to address the underlying drivers of poverty, i.e. conflict and fragility.
Indian Education System - Understanding the FaultlinesBal Utsav
As India inches towards celebrating her 70th year of Independence, here is a ready reckoner to understand the fault lines that exist in the Indian Education System to enable those who want to know more about what needs to be done for the nations children in Government Schools
This contain the all the flaws and the solution of our education system and as well as the history of our education system where it comes form and where it goes.
The education sector in India is poised to witness major growth in the years to come as India will have world’s largest tertiary-age population and second largest graduate talent pipeline globally by the end of 2020. Currently, higher education contributes 59.7 percent of the market size, school education 38.1 percent, pre-school segment 1.6 percent, and technology and multi-media the remaining 0.6 percent. India’s IT firms are working with academic institutions and setting up in-house institutes to groom the right talent as these companies move to Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud technologies.
The total amount of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) inflow into the education sector in India stood close to US$ 1,300 million from April 2000 to March 2016, according to data released by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
The education sector has seen a host of reforms and improved financial outlays in recent years that could possibly transform the country into a knowledge haven. With human resource increasingly gaining significance in the overall development of the country, development of education infrastructure is expected to remain the key focus in the current decade. In this scenario, infrastructure investment in the education sector is likely to see a considerable increase in the current decade

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.

12. India’s Education Landscape : Current Policy and Program Regime
12
• The RTE Act has been instrumental in catalyzing the progress by setting
out key implementation targets in terms of:
Increasing
enrollments
Reducing
the number
of Out of
School
Children
Increasing
teachers with
professional
qualifications
Improving school
facilities
like drinking water,
library, toilets,
computers,
classrooms, and
playgrounds, etc
Ensuring
limited
drop-outs
• However, the current focus and emphasis is majorly targeted towards
enrollment numbers and improving infrastructure standards of schools.
Key Concern : Loss of focus on providing quality education
The ability to reach under privileged segments of the society with quality education that will
impart equal education opportunities for all sections of the society is yet to be achieved.
13. Global Practices (1/4)
13
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : Developed Nation
• In USA, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), 1965, envisions equal
opportunities for quality education to children and provides for grants to states for
improving the quality of K-12 education. The ESEA was re-authorized several times after its
enactment, the most recent being the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, 2002.
• Key features of NCLB, which distinguishes it from India’s RTE Act:
o Stress on Learning Outcomes in Mathematics and Reading:
NCLB mandates states to test students annually for Mathematics and Reading in
Classes 3 to 8 and once in Class 10 to 12, and for Science: the students will be
tested once in Standard 3 to 5, 6 to 8 and 10 to 12.
o Mandate on Information Dissemination and Awareness:
It is mandatory for states, individual schools and school districts to publish the test
results publicly in the aggregate as well as for specific students’ subgroups. NCLB
empowers parents by making it compulsory for states and local school districts to
disseminate information to parents on how their student and the schools is
performing in the form of annual school report cards. Parents are also given the right
under NCLB to be informed about the qualification of their child’s teacher.
14. Global Practices (2/4)
14
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : Developed Nation
o Strict guidelines and action plans with timelines for schools to
meet targets:
NCLB has strict guidelines for schools for meeting the target of
adequate yearly progress (AYP) chosen by the state with options
such as school improvement / school transfer, corrective action,
restructuring defined.
o Rewards and recognition for high performing schools and
teachers:
NCLB requires states to award schools that meet or exceed the
achievement goals. States may also use funds to reward teachers in
such schools. Schools that have made the greatest achievement
gains are designated as ‘distinguished schools’ by states.
15. National Practices (3/4)
Rajasthan : Example from States
Rajasthan was never considered to be
educationally forward state, but due to following
initiatives the picture has changed:
• Consolidation of 17000 elementary schools with
Secondary schools.
• Planned to create Secondary School in every
Panchayat
• Proper and transparent transfer system.
• Pre paid transport vouchers to the students.
• Creation of Online repository of teaching
materials.
16. • No thrust on Quality & Upgradation
• Competition after Post Liberalization
• Failed to meet the demands of the parents
• Poor Human Resource Management
• Choice of Teaching- A Last Option
• Low Technological Initiatives
• No Detention Policy
• Budget Allocations
