  • The Direction and Condition of Modern Education in Bihar Niraj
    ISSN: 2456–4397 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/68067 Vol-5* Issue-6* September-2020 Anthology : The Research The Direction and Condition of Modern Education in Bihar Paper Submission: 15/09/2020, Date of Acceptance: 26/09/2020, Date of Publication: 27/09/2020 Abstract The State of Bihar is one of the major hubs of learning in the country of India. Since long back, this state has been a centre of education. Presently, a huge gap got created in between the demand of education and supply. This gap between the school education and higher education has brought the literacy rate of the state a bit down. This signifies the importance of establishment of more schools in the field of modern education. This craving for higher education among the general population of Bihar has led to a migration of the student community from the state. This has led to a flooding of students to seek educational opportunities in other state, even for graduation level college education. Patna has become an educational hub for the Eastern India. It is an important centre for preparation of exam like IIT, IAS, Engineering and Medical entrance. The quality education of schools is better in Patna than New Delhi. But Bihar still lacks behind in Higher Education. We need an initiative from educational ministry of Bihar to take proper step in opening technical institutes for students of Bihar which will help them to stay in their state and also attracts students from different states. If we all work toward these steps, we will see a rise in education system of Bihar which will be very fruitful for betterment of Bihar and its people.

  • Growth of Education in Odisha During Colonial Rule
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention (IJHSSI) ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 7 Issue 12 Ver. III ||December 2018 || PP 13-15 Trends of Educational Development in Colonial Odisha from 1866 to 1947: A Retrospective Umakanta Nayak, Senior Lecturer in History, Simulia College, Markona Balasore, Odisha Research Scholar, Fakir Mohan University, Balasore ABSTRACT: In ancient times, India had the Gurukul system of education in which anyone who wished to study went to a teacher's (Guru) house and requested to be taught. If accepted as a student by the guru, he would then stay at the guru's place and help in all activities at home. This not only created a strong tie between the teacher and the student, but also taught the student everything about running a house. The guru taught everything the child wanted to learn, from Sanskrit to the Holy Scriptures and from Mathematics to Metaphysics. All learning was closely linked to nature and to life, and not confined to memorizing some information. The modern school system was brought to India, including the English language, originally by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 1830s. The curriculum was confined to “modern” subjects such as science and mathematics, and subjects like metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary. Teaching was confined to classrooms and the link with nature was broken, as also the close relationship between the teacher and the student. This drawbacks of modern education system should be clearly understood and necessary rectification should be introduced. The purpose of the study is to point out the merits of the old education system and the defects of the English education which is continuing till now.

    NIPFP Working paper series NIPFP Working Working paper Paper series No. 201 Resource requirements for Right to Education (RTE): Normative and the Real No. 201 09-Dec-2017 Sukanya Bose, Priyanta Ghosh and Arvind Sardana National Institute of Public Finance and Policy New Delhi Accessed at http://nipfp.org.in/publications/working-papers/1773 Page 1 Working Paper No. 201 Resource requirements for Right to Education (RTE): Normative and the Real1 Sukanya Bose, Priyanta Ghosh and Arvind Sardana Abstract The paper examines the issue of resource adequacy for Right to Education (RTE) by estimating the resource requirement for universalization of elementary education across twelve Indian States. Using RTE norms as the base, a framework for estimating school and system level resource requirements is laid down. Apart from the official norms, framing of the normative must necessarily take into account the present structure of schools including the pattern of enrolment in government schools vis-à-vis private schools, existing infrastruc- ture in these schools, school size etc. Database of school-level information has been used for the purpose. Actual budgetary expenditure presents the distance from the normative. The results indicate that even with minimal norms, there is a vast amount of under- spending by governments. Except in the case of Tamil Nadu, the required expenditure per student is short of the normative requirement. In States like Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, not only is the requirement many times the present levels of expenditure, the burden of additional requirement falls disproportionately on these poorer States. The present set of policy interventions and inter-governmental resource sharing arrangements fail to adequately address the specific resource needs of these States for fulfilling the basic entitlement.

I Introduction: Education in all forms leads to individual freedom and empowerment; it yields significant societal development gains and makes an individual self-reliant. It has been seen as the foundational for the society, enabling economic & human wealth, social prosperity, and political stability. (Chandrappa 2014). In India, the education system consists of primary, secondary, and higher education. The contribution of primary education to socio- economic development is significant, and it is the backbone of the entire education system. The quality of primary education has its value; it provides a literate workforce; on the other, it works as a feeder for the following stages of education. Therefore, the progress and development of a nation depend directly on the quality of primary education,lack of proper physical infrastructure facility,the inadequacy of teachersstrength and training,poor administration, low quality of teachers, and gross disinterest in the activities of the school are among many reasons cited in the literature for the poor quality of primary education.

  • Report of Common School System
    Report of the Submitted on 8 June 2007 Government of Bihar Patna Dedication We Dedicate this Report to the Children of Bihar (Dr. Madan Mohan Jha) (Prof. Anil Sadgopal) (Prof. Muchkund Dubey) Member-Secretary Member Chairperson Common School System Commission Govt. of Bihar Patna 8-6-2007 Dear Shri Nitish Kumarji, It is a pleasure and honour for me to submit herewith the Report of the Bihar Common School System Commission. My colleagues in the Commission join me in expressing our profound gratitude to you for the trust you reposed in us and the personal interest you took in our work. In fact, the Commission was the product of your vision and initiative. 2. Included in our Report is a near complete blueprint of a Common School System in Bihar, which will universalise school education up to Class X, provide 70 percent transition from Class X to the Senior Secondary level and, as mandated under Article 21A of the Constitution, ensure free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. In our scheme of the Common School System, the children in the age group of 5 to 6 years will also receive free and compulsory pre- elementary education. 3. As mandated, we have established in considerable details the Norms and Standards of the Common School System, determined the unit cost of all the elements which have gone into these Norms and Standards and calculated the financial implications of the Common School System. 4. We have also examined several other problems and issues, some of which were specifically included in our terms of reference, relating to the school education in Bihar and have made suggestions and recommendations for dealing with them within the overall framework of the Common School System.
