Education for all: Attainable Objective?

Posted on June 5, 2005October 12, 2010 by V.Isvarmurti

When the current regime assumed office in Delhi with Deve Gowda at the helm, there was some noise about making education for all a reachable goal by 2000 AD.  Under Gujral, this goal seems to have receded to the background.  No one talks of education these days.

What makes for good schools?

Posted on June 5, 2005October 12, 2010 by V.Isvarmurti

Schools occupy the minds of parents, thinkers and governments as the very basis of a civilized society.  No country underrates the importance of educating their children.  There are advanced countries like the European nations and the USA where schooling evokes strong feelings of warmth and fierce criticisms.  Warmth as schools gives families and children that…

India’s Model of public school

Posted on April 5, 2004April 9, 2007 by V.Isvarmurti

A short history, an English headmaster, a mix of many contradictions, claims to pedigree, pressures of paying high fees and the consequent pushing off the more genteel classes by the new commercial and business tycoon families make this once proud imitator of the British model into India’s own new model. The crack of a cricket…

Posted on April 5, 2004April 9, 2007 by V.Isvarmurti

Are they living up to their ideals? Public schools are said to give the best education to youngsters from well-off economic and social backgrounds. Yes, this perception is right. These schools have been inherited from the British administrators who founded them in India. The British founded two types of public schools. Schools like the Lawrence…
