AN OVERVIEW The National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration, formerly known as the National Staff College for Educational Planners and Administrators, was established by the Government of India as an autonomous Institution on December 31, 1970, on the recommendation of the Education Commission (196^-66) and the 'Working Party on Educational Planning, Administration and Evaluation' of the Planning Commission (1969). The Institute was originally registered on December 31, 1970 as National Staff College for Educational Planners and Administrators and again on May 31, 1979 under Its new name, under the Registration of Societies Act (Act XXI of 1860). SIXTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1980-85) OF NIEPA The Perspective Plan of the Institute, drawn up in the context of the goals envisaged In the Sixth Five Year Plan and also keeping In view the over riding importance of the programmes like unlversallsatlon of elementary and adult education and vocationalisatlon of +2 stage proposed following directions: to concentrate training efforts in, and consolidate a few selected training programmes with a view to developing a national cadre of educational planners and administrators and to Improve capabilities in key areas of educational planning and administration; to build regional and state capabilities in the field of educational planning and administration; to build symbiotic links between the imparting and generation of knowledge; and with this end in view to strengthen basic and applied research in the sphere of educational planning and administration; to provide consultancy services in the sphere of educational planning and administration to Central as well as State Governments, Universities, Boards and other similar organizations in India, and to governments and International organizations ab r o a d ; to establish contacts and advance academic collaboration with similar Institutions in India and abroad, particularly in the countries of the Third World; to build up a good Documentation Centre where State Acts, Codes, judicial decisions and other legal documents as well as other documents on policies and programmes would be collected and kept for reference; to serve as a clearing house for the dissemination of information relating to Innovative experiences and new advances in the area of educational planning and administration; to evolve a simple and easily manageable system of national monitoring of educational development and to help the government to administer the same; and to initiate and encourage informed discussion on educational issues of national significance. The Perspective Plan constitutes a blue print for the development of Institute's activities and programmes in a phased manner some of which are likely to spill over to the Seventh Five Year Plan, During the period, the Institute has developed a wide spectrum of training and research programmes of substantial utility. A six-month Diploma Course for District Education Officers has been started and! a number of training programmes to cater to the specific needs of different states and union territories have been organised. The number and intake of the international training programmes has also increased. The major emphasis in the research has been on the applied and action-oriented

  • Language As Identity in Colonial India
    Language as Identity in Colonial India “The Indian awakening, our distinctive path to independence as Sengupta recalls, envisaged quilts of interwoven languages expressing a rich, multi-textured land- scape. British rule used tools of colonial enumeration like the census to compart- mentalize Indians into sharply separated languages and religions along Westphalian lines. Naive nationalistic unity-mongering today – Sengupta argues – inadvertently reinforces colonial compartmentalization, losing sight of that very landscape we must cherish and strengthen to achieve the uniquely Indian take-off we are des- tined for. A compelling argument.” —Prof. Probal Dasgupta, Head, Linguistics, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata “Papia Sengupta draws our attention to a very serious concern as how non-recog- nition of linguistic identity can become a source of discrimination, violence, harassment and torture. It is this action of submerging the diversity and plurality that brings in chaos and disturbance in Indian society. Her book may serve as a wakeup call to the Indian administration which is happy to forget that the stron- gest ecosystems in the world are those which are most diverse.” —Prof. Anvita Abbi (Padma Shri), Adjunct Professor, Simon Fraser University, B.C. Vancouver, Canada “Multilingualism has been a long-standing characteristic of Indian society, and its persistence during the post-colonial era is not surprising. What is surprising though is the transformation in the Indian sense of identity, the nation's self-perception, during the colonial period. Dr. Sengupta's well documented study reveals the sequential emergence of the linguistically embedded sense of identity brings home the new burden that language is brought to carry in the nation-India.

  • Faculty Newsletter Winter 2007
    California Association of Independent Schools Faculty Newsletter Winter 2007 STEPPING OUTSIDE THE KNOWN INSIDE: What I Did This Summer, Or Practice What You Preach Finding Mr. Potato Head Differentiated Instruction Makes a Difference Meditating on Mindfulness ...and more Faculty Newsletter Winter 2007 From the Editor robably “risk-takers” is not the first phrase we would use in describing ourselves and our profession. Rob Evans PP (Family Matters and The Human Side of Change), a former teacher himself, once compared us to “artisans in [our] separate studios, “doing work that is “idiosyncratic and unpredictable,” often requiring of us a talent for “spur-of- the-moment improvisation.” Frankly, those sound like attributes of risk-takers to me. Every day we step in front of our classes, or try a new activity we are, at least to some extent, venturing into the unknown. We may not be Xtreme athletes or venture capitalists, but unpredictability, improvisation, and training our sights beyond what we know to meet the needs of our students always involves the element of risk. Each of our authors in this issue tells a story about stepping out beyond the known in some way, whether in expanding their knowledge and skills in summer professional development work, then returning to classrooms to apply (and sometime teach their colleagues!) what they’ve learned, or initiating new programs in their schools. Sometimes this means we have to go beyond our personal comfort levels, as Cynthia Crass describes in her article about learning new acting techniques; sometimes it involves a hard look at our own practice, as Laura Holmgren, also a teacher at Polytechnic School, demonstrates.

  • Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
    Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (31 October 1875 – 15 December 1950) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the first Deputy Prime Minister of India. He was an Indian barrister and statesman, a leader of the Indian National Congress and a founding father of the Republic of India who played a leading role in the country's struggle for independence and guided its integration into a united, independent nation. In India and elsewhere, he was often addressed as Sardar, which means Chief in Hindi, Urdu, and Persian. Patel was born in Gujjar family and raised in the countryside of Gujarat. He was employed in successful practice as a lawyer. He subsequently organised peasants from Kheda, Borsad, and Bardoli in Gujarat in non-violent civil disobedience against oppressive policies imposed by the British Raj, becoming one of the most influential leaders in Gujarat. He rose to the leadership of the Indian National Congress, in which capacity he organised the party for elections in 1934 and 1937 even as he continued to promote the Quit India Movement. As the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of India, Patel organised relief efforts for refugees fleeing from Punjab and Delhi and worked to restore peace across the nation. He led the task of forging a united India, successfully integrating into the newly independent nation those British colonial provinces that had been "allocated" to India. Besides those provinces that had been under direct British rule, approximately 565 self-governing princely states had been released from British suzerainty by the Indian Independence Act of 1947. Employing frank diplomacy with the expressed option to deploy military force, Patel persuaded almost every princely state to accede to India.

  • The Role of Pedagogy in Developing Life Skills
    Working Paper No. : WP 115 Skilling India: The Role of Pedagogy in Developing Life Skills Renu Gupta National Council of Applied Economic Research May 2018 1 Skilling India: The Role of Pedagogy in Developing Life Skills NCAER Working Paper Renu Gupta* Abstract In response to recent concerns expressed by Indian industry about the ‘employability’ of school and university graduates, this paper examines the role of pedagogy in developing life skills (or 21st century skills) and how these can be incorporated in the school/university curriculum. In recent curricular frameworks, life skills have been incorporated within the school curriculum by stressing the importance of inquiry and collaborative work through all subjects taught in school. The paper finds a similar emphasis in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) in India. Using classroom observations and textbook analyses, it shows that learning objectives in schools are frequently incorrect or misaligned with the NCF vision. The paper briefly touches on how the beliefs of teachers affect their classroom practices and recommends that attention should be paid to the professionalisation of teachers, as only then can students acquire skills that are relevant for the 21st century, which is what employers want. Keywords: Education, Non-cognitive Skills, Employability JEL Codes: I29, J24 * This paper benefited tremendously from discussions with Professor Jacob Tharu, who was with the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad, and Vijaya Subramaniam, who was the Vice-Principal of Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, New Delhi.

  • Moving from a Monologue to a Dialogue
    Moving from a Monologue to a Dialogue Brazilian by birth, Augusto Boal is a theatre director, writer and theorist, whose path-breaking book Theatre of the Oppressed which proposed ways of returning theatre to the people, has become a seminal text for theatre practitioners. Taking off from the work of Paolo Freire, his theatre techniques and games are now being used all over the world, including institutes of psychotherapy. In November 1991, the International Association of Theatre of the Oppressed was formed. The Indian cultural organization Jana Sanskriti, which for several years has been using Boal's ideas and methods in its own grassroots theatre work in rural Bengal, is a member. Early this year, Boal was in Calcutta for a workshop organized by this group. Theatre has a long tradition of being a medium for political intervention-a forum for criticism, analysis, satire, debate, revolutionary rhetoric, suggestions for change. Within India this tradition has always been strong, a parallel stream alongside the 'theatre as entertainment' or 'theatre as art for art's sake' schools of thought. We have several active people's theatre groups functioning at the urban, semi-urban and rural levels. These groups usually work outside the proscenium, with a kind of theatre that eschews the baggage and technology of stages, sets, lights, and elaborate costumes. Poor theatre, Alternative theatre, People's theatre, Third theatre are some of the terms used to categorize such activity, which uses human bodies and flexibility as its basic organizing principle. Call it by whichever name you like, it is theatre for change-social, cultural, economic, political.
