Concept of Privatization in Indian Education System

Factors leading to growth of Private Institutions in Education

Concern and Problems regarding Privatization of Education

Orthodox School's Views of Knowledge

Overview of History of English Language

The concept of privatization in Indian Education System means running the institute without taking financial subsidy from the government. However, they are required to take recognition from the concerned authority of the government and have to be affiliated to a board- CBSE, ICSE, UGC, NCTE, INC, PCI etc established by the government. The ownership of these educational institutions involve:-

1)   Individual Owner and Trusts: Owned either by wealthy people of society or trusts created by corporate houses.

2)      NGO’s: EX-The Aziz-Premji Foundation, Akshara etc.

3)      Religious Bodies: The Christian Missionaries, Arya Samaj, Ram Krishna Mission, Khalsa Group etc.

4)      Corporate Houses: Tata, Birla, Reliance group etc.

Privatization of education in India introduced new policies and programs to increase employment, income opportunities and achieve economic development at National and International level. It has brought about rapid change in the educational scenario. Privatization encourages the individual and society to establish schools, colleges and private universities to meet the growing demand for education.

In India, privatization of education is not new; it existed even before independence in the form of so called Public Schools like Doon School, Mayo College and Christian Missionary Schools and Colleges. They were run by their own Board of Management without interference of the government. After independence, there was an expansion of education. Central and State Governments both took initiatives to establish State-owned or government aided schools. Teachers at all levels have their salaries determined according to national or state wage scales. After 1970’s interlinked process of globalization and liberalization tremendously affected the educational process in India.

A stage was encountered when government was finding it difficult to meet the democratic aspirations of the people for further expansion of educational system due to paucity of resources. On the other hand, the expansion of the horizons of knowledge was taking place at a rapid pace all over the world. It was therefore felt that privatization in education be introduced so that it can share the burden of the government in funding and providing quality education.

Privatization in education has increased the opportunities by increasing the scope of admissions in all levels of education. Due to ownership, level of quality increased in few set-ups to great extent. However, this is not true with all private organizations. Most of them are meant for financially strong strata of the society and the poor children are bound to go to government schools. This has widened the gap between the rich and poor. The emerging new talent is not at all interested in government schools except Navodaya Vidyalayas and Kendriya Vidyalayas. Lot of facilities have been provided nowadays to government educational institutions but there is lack of proper strategy to utilise and maintain them. As a result people are opting for private schools. On the other hand owing to such circumstances the private schools are making education their business commonly termed as ‘Commercialization of Education’.

Give your opinion.                                     Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness is quite significant and meaningful so far as its title is concerned. It is certainly the story of darkness at different levels- physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, subconscious etc. It is the story of dark personality like Mr.Kurtz and diabolical possessions.

By Conrad’s time many parts of Africa had been explored and depicted on the map; even then Africa was still known as the Dark Continent

Joseph Conrad reveals little about him through the action in the book. We are introduced to this enigmatic character through various events and other persons. His role is a series of images constructed by others. Kurtz’s mother was half-English and his father was half-French. Educated partly in England and partly in other countries, he was a great genius. Conrad presented him as an efficient agent, a painter, a journalist, a musician, a great conversationalist and a great man who could win over the heart of natives. The International Society for the suppression of the Savage Customs had entrusted him with the making of the report, for his future guidance, which when prepared was very eloquent.

Bring out the Autobiographical Elements in Sons and Lovers

Theme of Oedipus Complex                    Education vs Learning Critical analysis Use of Symbols History of English Language Doctor Faustus D.H.Lawrence was considered a maverick when a series of novels- The White Peacock (1911), The Trespasser (1912), Sons and Lovers (1913), The Plumed Serpent (1926) and Lady Chatterly’s Lover (1929) written by him were published. He used the medium of novel as a vehicle for communicating his own vision of life. As a fiction writer he exhibited his genius but it was his prophetic vision that really created waves in the world. One of the most disputed men of genius in the history of modern English novel has been excessively praised as well as excessively abused. Eminent critics like T.S.Eliot have condemned him as an uncultured man insensitive to social morality. But, many of them in recent times have defended him against the charges of immorality.     Sons and Lovers is an autobiographical novel, as autobiographical as Arnold Bennett’s C

Short Note on RASA and DHVANI

-
Colonialism History of English Language Doctor Faustus The word Rasa literally means taste, flavour, juice etc. Taking another aspect it is also used to denote the essence of poetry. It signifies the peculiar experience that poetry affords us. The Rasa School stresses this experimental or subjective side of poetic meaning. Bhattanayaka asserted that rasa affects the spectator and developed the theory further by saying that poetic language is different from ordinary language. He imposed on rasa theory a system of theology and philosophy. Rasas (poetic emotions) are invariably pleasurable unlike some natural emotions like sorrow, fear and disgust which are painful. The nature of rasa which is the same as aesthetic experience is alaukika (not of this world) that is transcending the boundaries of worldly experience involving willing suspension of disbelief, negative capability, aesthetic distance and detachment. It is realized when an emotion is awakened in the mind in such a manner

Justification of the Title LOOK BACK IN ANGER

-
John Osborne’s plays represent the ‘ordinary’ or ‘real’ life on stage. The most famous of them are- The Entertainer, Epitaph for George Dillon, Plays for England, Inadmissible Evidence and Look Back in Anger. All his plays demand consideration of the social, economic, political and cultural changes that Britain underwent in the period immediately after the Second World War. Look Back in Anger was inspired by his own life. Osborne himself admitted saying that the marriage ceremony in the play was, A fairly accurate description of our wedding . By just considering the title Look Back in Anger, it is often read as though like a command to perform a particular action. However, just by title it is not clear that injunction made is referred towards whom- whether to character, play or audience. Considering another aspect, the title can be taken in a descriptive way as telling us what the play actually does. Probably, there is another way of dividing it in two themes- the action of ‘lo
