  • Glass Ceiling Practices with Working Woman in Educational Sector at Bhavnagar Region.”
    KCG- Portal of Journals Continuous issue-16 | January - April 2016 “GLASS CEILING PRACTICES WITH WORKING WOMAN IN EDUCATIONAL SECTOR AT BHAVNAGAR REGION.” INTRODUCTION: The foundation of every nation is the education of its youth. Education is provided by public sector as well as private sector in India. Our Constitution also provides the equal opportunities to the man and woman to get the education without any kind of discrimination. Most universities in India are controlled by Union or State government. According to the Census of 2011, "every person above the age of 7 years who can read and write in any language is said to be literate". According to this criterion, the 2011 survey holds the National Literacy Rate to be around 74.07%. Government statistics of 2001 also hold that the rate of increase in literacy is more in rural areas than in urban areas. Female literacy was at a national average of 65% whereas the male literacy was 82%. Within the Indian states, Kerala has shown the highest literacy rates of 93% whereas Bihar averaged 63.8% literacy. The 2001 statistics also indicated that the total number of 'absolute non-literates' in the country was 304 million. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF GLASS CEILING: According to Pearl S. Buck, became the first American Women Writer Nobel Prize Winner Literature, “Let woman out of home, let man into it, should be the aim of the education. The home needs man and the world outside needs woman.” Glass Ceiling refers to transparent but real barriers, based on discriminatory attitudes or organizational bias, that impede qualified individuals, including (but not limited to) women, racial and ethnic minorities, and disabled persons from advancing into management positions.

  • Working Paper No. 150 Schools and Schooling in Tribal Gujarat
    Working Paper No. 150 Schools and Schooling in Tribal Gujarat: The Quality Dimension B.L. Kumar Gujarat Institute of Development Research Gota, Ahmedabad 380 060 November 2004 Abstract With the help of school and household survey undertaken in an Integrated Tribal Development Project Area, this study attempts to look into issues related to access, enrolment, retention and quality of education in tribal areas of Gujarat. The school survey results show that predominantly tribal villages have better access to school. Average number of schools per village works out to 1:62. This is not a bad average, but single or two teacher schools are most prevalent. The functioning of schools is poor due to absence and irregular attendance of teachers. Moreover, many schools lack minimum facilities such as drinking water, toilets, library etc. Multi-grade teaching is a common feature and low level of learner’s achievements speaks a lot about the quality of teaching in these schools. Ashram schools envisaged to be an ideal alternative for sparsely populated tribal habitations, have also failed to deliver the goods. The coverage of Ashram schools is limited in terms of total enrolment and quality of teaching in these schools is not very much different than those of formal schools. The household survey reveals that notwithstanding, massive expansion of primary schools, a large number of tribal children are still out of schools, both for economic and social reasons. Moreover, implementation of various educational incentive schemes was also found to be poor, both in terms of coverage as well as quality of benefit received by the tribal children.

    Journal of Alternative Perspective s in the Social Sciences (2011 ) V ol 3, No 3, 721 -742 Poor Education for Poor: Can Vouchers Be the Answer in Gujarat, India Ramesh Makwana , Associate Professor, Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, (Gujarat, India) Abstract: Education and its relationship with livelihood, quality of life, increased earning and social mobility are well recognized for developing countries. Education is an important factor for inequality reduction and for overall development. In India many reforms in the field of primary public schools in forms of curriculum, coverage, training and infrastructure have been initiated by the government in the last two decades. Today government provides funds to schools. These schools then provide education to students. The voucher system provides funding to the student who then approaches any of the schools for education. A voucher is only a form of financial assistance. Voucher programs have been implemented in different forms in countries as diverse as Sweden, Chile, Columbia, Holland, USA, UK, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Czech Republic and Cote d’Irovie. There has been an increase in the quantitative indicators like parental satisfaction increase of test scores and learning outcomes of students, improved performance of public schools and increase in enrolment etc. The present attempts to improve quality of Public Schools Via-a Vis Private Schools are not delivering significant result as quality of public schools and for that matter any public service depends, among other factors significantly pressure and effective demand of the people. In this paper, privatization is not discussed directly except in reference to vouchers. Rather it is contended that privatization with poor quality public schools is increasing SES (Socio- Economic Segration).
