CBSE’s revised bylaws say any hidden costs in school's fee structure will now lead to stringent punishment. Teams will visit and assess schools’ quality too.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.

While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Sing no praise for NCERT which has not done its job of framing NCF after 2005. We have fifteen year old policies which we are eulogizing. For some precarious reasons, best know to the masters only, NCERT has not been allowed to function in a normal way. Even CBSE is not doing its job properly except conducting an examination for 10th and 12th Class. The books published by NCERT have not been revised for the last decades. Whatever meagre education growth you can see all around you is due to the Private Publication only, whereas just see 15 year old knowledge does not work in the modern times. Ground reality cannot be caught with mere facts only.
I am an very dedicated, experienced and honest educationist looking for an platform /education department ,where I can share tried and true system based on cumulative experience. It will help all students in the classroom to learn their way. No extra investment is required.
If looking for real learning outcome in students. Kindly get in touch with me. It is first of its kind, not used in any school.
Truth lies in question paper and answer scheme or marking scheme of an entrance or competitive exam paper .
If you would see it properly you ll get the answer.
The Lords of Education NEED to reigned in but by whom. Can you ask a thief to catch a thief ? Look at the assembly lines that produce unemployable graduates , engineers, MBAs. Look at the tution factories in Kota.
sadly Not a single line or comments on biggest legalised beneficiaries i.e. Private Schools owned and/operated by minorities and mostly outside purview of State regulations.
Very well written with to the point information by no other than an insider who has seen it all. The education mafia is the right phrase although oxymoronic. I have been engaged doing social work in rural govt. Primary schools in U P and finding how pathetic is the state of children’s learning. The system is failing them, most teachers are doing a naukari for decent paycheck, there is no accountability, the state of midday meal is horrible, etc. I am afraid that even the public servants at the district level who command power, look the other way and offer just the lip service. With what I have seen in India’s education system, it is getting worse not better. Thank you.
Most of the points raised are agreeable but i beg to differ about public outrage which has been consistently happening almost in all the states across India since quite some time now against the commercialisation of education leaving it unaffordable for the less advantaged section of society at large.
The writer has praised UP for several good initiatives in the field of education to control copying, use of only NCERT books by schools etc. But media is not highlighting these. It is praiseworthy that UP is doing well to correct problems in the field of education as it the most populous state with low standard in education.
Whatever may be the ills of private schools, many / most families, including those who cannot afford them, prefer these to government / municipal schools. Unlike in the government sector – not just for education – where is there is an element of compulsion, if a private institution is not delivering a quality product, consumers are free to try out a competitor. 2. If a B Ed institution is not imparting quality education, its products are more likely to get jobs in government schools. They would face a genuine, searching interview in a private school.
There was a time in India where education was not a business and was done out of pure joy, but now a days this is not the case, every school we see is in the race of who has the highest fees and who charges the most donation. We are moving towards a capitalist society where everything is measured by money. The books have become expensive and it is difficult for everyone to buy them which leads to the uneducated population of the country. Katha India is an organisation which serves education and life skills for the under privileged in the society and makes all efforts to make them independent, regardless of your age. They have many programmes for teenagers and adults which will be useful for them in their future like tailoring, bakery and fashion designing. With schools in slum areas they caters kids from the age of 2. Check out their website and get inspired.
All the points raised by writer may be correct but private education is still better than government institutions. If there is copying, it is the job of the govt outfits to control it. Governments such as of Delhi have been harassing private entrepreneurs. Instead they should concentrate on building new schools.
It is sad state of affairs and a few unscrupulous are ruining the education sector. It is not the Roch but the poor man’s child that suffers the most. Those who can’t pay hefty Pvt school fees and even after schooling are unable to hold a decent well informed conversation or perform basic literary skills. The demographic dividend might just turn into India’s worst nightmare if this continues…
