Drawing on empirical, interdisciplinary research, this book presents a critical review of some of the major issues that are of interest to researchers, policymakers and planners in developing as well as advanced countries, including specifically in India. It provides an in-depth review of some of the major development policy issues in education in general, and in India in particular, over the past 2-3 decades. Besides presenting an overview of the educational developments in India that reflects issues such as growth, equity, efficiency, foreign aid, decentralization, center-state relations, financing, and cost recovery, the book puts forward in-depth analyses of education poverty, interrelations between education and poverty, low level of outcomes in elementary education, effects of structural adjustment policies and approaches on education, south-south cooperation, etc. It also critically discusses changes in policies relating to financing higher education, external assistance for education, and how the growth of private higher education is affecting society at large. The dichotomy between public policy and action is also highlighted in many chapters. On the whole, while the importance of education is being increasingly recognized, the state does not seem to be as willing to foot the bill for education as the households and even the private sector. Occasionally contrasting with international evidence on, for example, financing higher education, private higher education, or the effects of neo-liberal policies, the book offers an interesting read for a wider audience.

There was a massive turn of events in education in the late 1990s particularly with the emergence of right wing BJP into power. We decided to take a fresh look at the dynamics of development of Indian education based on our experience in Indian Education: Development since Independence. Several major institutions like CABE ACC etc. were adapted to suit political agenda of cultural nationalism during the NDA regime. There was no qualitative shift during the succeeding UPA regime though it resurrected CABE. Biggest casualties were the national institutions with unmistakable dwarfing of the people in the leadership positions. School curriculum shuttled between the 'left' and 'right' leaving students' interest in the back burner. Students' anti-reservation agitation met with water cannons 'lathis' and gunshots when Delhi traders' agitation met with political sympathy across party lines. Indeed a dangerous trend of politicalization of education was set in motion. This dynamics needs to be captured. This book comprises 15 chapters; a chapter each on to elementary education adult education education of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes secondary education higher education technical education women's education inclusive education educational technology teacher education media in education open and distance education and educational financing. These 13 chapters have been preceded by a chapter each on an overview of development of education since independence and evolution of educational policies in India. Each chapter coming from distinguished specialist in the respective field adds additional value to the book.

This book tells a story of radical educational change. In the early nineteenth century, an imperial civil society movement promoted modern elementary 'schools for all'. This movement included British, American and German missionaries, and Indian intellectuals and social reformers. They organised themselves in non-governmental organisations, which aimed to change Indian education. Firstly, they introduced a new culture of schooling, centred on memorisation, examination, and technocratic management. Secondly, they laid the ground for the building of the colonial system of education, which substituted indigenous education. Thirdly, they broadened the social accessibility of schooling. However, for the nineteenth century reformers, education for all did not mean equal education for all: elementary schooling became a means to teach different subalterns 'their place' in colonial society. Finally, the educational movement also furthered the building of a secular 'national education' in England.
