The papers have thematic continuity, empirical analysis, and, above all, direct policy implications. An important aspect of the book is that most of the papers highlight the problems of higher education in the broader social, political, and economic contexts. As the papers are written by experienced experts and based on rich information and proper perspective, the book is very useful to understanding our higher education system. It is useful for all those--students, teachers, researchers, planners, and administrators- -who have something to do with higher education." --Journal of Educational Planning and Administration As India's higher education system has grown, so too has the need for effective reform. This volume constitutes the first full-scale analysis of the reform efforts and the changes that have taken place in Indian higher education over the past four decades. Original essays in this book describe how some of the most interesting and innovative programs have come to fruition and analyze what occurred in certain key policy areas. Various contributors present case studies of recent developments such as the Open University, small- scale reforms, and arrangements for research and technology in universities. Others examine broader elements which shape the reality of higher education in India--financial arrangements, the complex language situation, the examination system, and problems of access to education.

Download or read book Handbook of Education Systems in South Asia written by Padma M. Sarangapani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-08-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is an important reference work in understanding education systems in the South Asia region, their development trajectory, challenges and potential. The handbook includes the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries for discussion---Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka---while also considering countries such as Myanmar and the Maldives that have considerable shared history in the region. Such a comparative perspective is largely absent within the literature given the present paucity of intra-regional interaction. South Asian education systems are viewed primarily through a development lens in terms of inequalities, challenges and responses. However, the development of modern institutions of education and the challenges that it faces requires cultural and historical understanding of indigenous traditions as well as indigenous modern thinkers and education movements. Therefore, this encompassing referenc e work covers indigenous education traditions, formal education systems, including school and preschool education, higher and professional education, education financing systems and structures, teacher education systems, addressing huge linguistic and other diversities, and marginalization within the formal education system, and pedagogy and curricula. All the countries in this region have their own unique geographical, cultural, economic and political character and histories of interest and significance, and have responded to common issues such as overcoming the colonial legacy, language diversity, or girls’ education, or minority rights in education, in uniquely different ways. The sections therefore include country-specific perspectives as far as possible to highlight these issues. Internationally renowned specialists of South Asian education systems have contributed to this important reference work, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and students of education interested in South Asia.
