At Bristol University, we consider education the means to met the needs of today's changing workforce in the United States and the world. Through quality higher education delivered by highly-qualified professors, our students will become the successful skilled professionals of tomorrow.
Bristol University does not consider that education has to be expensive. On the contrary, education should be accessible to everyone everywhere. We are proud to have, in our student body, students from different parts of the world who have decided to either pursue education online or travel to the United States as international students. We have student athletes who strive to excel at their sport of choice and, at the same time, study hard to educate themselves to have better futures.
Education is not only the past and present of the society; it plays a major role in structuring the future of the society.
With this in mind, we introduce our latest edition on “India’s 10 Best Universities for 2018”.

The higher education market in India accounts for a substantial share of the total education in India. This segment is estimated to be worth INR 6.5 bn and is expected to be growing at 12% per annum. This space has seen large scale public and private participation. The government has undertaken various initiatives towards developing the market. The growth in the student population is fuelling growth in this sector.
The report begins with an introduction to the higher education industry covering the various regulatory bodies and councils that exist in this space including their functions with respect to specific courses. The overview section indicates the market size and growth of the higher education sector and institutions in this space as well as information regarding market segmentation. The intake of students across India for various courses has also been mentioned. The current scenario in India has been discussed covering the fundamental shortcomings in the market, low gross enrolment ratio, low public spending, not-for-profit mandate of the government and the approach adopted by private players, lack of co-operation between public and private sector and lack of large players in the market.
The key initiatives of the government identified include the introduction of National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER), Foreign Educational Institutions Bill of 2007, provisions for higher education under the 11th Five Year Plan and passing of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill. An analysis of the drivers explains growth factors such as growing middle class with the ability to afford a private education, India’s demographic advantages, poor perception towards alternative education streams, growing private players due to large demand-supply gap and expenditure on foreign education.
The competition section highlights the major private players including their business focus and expansion plans.

This paper was released by Devesh Kapur, University of Pennsylvania and Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Centre for Policy Research.
This paper analyzes two interrelated facets of Higher Education policy in India: the key distortions in higher education policies and what explains them. It first sets the stage by laying out the principal conceptual issues that need to be considered when thinking about an appropriate policy framework for higher education in India. It then examines three key distortions in Indian higher education with regards to markets, the state and civil society (philanthropy). The next part of the paper examines the political economy of Indian higher (tertiary) education and seeks to explain the ideological and political underpinnings of these distortions and how they work in practice. We conclude with some indicative some policy directions for Indian higher education. The purpose of this exercise is not to make detailed policy recommendations, but rather to flag the kinds of issues that ought to be addressed.
The key argument of this section of the paper is twofold. The first is that higher education in India is being de facto privatized on a massive scale.2 But this privatization is not a result of changing preferences of the key actors—the state, the judiciary or India’s propertied classes. Rather, this privatization has resulted from a breakdown of the state system. As a result, it is a form of privatization in which ideological and institutional underpinnings remain very weak. Instead of being part of a comprehensive program of education reform, much of the private initiative remains hostage to the discretionary actions of the state. Consequently, the education system remains suspended between over-regulation by the state on the one hand, and a discretionary privatization that is unable to mobilize private capital in productive ways. Any policy intervention, if it is to succeed will have to change this political economy equilibrium. However, vicious circles of interest will impede reform, whether of public or private institutions. We focus on the political economy not just because it explains the current regulatory regime. This political economy also explains why even conceptualization of issues in Higher Education is likely to remain distorted for some time.
This presentation examines the structure of higher education in India and the mechanisms of its regulation. It also captures future trends of Indian higher education.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

