India Education Report
India Education Profile Gretchen Rhines Cheney with support from Betsy Brown Ruzzi and Karthik Muralidharan National Center on Education and the Economy New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce November 2005 National Center on Education and the Economy, 2005 India Education Profile India, with more than a billion residents, has the second largest education system in the world (after China). Experts estimate that 32 percent of its current population is under the age of 15.1 But counter to the image of India as a youthful engine of economic growth where many urban-based citizens work in some of the best technology-centered jobs in the world, males in India complete just 2.9 years of schooling on average, females just 1.8 years.2 And for the small proportion who do persist through primary and secondary schooling, the quality of instruction varies widely, depending on the region of the country and whether one is enrolled in a State-supported public school or a fee-based private school. Despite the highly inefficient delivery of public services, high levels of teacher absenteeism and non-teaching activity, many Indian students remain motivated to succeed on the college entrance exams. The high level of competition for entry into the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institutes of Management and other top institutions is enough to spur millions of students to achieve at remarkably high levels, particularly in the areas of science and mathematics. The increased demand for higher education is not currently being met: only ten percent of the age cohort is actually enrolled in higher education. -

Quality in Business Education: a Study of the Indian Context
Quality in Business Education: A Study of the Indian Context Vipin Gupta, Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids, USA Kamala Gollakota, University of South Dakota, Vermilion, USA Ancheri Sreekumar, DC School of Management and Technology, Kerala, India Paper Prepared for and Presented at the Business Education and Emerging Market Economies: Trends and Prospects Conference, Technology Square, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, November 7, 2003 Abstract Recently, with the bursting of clicks as well as ethics bubbles, the credibility the business education has taken a beating. The rapid growth and proliferation of business schools, has led to the emergence of some schools having dubious quality – and business education has come under scrutiny. Outside of the US, India now trains largest number of MBAs with about 75,000 degrees annually. The Indian government has liberalized the business education market over the 1990s, resulting in a rapid growth of business schools offering programs at both undergraduate as well as graduate levels. Indian business schools have sought to replicate the US-based organizational, pedagogical, curricula, industry-interface, and academic research models, but are struggling to introduce several adaptations because of the differences in the work culture system. Therefore, it would be fruitful to investigate the challenges for enhancing the quality of business education in India. In the first section of our paper, we will describe a shift from a commerce- focus to management-focus in the popular business education in India. Thereafter, quality status of the contemporary business education in India is discussed. Subsequently, we discuss broad issues and challenges. Finally, research implications for the academic quality dialogue are highlighted. -
Open Universities: You Do Not Need a High School Diploma to Get Into University
Open Universities: You do not need a high school diploma to get into university By Carlo Ricci Abstract In this paper I hope to empower students by exposing the myth that a high school diploma is a necessary first step to getting into a post secondary institution. In what follows, I will be sharing a brief history of open universities, give an example of an open university in a specific context and celebrate its policies, and continue to challenge some more myths about the importance of a high school diploma for success in post secondary schooling. In this paper I hope to empower students by exposing the myth that a high school diploma is a necessary first step to getting into a post secondary institution. In speaking of problem posing education, Freire (1970) writes about the need to demythologize a lot of these myths. He says that it, …sets itself the task of demythologizing… regards dialogue as indispensable to the act of cognition which unveils reality… makes them critical thinkers… bases itself on creativity and stimulates true reflection and action upon reality…thereby responding to the vocation of persons as beings who are authentic only when engaged in inquiry and creative transformation. (pp. 83-84) In this spirit we need to work to transform the current schooling system, and within the scope of this paper, we need to help, join and celebrate those who are and have taken bold and revolutionary steps. 2 There are many routes that students can take to get into post secondary institutions. Among the many routes, students can enter as mature students; they can enter with SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or ACT (American College Testing Program) scores; they can take just the prerequisite courses that universities deem to be necessary for students to enter; and they can enter by applying to open universities. -
Perception of Open University Students on the Problems of Distance Education Applications
A DIAGNOSTIC STUDY OF OPEN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF DISTANCE EDUCATION APPLICATION Assist.Prof.Dr. Senay NARTGUN Abant Izzet Baysal University Faculty of Education Department of Educational Sciences Golkoy, BOLU, TURKEY ABSTRACT Distance education is regarded as one of the means for educating people who have not had formal education chance or who have not preferred the formal education. Distance education, on the other hand, is quite difficult and requires the fulfillment of various conditions. When the applications of distance education are examined, it is seen that it provides one way communication and the students have various problems. The aim of this study, within this framework, is to examine the perceptions of Open University students in relation to the problems of distance education applications. The subjects of this study are the Open Faculty students (n=45) who attend to Open Faculty courses provided by Abant Izzet Baysal University. The data were collected through interviews. The results indicated that i) they preferred mostly the open learning as they worked at different offices, ii) they pointed out that most of the university and faculty students had positive attitudes towards them. However, they reported that i) they had difficulty in studying by themselves, ii) had some problems as open learning faculty students and iii) they believed they would have problems in finding a job in the future. Keywords: Distance Education; Educational Demands; Perception; Off- Campus Student BACKGROUND Regardless of the development level of societies there exists always, high or low, demand for education. The total of individual education demands refers to societal demand for education though demand for education differs in line with the individual demands (Unal, 1996).
