Rajasthan to regulate private school fees
Jaipur:MMNN:2 Mar. 2016
Rajasthan state education department is likely to replace the existing Rajasthan Fee Act (regulation of the collection of fees) 2013 with Maharashtra Fee Act-2014 to regulate the fees of 35,500 private unaided schools in Rajasthan.
Education minister Vasudev Devnani will introduce the bill in the state assembly next week.
The existing act here is empowered to determine only academic fees whereas, the Maharashtra model determine all kinds of fees, including academic, hostel, mess etc.
Devnani met with Maharashtra education minister Vinod Tawde last week to discuss the success of this act in his state.
The move came after the Rajasthan Fee Act enacted by state assembly failed to give desired result in last 18 months.
So far, fees committee had determined the fees of over 8,000 schools against the 35,000 private schools.
The act is likely to be opposed by the private school bodies as the Maharashtra act allows parents and teachers to have a say in deciding the fees proposed by the school.
Here private schools have also conveyed to the minister that any infringement in their autonomy will not be tolerated.

According to the report, the annual average dropout rate at primary level for the state was at 8.39% in 2013-14 and 18.50% for the Muslim community. Similarly, the dropout rate was higher in SC and ST communities with 9.57% and 10.04% respectively.
In the upper primary level, Muslim dropouts form the highest average with 20.59% as compared to the state average of 6.03%. SC and ST communities mark steep averages of 7.51% and 7% respectively. Muslim students have the lowest transition rate (from primary to upper primary level of education) with 70.46% as compared to the state average of 88.23%. SC/ST kids have lower transition rates of 87.70% and 81.60% respectively.
“Children of SC/ST and Muslim communities have the lowest attendance in schools. Unless education is inclusive to all communities, the RTE act is nothing but a failure,” said Nigam.
“Government schools provide free education. But disdain by teachers and an inactive administration force parents to pull out their kids from schools.
Economic disparity is the biggest reason behind this trend,” said Sayyed Masood Akhtar, state president, Rajasthan Madarsa Education Helpers’ Association (RMEHA).
“Access to public schools is anyway very limited to this community due to poverty but the dropouts can join madarsas,” said Saeed Ahmed, additional director, Madarsa Board.
Dalit activists, however, believe that social disparity is the reason behind the increasing dropouts among the SC/ST and Muslim sections. “Teachers have a negative mindset against the deprived sections and discourage children at the initial level. Children of Valmiki community have stopped going to school as they were asked to be manual scavengers there,” said PL Minroth, chief functionary, center for Dalit rights.
The report adds that Muslim girls constitute 22.90 % of annual average dropout rate at the upper primary level as compared to that of boys at 18.77%, citing lack of safety assurances from the government and societal bodies as the reason for this trend.
“Numerous reasons including patriarchy, lack of safety and poverty are responsible for this trend. Parents are not usually willing to send their daughters to distant schools. If more female staff are included in government schools, then we can certainly improve this figure,” said Ameen Kayamkhani, patron, RMEHA.

Can online courses address India's rising university demand?

18 Feb. 2015

With student numbers rising and a shortage of faculty, massive open online courses (MOOCs) and small private online courses (SPOCS) are being viewed as a possible panacea in India.
“There are more and more students wanting to study at college or university… it could almost double,” says Bijendra Nath Jain, Vice-Chancellor at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani in Rajasthan, India. “There aren’t people wanting to become teachers [in India] – the only solution to the problem is technology. But who is going to embrace technology to solve these problems?”
BITS Pilani has four campuses, with 12,000 on-campus students and 20,000 more off-campus students studying engineering, science, management, pharmacy and social science subjects. It is one of many Indian universities that has turned to US-based online learning providers to offer alternative learning experiences to its students. BITS Pilani currently offers courses to its students through the MOOC platform Coursera along with IIT Bombay University.
The content is taught to BITS Pilani students via a SPOC, although Professor Jain says it is likely to adopt MOOCs in the future with rising student demand. “This is not going to be the mode of delivery going forward,” said Professor Jain. “My own sense is that it has to be offline, ‘anywhere, everywhere’ kind of delivery that MOOCs offers.”
MOOCs are viewed as a solution to managing the growing demand for higher education in India, where student numbers grew from 8.4m students in 2000 to 30m in 2012, and are predicted by some to reach 50m by 2020. The SPOCS model is being used as a means of delivering richer content to very large classes in Indian universities.
“There is a huge scope for SPOCs in countries such as India where we handle very large classes – 5,000 students enrolled in Bachelor or Physics degree programme requiring 50 faculty members to teach the same course simultaneously in the same semester,” Professor Nath Jain said. The market for online learning products is projected to reach US$42.7bn billion by 2018, according to international research company Ambient Insight. Asia’s appetite for online degree programmes is growing at a rate of 17.3%—faster than anywhere else in the world. Seven out of the top 10 countries with the highest e-learning growth rates in the world are in Asia.
Professor Nath Jain says the popular adoption of MOOCs as a brand-building platform to appeal to foreign students, however, is not the objective in South Asian universities, where it can deployed to build up capacity in under-resourced institutions. “If you look at the way universities have embraced MOOCs the motivation is not to expand the student body they cater to; it’s not going to suddenly double their intake soas to serve their needs… they are offering a few MOOCs courses for brand building beyond their own country, so they can attract a better quality and more graduate and Phd students to their programmes,” he said.
“In India, brand building is not going to be the motivation for this; what will drive embracement of MOOCs and SPOCs is the need to improve the quality of the instruction that we give or to expand the opportunities for our young.” He said that large universities such as Delhi, Mumbai or Pune University were using SPOCS to improve the quality of the courses they delivered, given a chronic shortage of trained faculty. Big universities in India would unlikely embrace MOOCs for the next three or four years, he said, although they would be more popular among the private higher education sector.
“I have to ask myself what is the motivation for many universities to be doing this… the large number of universities that are publicly funded are unlikely to be motivated enough to be able to use technology in any significant way, to expand access to higher education,” he said.
“These universities will offer two or three MOOC courses or a MOOC programme just to be sure that they are seen to be part of the wave.”