Advisor, OCFS,
Karnataka State Higher Education Council (KSHEC),
Bengaluru,
November 2016
1NRK
2. OCFS was established during last September 2015 with an
agenda to internationalization of Higher Education in Karnataka.
The attached power point presentation will provide a general
view of the current activity. All the Universities in Karnataka need
to work towards internationalization as there are many benefits
to the state. The opportunities include enhanced capacity,
greater access, joint curricula, greater diversity of courses,
exposure to a variety of teaching and learning methods, growing
comparability of qualifications, student mobility, exposure to
established systems of education administration and
management, less brain drain of gifted students, fusion of
cultures, exchange of research ideas and enhanced research
capacity, multinational and cross-disciplinary teams and the
generation of new academic environments.
The challenges and risks concern quality of provision, high fees
leading to elitist provision and inequality of access leading to a
two-tier system which is inconsistent with the equity and access
drivers of the state’s education policy.
NRK 2
3. One of the suggestion of OCFS is for Creating ‘education hubs ‘or Centres of
Excellences (CoEs) strategically in Bengaluru and allowing reputable overseas
institutions/universities to establish a presence in India, through joint initiatives
(with any local university) in curriculum design and delivery, branch campuses,
train the trainer initiatives and joint research and scholarly activities could help
build capacity, reduce the imbalance in student mobility and attract significant
export earnings. The number of overseas students, which is less than 1 % of the
total number of students in higher education in Karnataka, is miniscule when
compared to 21.4% enrolled in Australia and 19.5% in the United Kingdom (2015
data).
China, a relatively new entrant in attracting international students, has
approximately 330,000 international students with a target of 500,000 by 2020.
Singapore with 90,000 international students and Malaysia with a target of
200,000 by 2020 have also become strong international education destinations.
Our objective for Universities is to see how we can build capacity, increase access,
encourage research capability, enhance quality and encourage diversity (source IIE
New York).
All universities in the state must define its higher education objectives to be both
globally and locally relevant in order to benefit from increased global student
mobility and growing internationalization and globalisation. Karnataka has all the
potential and a clear higher education franchise promotion would bring in benefits
in higher education.

education in Karnataka as part of our Overseas Centre for Foreign Students (OCFS)
under the Karnataka State Higher Education Council (KSHEC).
The theme of the workshop was to examine capacity building for Global Learning
through shared commitment of the higher education sector to encourage peer to peer
research, student mobility and encourage innovation. Known resource persons/Experts
were invited from Pune, Chandigarh, New Delhi and Bengaluru to conduct the 4
working sessions on the advantages of internationalization.
The workshop also explored opportunities for our universities in study, joint
research/avenues, network services, mobility issues, networking and exploring strategic
academic alliances with overseas universities.
It addressed such issues as the institutional developments to maximize learning,
improved course delivery methods, pedagogy application oriented curriculum designs,
sharing of best practices across the globe. The audiences, including Consul Generals of
various countries based in Bengaluru (265 nos) have been sensitized to this new
concept of Internationalization and its latent benefits.

We would like to go selectively and approach by identifying a few high
quality select institutions abroad and invite them to come to India, to
share teaching and research experience with Indian students and
faculty.
Also, such institutions will be provided a conductive atmosphere to
examine and set up joint venture academic alliances, joint degree
programs.
Our Universities will be provided additional required support in this
regard, to facilitate, inter alia, student and faculty exchanges with the
Overseas Joint partner University.

18. OCFS/KSHEC will take active part next year in the Bharatiya Pravasi Divas in Bengaluru
scheduled to take place during January 2017. We invite all our dignitaries present here
as well as the Indian diaspora to visit Bengaluru for this program.
We have written letters to receive Academic delegation from Overseas Minister of
Higher Education and work out specific action plans for bilateral cooperation in higher
education in Karnataka.
We have recently written to our Ambassadors in South East Asian (ASEAN) countries,
Oceania, MHRD & MEA to promote OCFS Karnataka. The response have been very
positive.
Our Higher Education and OCFS brochures have been circulated to about 60 Embassy’s
in New Delhi and about 100 organisations across India to sensitize them on the latent
potential of Higher Education in Karnataka.
Thank you all.
