1) An Indian Education Service (IES) should be established as an all
India service with officers being on permanent settlement to the state
governments but with the cadre controlling authority vesting with the
Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry.
2) The outlay on education should be raised to at least 6% of GDP
without further loss of time.
3) There should be minimum eligibility condition with 50% marks at
graduate level for entry to existing B.Ed courses. Teacher Entrance
Tests (TET) should be made compulsory for recruitment of all
teachers. The Centre and states should jointly lay down norms and
standards for TET.
4) Compulsory licensing or certification for teachers in government
and private schools should be made mandatory, with provision for
renewal every 10 years based on independent external testing.
5) Pre-school education for children in the age group of 4 to 5 years
should be declared as a right and a programme for it implemented
immediately.

13. Subramanian Committee on NEP 2016
6) The no detention policy must be continued for young children until
completion of class V when the child will be 11 years old. At the upper
primary stage, the system of detention shall be restored subject to the
provision of remedial coaching and at least two extra chances being offered
to prove his capability to move to a higher class
7) On-demand board exams should be introduced to offer flexibility and
reduce year end stress of students and parents. A National Level Test open
to every student who has completed class XII from any School Board should
be designed.
8) The mid-day meal (MDM) program should now be extended to cover
students of secondary schools. This is necessary as levels of malnutrition
and anaemia continue to be high among adolescents.
9) UGC Act must be allowed to lapse once a separate law is created for the
management of higher education. The University Grants Commission (UGC)
needs to be made leaner and thinner and given the role of disbursal of
scholarships and fellowships.
10) Top 200 foreign universities should be allowed to open campuses in
India and give the same degree which is acceptable in the home country of
the said university.