Union Minister Smriti Irani inaugurates IIM Udaipur

16 Feb. 2015

UDAIPUR: Union Minister Smriti Irani today said a special 'centre for tourism hospitality' will be constructed in the IIM campus here, in which students from across the country, interested in learning hospitality management can enroll themselves.
Keeping in view the hospitable nature of Rajasthan, this centre will be brought up in the Indian Institute of Management campus here, the Union HRD Minister said.
She was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the first IIM campus, situated in Balicha in the city. Through IIM, Rajasthan can become one of the leading states in education, she said.
Mentioning the 'Unnat Bharat Abhiyan' -- an initiative of the HRD Ministry involving engagement of institutions such as IITs and IIMs with communities around them -- Irani said, IIM Udaipur has also been directed to adopt villages near it for their upliftment.
The 'Unnat Bharat Abhiyan' involves engaging with communities around each institute and for their upliftment. Under the programme, each IIT will identify 10 villages in its neighbourhood and work out technologies to solve the most pressing issues of the region.
"A country's soul lies in its villages. We are thinking upon including issues related to agro based industries in the syllabus," she said.
Speaking on the occasion, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje said, "Centres like IIM should should be set-up in different corners of Rajasthan for a bright future of the state's youth".
The chief minister said due to coming up of an IIM here, Rajasthan will now be included in the list of developed states.


Pvt varsities’ test off to poor start

11 Feb. 2015

The Uni-Gauge entrance test, projected as a common entrance exam for admission to professional courses in private and deemed universities, hasn't quite taken off.
Only one varsity has agreed use the score of the February 15 test.
The ERA Foundation, formed by a group of well-known private and deemed universities, floated the test on the lines of GRE where each university would use the test scores but conduct its own counselling for admissions.
Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research is the only varsity accepting the test score. Around 1,350 students will take it. Three other institutions, including MS Ramaiah Medical College, want aspirants for its dental course to take the test.
With regard to the UG entrance test, two medical, three dental and eight engineering institutes have agreed to use the scores. "We're speaking to other universities, including some in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Since the registration is open till April for UG courses, there is still time for it," said BN Subramanya, CEO, ERA Foundation.
Interestingly, the foundation's few member institutions themselves aren't using the scores this year. "We had already initiated the processes for our own entrance tests. The Uni-Gauge came in a little late. We'll think about taking their scores next year," said RP Reddy, pro-VC, Reva University.
"JSS University withdrew this year because it wanted to maintain the same procedure of last year for internal reasons," said Subramanya.
It was mooted as a common entrance test for private and deemed varsities as it would cut down on the number of entrance exams that the students have to take. "The numbers are low as it's being conducted for the first time. The immediate task would be to conduct it in a flawless manner so that it gains people's confidence. As more people have confidence in the test scores, they will be widely accepted," said a member.


Earthians offer 500 water-saving ideas

9 Feb. 2015

In order to conserve water in their school, students of Government Girls secondary school, Dausa in Rajasthan calculated the leakage through the taps in their school. Shockingly, 20 litres per day was wasted everyday though the water taps, said Priyanka Rajput, a class 10 student. The students themselves did the audit and informed the school authorities. The leakage finally stopped.
Remote areas of Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh have sewage directly flowing to the water bodies. As a part of their Earthian project, students of ML Convent School conducted a water sampling test, which revealed that the pH value in the water sample was higher, thus making the water acidic. "The villagers in our remote areas are not aware of the quality of water they use. We started campaigning for clean water and using purifying methods at home," said Chaya Singh, a teacher of the school.
The 441 acres of IISc campus receive 817mm of rainfall annually. If the rain water is trapped scientifically and if the ground water is enriched, the premier institute of science need not depend on any other source of water and can be self-sufficient. This is what the Earthian awardees from IISc found out. Students of BSc in IISc, Pranav Kantroo and Sushant Bangru, came up with a study on water conversation possibilities on the campus campus. Carbon footprint here was more due to the higher usage of power on the campus for research purposes, students discovered.
Engineering students from Shastra University in Tamil Nadu conducted a survey in their college for the water usage audit. They realized that it was the hostel section of the college that was consuming the lion's share of water. "We restricted the timings for piped supply of water in hostels. Only in the morning and evening, tap water was made available and for any requirement stored water could be used. This helped us in saving water," said Rohan Chandra, a student whose team won the Earthian award.
Imagine water in hospitals to be unsafe! That's what students of Gyan Mandir Public School in Delhi realized after they collected drinking water samples from various houses, nursing homes, restaurants and got them tested for drinkability. The results were shocking as even samples taken from hospitals and hotels were contaminated with bacterial presence. "We covered West Delhi, and the result may be the same in other parts of Delhi too. The contamination has to be trapped at the source itself," said Harshavardhan Bhatia, a 10th graded student, from the school. The team was one of the Earthian awardees.
