  • Open Educational Resources
    C O L AND DISTANCE LEARNING AND DISTANCE PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN C O L PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING PERSPECTIVES ON OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: AN ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Higher education has experienced phenomenal growth in all parts of Asia over the last two decades — from the Korean peninsula in the east to the western borders of Central Asia. This expansion, coupled with a diversity of delivery and technology options, has meant that more and more young Asians are experiencing tertiary education within their own countries. Open Educational Resources: An Asian Perspective Open Educational Resources: In South, South East and Far East Asia especially, universities, polytechnics, colleges and training institutes with a variety of forms, structures, academic programmes and funding provisions have been on an almost linear upward progression. Notwithstanding this massive expansion, equitable access is still a challenge for Asian countries. There is also concern that expansion will erode quality. The use of digital resources Open Educational is seen as one way of addressing the dual challenges of quality and equity. Open educational resources (OER), free of licensing encumbrances, hold the promise of equitable access to knowledge and learning. However, the full potential of OER is only realisable with greater Resources: An Asian knowledge about OER, skills to effectively use them and policy provisions to support their establishment in Asian higher education. This book, the result of an OER Asia research project hosted and implemented by the Wawasan Perspective Open University in Malaysia, with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre, brings together ten country reports and ten case studies on OER in the Asian region that highlight typical situations in each context.

  • IJESM Volume 3, Issue 4 ISSN
    November 2011 IJRSS Volume 1, Issue 2 ISSN: 2249-2496 Existence, Non-Recognition and Denial: The Case of Other Backward Classes Anjaiah S* Abstract If Nehru promised certain safeguards for the backward classes in the Objectives Resolution, the constitution did not contain any rights for them. What is the mandate of the Article 340? Is it to identify the shudras or the left out dalits from the purview of reservation is one of the big conundrums. What should be the criterion to identify is also another dilemma. Should caste alone sufficient? Should class also be utilised is another matter. The Congress and its complete neglect of the backward classes is due to the concept of “coalition of extreme” strategy adopted by it. That is the reason why the Congress has ignored the first backward classes commission and second backward classes commission reports. But with the rise of the BJP and earlier Janata party the backward classes and their numbers have become very important. In the process BJP has made the Congress party to also gain the support of the backward classes. Keywords: Phule Ambedkar Article 340 Kalelkar Mandal Census Reservations Introduction After India got independence the question of sharing of power and representation began. There were various sections demanding for their due share in the pie of power. The makers of the Indian Constitution compensated the grievances of various sections of Indian society like dalits,adivasis and minorities. But if there was one section of society which never got anything from the constitution, it was backward classesi. The social nomenclature of this group is called the Shudras in Indian society.Shudras in Manusmriti were subjected to all kind of handicaps and humiliations and within Hinduism they have been the worst victims of caste system.

  • Different Commissions and Their Recommendations 1
    Different Commissions and their Recommendations 1. Sarkaria Commission ➢ The agitation for State autonomy led to the creation of the Sarkaria Commission by the Central Government to recommend changes in Centre-State relationship. ➢ The Commission submitted its report in 1988. ➢ The founding fathers of the Indian Constitution were deeply concerned about ensuring the unity and integrity of the country. ➢ They were aware of the forces of disruption and disunity working within the country. ➢ These dangers at the time of independence could be handled only by a strong government at the Centre. ➢ Therefore, the framers of the Constitution assigned a predominant role to the Centre. ➢ At the same time, they made provisions for the establishment of co-operative federalism. ➢ The working of the Indian federation during the last five decades clearly shows that the relations between the Centre and the States have not always been cordial. ➢ The Administrative Reforms Commission and several other Commissions were appointed by the Government of India from time to time to regulate Centre-State relations. ➢ The Union Government appointed the Sarkaria Commission to suggest ways and means improve Centre-State relations. ➢ The clamour for more autonomy led to the constitution of the Sarkaria Commission in 1983 which was asked to examine and review existing arrangements between the Centres and the States in all spheres and recommend appropriate changes and measures. ➢ An extraordinary situation, the need to defeat the emergency regime of Indira Gandhi, brought them together. ➢ With the return of the Congress party under Indira Gandhi’s leadership with a secure majority, the movements for state autonomy slowly receded in the background.

  • The Relevance of Curriculum to Socio-Economic Needs
    THE RELEVANCE OF CURRICULUM TO SOCIO-ECONOMIC NEEDS. A CASE STUDY OF INDIA. By Sheilah D. Hazarika Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Institute of Education. 1989. Department of International and Comparative Education. ABSTRACT. "THE RELEVANCE OF CURRICULUM TO SOCIO-ECONOMIC NEEDS: A CASE STUDY OF INDIA." This thesis is an analysis of the relevance of curriculum, especially school curriculum to socio-economic needs. After an Introduction which is Chapter I, Chapter II identifies from the Kothari the Education Commission 1964-1966 an interpretation of the socio-economic needs of India, the role of education, and how curriculum might contribute to development.The thesis argues that the theoretical position adopted by this Commission is understandable within the paradigm of "modernization" theory. The Kothari Commission's position and educational recommendations are analysed within a framework developed by Bill Williamson in his book Education. Social Structure and Development. In Chapters III and IV the various problems in education and development are analysed through the categories of relevance, equality and balance identified by Williamson which leads to some contrast and comparison with the theory positions adopted by the Kothari Commission. Chapters Five, Six and Seven continue the analysis by assessing the relationship between socio-economic development and education in historical context (Chapter V); in terms of major curriculum policies (Chapter VI); and in terms of selected curriculum practice (Chapter VII). The organizing theme running through the analysis relates to whether Indian education might be understood specifically in terms 2 of 'dependency' as identified by Williamson, and how far India fits within concepts of a 'Dependent Society' pattern.
