Re: [MTC Global] Challenges India faces when it comes to higher education-What Needs to be Done

Dear Professor

I read your article and is seems to be pathetic to know about the closure of engineering colleges. It is due to mismanagement on the part of the management of these institutions. They more often hesitate to pay for the talented staff members and they are very keen in filling their pouches with money. In India we have lot of talented faculty members ready to offer their services. Most of the managements are very keen extracting the money from the students  and fail to do their best contributions for their well being. 

Governments while granting permission to the new colleges it is keen in collecting in several laks for granting the same as a gratification. On the other side, the AICTE officials also demand gratification from these promoters. In turn, they collects all these from the students. I feel political intervention, bribe and other official disturbances keep away from the institutions. 

During the time of admissions, I have seen many institutions with their lucrative advertisements promising for placements, extraordinary facilities. But in reality nothing is true. Finally they are making education as commodity to the maximum extent. When there is not quality in the service, it is obvious students will never turn to these institutions. That is the reason for the closure. Therefore, every institutions must have qualified and talented who have a great inspiration for teaching and class advisers to exhibit their credit worthiness. 

Thanks for the opportunity to throw my ideas 

With best regards

What we need to do immediately, with out any further delay ,is to come out with an (even if it is not perfect 100%) manpower plan so that we are clear about our manpower requirements. 
Once this is done accordingly the concerned regulatory agencies can act while granting permissions for new colleges ( some 45 engineering colleges in AP applied for permission to close down as they don't have students).
Further, we need to give a big push to vocational education, , while improving institute industry interaction. 
We all must be grateful to TW Schultz for telling us the role of education (by looking at the rapid recovery of Japan and Germany after the 2nd world war) in the economic development of a country. Further, Finland showcased before us how education, especially the teachers, can contribute significantly to the economic development. 
Let's do our bit by spreading education among the oppressed and suppressed(like Babar Ali of Murshidabad).
With festive greetings

Mr Goel is right. We need vocational colleges. Since educational institutes have been "captured" by politicians with an eye on capitation fees, will idea to popularize vocational; colleges take of.?,

Assuming that we shall be able to create capacities, do we really have capacity to employ this workforce. We do not need more engineering and management schools, we need more medical institutes so that capitation fee nuisance in medical colleges can be stopped and there are more doctors and exploitation of poor can stop. We need more vocational colleges to award diplomas with two years' skill building program with basic knowledge, such force can later go for self-employment if sufficient openings are not available in the industry.

Tell us about the scale of the challenge India faces when it comes to higher education.
 
Pramath Ranjan Sinha:
 
Let me give you some figures to set the context. The total population between the ages of 15 and 24 in India is 234 million. If India is to meet its 30 percent GER target by 2020, about 40 million students would be enrolled in the higher education system in 2020. Currently, around 18.5 million students are enrolled in the higher education sector. The problem is that as increasing numbers come out of the high school system, we just don't have the capacity to absorb them into the college system. There is a massive mismatch in the supply-demand, of proportions that have never been seen anywhere or anytime in the world before.
For instance, to reach the target of the 30 percent GER, let alone aspire to developed nation standards, we need to create an additional capacity of about 25 million seats over the next decade. This requires an additional 10,510 technical institutions, 15,530 colleges and 521 universities! That's the root cause of the problem – but, why did the problem happen?
The problem happened because for a long time we were happy with the public, government-owned system. Unfortunately, until a few years ago, India was in denial of the situation. While there was a government push to ramp up access in primary and secondary schooling, when it came to higher education, we were too focussed on the few good institutions we have, such as the IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and the IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) (none of which are in the QS Top 200, though).
It's a step forward that at least now we recognise the scale of the challenge. But, there is no way such magnitude of scale can be achieved by the government. It will need the private sector's active participation.
