From the Desk of the DTE Issues of quality and faculty

The quality of higher education is an

equally serious problem. In this area, the

11th Plan recognised three areas for

interventions — physical infrastructure,

academic reform and ensuring adequate faculty.

Infrastructure can be improved with an increase in

financial allocation. Academic reform — which includes

semester and credit systems, courses by choice, and

examination reform — is a process which should be

advanced only after the pre-requisites are met. In the case

of faculty, which is an issue that has assumed serious

proportions, several steps were effected in the 11th Plan.

However, it still persists. A solution demands joint

efforts being put in by the Centre and States. One way,

and as a one-time effort, is to enforce the University

Grant Commission’s (UGC) teacher-student ratio for

each State, and ensure that the financial requirement of

additional faculty is shared by the Centre and States.

Global collaboration

Apart from these, there is the issue of ensuring the access

of Indian education to >global frontiers. In this, a popular

view is to allow global universities to set up campuses in

India. However, this is countered by some who argue that

the presence of a few quality institutions is hardly the

solution as far as the majority of rural and poor students

are concerned. The alternative is to allow foreign

educational institutions to enter into collaborations with

Indian institutions on a large scale. In turn, this will help

in enhancing capabilities as far as curricular and

pedagogical practices, and student-faculty exchanges

go.For quality institutions, autonomy as far as academic

and administrative aspects are involved is a must. This

would also involve the appointment of heads of

institutional and executive bodies. It must be

remembered that a UGC committee had once suggested

the independence of institutions from the government as

the bottom line for autonomy.

For an education of relevance:The development of

human resources for the economy has been translated

into action through vocational and professional

education. The last government took the initiative by

setting up a National Skill Development Corporation (it

brought the government and corporate sector together to

frame a demand based curriculum), which the present

government has taken to greater heights by creating a

Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. But

similar efforts are lacking in social education. Such value

education should eliminate obscurantism, religious

fanaticism, violence, superstition and fatalism.” This

requires youth and children to be sensitised about the

problem of inequities, poverty, undemocratic practices

and reiterating commitment to upholding equality,

justice, freedom and fraternity. The role of education in

the 21st Century is to prepare students to know, to care

and to act in ways that will develop and foster knowledge

and skill needed to participate in effective action. H.U. Talawar

From the desk of the Editor Higher Education in India:

The present situation of higher education

system in India is complex and

challenging. With the increase in

population, there has been surge in the number of

students seeking admission in these universities and

colleges for higher education. In the field of higher

education in India, there was the time when population of

the country was much lesser and higher education was

accessible to all and everyone.It refers to the education in

colleges and universities. India has a large higher

education system.

High Cut-off rate: Students find a staggeringly high cut-

off percentage for admission such as 80 or more %, in

some subjects in prestigious universities and colleges.

This again is a grim scenario, causing distress

disappointment even leading to deep depression among

the admission seekers. Such situation affects the mental

condition of the students. However, it is true that only the

deserving should seek admission and granted admission.

Diversified streams for higher education: The streams

for higher education have been diversified in a large way.

There are several options for the admission seekers, but

qualifications and competitions at every stage are to be

presented and faced.

Loan schemes: For the brilliant-poor, there should be

educational-loans schemes by the banks, which should be

available after due scrutiny of qualifications and means,

repayable in easy installments or even after getting duly

employed. Many banks have come up with education

loan schemes for students.

Limited Stay: Students at the Universities should be

allowed to stay as students only for limited period of

study and research period. Beyond it, none should be

allowed to stay after post-graduation.

Role of Teachers: Here again the final onus falls on

teachers. They, by their precept as well as by their

example of uprightness and devotion to duty should

become the real torch bearers for the student community

and win regard and reverence from them. That alone can

place the University or the college campus above narrow

gains.

Private coaching: Private coaching has become a wide-

spread malady among university teachers. This needs to

be curbed and controlled even by law, if required.

Distance higher education: For those who have failed to

get admission to a University, or a college, distance-

education is the only answer. The Indira Gandhi Open

University and similar other Universities all over the

country with full recognized courses could be and are the

only answer to the aspirant for higher education. There

can be multifarious courses offered by these Universities

which can even be different from those offered at the

regular Universities or their associated or affiliated

college and this can be an added attraction to students

and can absorb a large number of the crowd waiting at

the brinks of the Universities and colleges.

various tools, techniques and frameworks. Hadoop is an

open-source framework that allows to store and process

big data in a distributed environment across clusters of

computers using simple programming models. It is

designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of

machines, each offering local computation and storage.

This brief workshop provides an introduction to Big

Data, Map Reduce algorithm, and other Hadoop

technology.
