Concern and Problems Regarding Privatization of Education

-

 Factors leading to growth of Private Institutions in Education

Concept of Privatization in Indian Education System

To ensure effectiveness of curriculum transaction in classroom

Although privatization has paced the growth in educational system as discussed in previous articles, there are few concerns which should not be overlooked. They are:-

1)      Under representation of the weaker sections: Education should be holistic in nature. But the marginalized sections still struggle for entry in private institutions due to high fee structure. Thus, education once again becomes a privilege to be enjoyed by the elite class.

2)      Quality of Education; It is general notion that private schools /colleges provide quality education when compared to government schools/colleges. However, when it comes for higher and professional education the government run centres of excellence like IIT’s, IIM’s, AIIM etc are still the first choice of students.

3)      Commercialization of Education: Treating education as a business to get maximum returns has led to commercialization of education. Many private educational institutions charge hefty fees while students do not get full value for their money. Teachers are compensated inadequately, hired and fired at the owner’s will. Even teachers without proper qualification are recruited. All these also affect the quality of education. Infact, these institutions exist only for reaping money.

Therefore, it can be said that privatization is important to expand education qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The government should take both the pros and cons of privatization and encourage it to achieve economic development while discouraging commercialization so that all sections of society can benefit.

Kurtz         Marlow Narrative mode Colonialism History of English language Justify (or significance of) the title ‘Heart of Darkness’ by Joseph Conrad.                              OR ‘Heart of Darkness’ is essentially a story of darkness at different levels. 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. The title basically refers to the dark African continent. Literally it means the inmost region of the territory which was in those days still in the process of being explored and the inhabitants still led a primitive life. 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

Character Sketch of KURTZ in Heart Of Darkness

Theme                     Title                 Treatment of Women       Marlow Narrative mode                              Colonialism Education vs Indoctrination Explain Stream of Consciousness Kurtz is the most important figure in Heart of Darkness . 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. Almost every person shares a goo

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
