2. Vision 2020, as the topic itself tempts and
makes us imagine our Country’s growth by
2020. This vision in our country encompasses a
wide range of sectors from technology to
infrastructure, health care to education,
environmental issues to entertainment, proves
how even the most sizeable problems can be
solved by exercising bold, ambitious measures.
If these measures are taken into seriously, then
undoubtedly we can transform our motherland
a harmonious place to live in. This is in fact
every true Indian’s dream.
8. 25% - ILLITERATE.
7% - GRADUTE.
15% - MANAGE TO GET INTO HIGHER EDUCATION.
WHY THEEDUCATIONIS GIVENLESSIMPORTANCEIN INDIA?
80% of schools are managed by the government. Private
schools are expensive and out of reach of the poor.
More hands to earn remains the mentality amongst many
families and therefore little kids are set out to fend for the
family over going to school to garner an adequate education,
in the most literal sense of the word.
Infrastructure facilities at schools across rural areas and in
slums dispense very poor quality of education.
The teachers are not well qualified and therefore not well
paid and therefore are not willing to work hard enough.
CHALLENGES FOR THE
INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
11. PPP THE BEST MODEL FOR VISION
2020 EDUCATION:
An educated and enlightened generation shall be
the greatest asset of any nation. It is with this
vision that the Government of India is giving
much importance to the policies related to
educational sector. The Right to Education Act
which has been implemented and basic education
has been included under the fundamental rights
are the results of these reforms. Latest among
them is the plans for setting up schools under the
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
13. PPP is often described as a privateinvestment where two
parties comprising Government as well as a private
sector undertaking form a partnership.
Many of the features which cannot be possessed by the
government schools can be maintained by a private
school. But, the fees charged by the private schools may
not be affordableto all classesof people.
Public Private Partnership is formed with the objective
of blending these two features to a common end and
thereby attains the vision of educational inclusion,
expenditure and the functional efficiency, organizational
hierarchy and accountability of a private set up make it
different from other school categories. Though there can
be drawbacks and difficulties for this model, in our
Indian set up it is much suitable and adaptable.
PPP model help to set up more number of schools by
partnering in capital tools and then welcome the new model
schools for our kids.
14. PPPs can increase access and improve quality in
education in a number of ways:
(i) By allowing school choice.
(ii) By putting competitive pressure on private
schools to remain in the market.
(iii) By making school operations more flexible.
(iv) By setting quality-driven output specifications.
(v) By ensuring an optimal level of risk sharing
between the public and private sector.
15. 1) TAX BREAK – CORPORATE / PVT SECTOR.
2) CORPORATE SECTOR – EARMARK INVESTMENT.
3) IMPROVE OUTLAY OF EDUCATION.
4) VOCATIONAL EDUCATION NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED
WITH INDUSTRY REQUIREMENTS.
Apart fromppp the following needs to be done at earliest for
becoming developed nationin terms of education:
16. TYPES OF PARTNERSHIP FEATURES
Traditional and Design build The Government contracts with a private partner to
design and build a facility to specific requirements.
Operations and Maintenance The Government contracts with a private partner to
operate a publicly owned facility
Turnkey operation The Government provides financing, the private
partner designs, constructs, and operates facility for a
specified time period, while the public partner retains
ownership of facility.
Lease-Purchase The private partner leases a facility to the
government for a specified time period, after which
ownership is vested with government.
Lease or own develop-
operate
The private partner leases or buys a facility from the
government and develops and operates the facility
under contract to the government for a specified time
period.
Build-operate-transfer The private partner obtains an exclusive contract to
finance, build, operate, maintain, manage, and collect
user fees for a facility for a fixed period to amortize its

20. GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING
MODELS IN CASE OF PPP:
Basic Infrastructure Model
Outsourcing Model
Equity/Hybrid Model
Reverse Outsourcing Model
22. STRENGTH WEAKNESS
Few globally renowned educational
institutions
48% drop outs at elementary level mainly
because of socio-economic reasons.
Social disparity which was very high till 90’s
has been reduced significantly.
Low PTR and absenteeism.
348 universities, 17625 colleges, > 500,000,
10.5 million students.
Pratham’s ASER survey: 60% of children
aged 7 to 12 find it difficult in reading a
simple Para.
Professional education in English Medium The position of Indian universities is
consistently falling. According to recent
report India is no where ranked among 100
best universities in the world.
Huge demand for Indian students in
overseas market.
Above all education is up for sale now a
days.
23. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
Unsaturated demand for quality education. The global effects challenge the traditional
ideas of the Indian academic institutions as
well as to the national and even institutional
control of education.
To meet the global challenges with greater
accountability to main stakeholders –
students- in the field of higher education, the
University Grants Commission (UGC) came
forward and set up National Assessment and
Accreditation council (NAAC) with an object
to cater quality education at affordable cost.
Deterioration in quality of education
specially in government sector due to lack of
availability of trained faculty.
The UGC has decided to invite proposals
from institutions that are keen on ‘exporting
Indian education to foreign learners under a
‘Study India programs’ (SIP).
Over regulation – control over course
curriculum , entrance tests, fees etc.
The Indian Govt. belatedly started the
process of constituting a Committee for the
Promotion of Indian Education Abroad
(COPIE) under the ministry of human
resources department of education.
According to a recent report Indians are
spending nearly $1 billion on higher education
abroad. Many universities do not attract
competent and committed faculty due to poor
salaries and working conditions.
26. We can achieve the goal of Vision 2020
in our Country only when we make
youth to contribute their efforts in all
fields. We have to make them
overcome the Threats that are put
before our Country. We have to really
follow the advises of great people like
Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, our former
President. Hence our Vision 2020 has to
be on the belief that human resources
are the most important determinant of
overall development.
