Current Indian Education Scenario “Over-regulated and Under-Governed”

The ‘not-for profit’ nature of the $40bn formal IES has deterred for-

profit private participation while inability to transform education into a ‘process-driven’ model curtails scalability in non-formal IES ($10bn).

Investment rests on 4Cs –

Players with Credibility (management intent & ability),

Capital (built to last),

Creativity (to ‘manage’ the overregulated environment)

Content (to differentiate and build annuity)

IES – the ‘Largest’…inefficiencies the ‘Highest’:

the largest capitalized space in India with $30bn of government spend (3.7% of GDP; at global average),

a large network of ~1m schools and 18,000 higher education institutes.

Yet, the public education system is ‘insufficient’ and ‘inefficient’, leading education-hungry and affluent Indians to spend $50bn on private education (14% CAGR over FY08-12E).

Current Indian Education Scenario “Over-regulated and Under-Governed”

Formal IES:

A Poor Regulatory Framework and Low risk-appetite have discouraged for-profit participation and attracted limited capital.. With no structural change in sight (rampant corruption and low political will), is stagnant.

Non-formal IES:

Non-regulated and faster-growing –– fails the scalability test (barring a few pockets).

Reaching the Unreached & Fear

of Unknown

Technology is an enabler, but it is not a substitute for teachers-remove the fear of unknown

Interaction and Delivery system can change It is not one way delivery of lectures, but it is a

integrated interaction between learners & Teachers

Multi-media exposures makes teaching made easier- at the same time, it empowers the teachers & Learners

Teachers & Learners use the same medium of Internet & Web.

resources – Scientific Databases, HPC, 3D and VR content, simulated labs and

environments, so on. A lot more on local content generation in the different

regions needed.

Tier 4: Critical layer to associate content with learning activities using the formal

ODTEL Framework. Driven by CEGs duly appointed by respective universities and

duly approved by its academic councils or equivalent. Quality of education is

assured through this layer.

Towards a PPP Model for Education Grid Services

All universities and formal education programs to hire their own space in the

cloud of networked Data Centers.

Data Centers may be owned and managed by private players.

All agree on an Indian Profile of standardized systems and applications.

At Integrated, currently using a few instances of Solaris or Linux virtual

containers over enterprise class servers and Virtual Storage system for

each. Top this with MySQL, Drupal CMS and Apache for hosting the web-

applications.

Applications are typically Wiki, Moodle, a Digital Library suite, Mobile

Gateways, video streaming, Databases, etc.

Care taken to ensure that applications are W3C compliant and accessed

through different browsers under common OS.

An incubator for promoting Education Grid Services.

Turning Affiliating University System to Advantage

Each Affiliating University (AU) adopts ODTEL Framework and builds its own

Open Course Guides (OCG) for each course.

Colleges conduct the course as per the OCG. Each of them may use their

own LMS and other tools.

Teachers in different colleges of the same university collaborate with CEG

through an LMS maintained in the university. Both CEG and teachers are

also guided by the OCG

Inexperienced teachers may choose or encouraged to undergo certificate of

proficiency programs conducted by the AU.

Certified teachers in a subject carry out evaluation of their own class in that

subject and act as feedback to students.

Such systems generate large pool of good teachers over time.

OCG also promotes varieties of students’ engagements in learning activities.

The popularity of NPTEL Video Lectures hosted in YouTube is

increasing. Last 6 months saw 0.5 million visits. Open comments

on YouTube show many students around the world are grateful to

this IITs initiative.

For each NPTEL video course we may create an IOCG by formally

established groups under a Virtual IIT, or, Virtual Institute of

Science, Technology and Arts (VISTA).

Such IOCG may also enrich the course through rich supplementary

links to MIT OCW, various other university sites.

MHRD has given some seed grant to IIT Kanpur to give the concept

of VIIT a shape.

With IITs,NITs IISc and Integrated establishing small Data Centres we

are ready for the pilot launch by 2013+.

From NPTEL to VIIT or VISTA?

Imagine the scope: For a revenue base, let us say we charge Rs.

100 per month or Rs. 500 for a whole semester long course for

assured Tech Enabled Learning services, 8 courses per year, 2.5

Mn engineering students, the pool comes to Rs. 10 Bn. Crores per

Year!

The scope is much more! A whole new world of Open Education

with India leading the way while solving its present intractable

problem.

IOCG driven ODTEL framework assures all students quality learning

centric education.

ODTEL gives the system of formal education the Tech Enabled edge.

We may also liberate learners by allowing to take courses from

different universities.

The Great Opportunity

Changing Accreditation and Regulatory Systems

The 5* Course Maturity Rating over the ODTEL Framework

makes it accreditation worthy in a natural way.

This will help giving new enabling roles to the regulatory

bides and accreditation agencies. This may set the terms

of the proposed National Commission for Higher Education

and Research (NCHER).

With IOCG and supportive public wiki in each course

curriculum modernization is readily integrated as a

continuous process.

Let us start the three way consultation between

Academia, Industry and Government and thrash out the

modalities of building the ODTEL system min the country.

It is time we get out of the present weak system of

education that has reduced it to ‘covering’ the syllabus

and conducting mass exams.

As per our Indian Tradition, True Man-making Education

is built upon the three processes of

SRAVANA, MANANA AND NIDHIDHYASANA

The ODTEL Framework set Over a National Education

Grid is a practical way to support quality education

through Tech Enabled Learning.

It is time to give the learners greater options than

what is offered by a university/college through

Open Access to courses from others.

And more to be done ...

“If the poor cannot come to education, education must reach them,

at the plough, in the factory, everywhere.”

.. Swami Vivekananda

With CKE, we must integrate quality and inclusive

education opportunities for all aspiring youth and any one who wish to

learn further.

Such education should be vertically integrated to provide

opportunities for everyone who is competent and aspires to study

further.

Slogan: 'Place no bar, age no bar, time no bar' and offer 'Quality

Education to All Independent of Geography.'

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
