Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Discussion-II] What do you believe to be the biggest issue facing us today in public education that is resulting in many of our schools/colleges to be labeled as low performing?

Agreed, Virendra. Why people shy? Not knowing or not willing to get connected? To what extent are we originally contributing? We need to reflect upon. When we ourselves are unable to avoid plagiarism, what can we say about students? There needs to be commitment and leadership and every teacher has to strive to augment learning and sharing. Today social constructionist approach to education is exploding with the advent of ICTs.

My observation is that most of the faculty members are not willing to establish personal relations and communication with their counter parts in the country. Goal of industry/institution interface can be achieved only if there is a faculty/industry professional interface.

Dear Sir, There needs to be a topic of research to ascertain how serious are companies
about academic research. The gut feel is that they aren't so. There may be many reasons
but the most important one seems to be the low value of such research and the
corresponding high cost for spending on it.
I am sure that some in this august forum will find it a fit topic for investigation.
Best Regards,

>Dear Sir, 
In Higher Education, I think, the teaching fraternity collectively is the main issue. We
have become passive regulation takers rather than regulation influencers. There has to be
positive academic activism based on sound intellectual research. There is need to come
together to drive collective enlightened self interest through positive social capital.
Academicians have to address what the different stakeholders expect of then and
accountability to the society. And not wait for regulators to tell them. 
In fact this is where accreditation started elsewhere (self regulation that provides
freedoms to do the right things). Most of the academic groupings we have today in India,
as far as I know, emerged to counter some legislation or the other rather than to achieve
higher level ideals. We have  to restore academia to higher levels of commitment to
transformational ideas and ideals whereby other sectors (political and bureaucratic
leadership) would sit up and listen to them.     
For this to happen academicians have to take PhD and other research work seriously. The
work of academicians is to do high level abstraction, re-search to see things anew, all
while being critical of existing order of things. Is this sacred covenant being even
attempted today by mainstream academic community?  
There is no substitute for academicians to be anything other than higher-idea
entrepreneurs that they honestly practice, profess and through students propagate.
  Thank you, Dear Professor Bholanath Dutta, for this opportunity to air one's views. 
No malice meant please.
