Policy impacts on qualitative and quantitative aspects of Indian educationspecial emphasis on Punjab /[electronic resource] :by Jatinder S.

Chapter 1: Introduction and Outlines for the Study -- Chapter 2: Education Related Policies and Review of Literature -- Chapter 3: Evolution of Indian Education with special reference to Punjab -- Chapter 4: Reworking the Estimates of Enrollment and Literacy and Other Indicators of Performance of Education in Punjab -- Chapter 5: Education in Punjab among Various Socio-Economic Groups: Analysis mainly based on SLAS, 2015 Punjab Survey for 5th Class.

The book focuses on the state of education and on the levels of inequality among gender, rural-urban and social groups. Taking into account the various findings from existing literature on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of education, it uses empirical findings based on a revised methodology to draw new conclusions. This revised method was devised to define the size of population eligible for enrollment and was then employed to estimate the Gross Enrollment Rate (GER) and Gross Literacy Rate (GLR) at various completed education levels, using age-wise data from the Population Census, 2011. This methodology is based on the concept that among those eligible for enrollment/literacy, a few never get chance to enrol and others achieve various levels of literacy by remaining engaged in formal or informal education up to various ages. The book comes up with findings that have deep significance so far as policy making is concerned towards improving the state of education in India. There are fourteen hypotheses that the book proposes based on the study and each hypothesis is accompanied with policy suggestions. Interestingly, one of the hypotheses is that arbitrariness of government policies creates more problems and, as such, before proposing a policy change the government needs to put in more effort and time in planning and come up with carefully chalked out processes. In addition to being a valuable resource for researchers working in this area, the book has huge policy implications and think tanks working towards improving education in India.
