Die indische Regierung veröffentlichte ihre Vision zur Gestaltung des Bildungsbereichs durch eine neue Bildungspolitik.
Govt outlines vision for national education policy
The Union Government has outlined its vision for the education sector by
releasing the themes of a new national education policy in the works.
The
broad contours of this policy, under 33 themes, were uploaded on mygov.in, the
official website that crowd-sources ideas and suggestions on important policies
from the public. Though this is not the final draft of the policy, it sets the
ball rolling on efforts to create a new national education policy, India's first
in 29 years.
In a posting on the website, the government said it "would
like to bring out a national education policy to meet the changing dynamics of
the population's requirement, with regard to quality education, innovation and
research, aiming to make India a knowledge superpower by equipping its students
with the necessary skills and knowledge and to eliminate shortage of manpower in
science, technology, academics and industry".
The new policy, the upload
on mygov.in suggests, will also evaluate public-private partnerships (PPPs) to
finance education, seek ways of upping India's spend on higher education to 1.5%
of gross domestic product (GDP) from less than 1% now, and emphasize on research
and development (R&D).
The government also sought suggestions on ways
to rework the examination system for better assessment of students, restructure
education regulators such as the University Grants Commission and the All Indian
Council for Technical Education (AICTE) as "present regulatory systems tend to
stymie quality and growth of our institutions".
Higher education cannot
sustain only through public funding. While PPPs in higher education have been
pursued as a strategy, not many have shown successful results. Hence, the PPP
models need to be revisited so as to allow more meaningful collaborations. A
critical analysis of PPP in HE (higher education), the existing legal provisions
and which viable models are possible need to carried out, the upload on mygov.in
said, reported Live Mint.
