The ghost of non-profit in education has similarĬonsequences: 90% of education capacity created since 1991 has been for-profitīut in the guise of non-profit because of legislation. Kartar Bhooth where the perceived static wishes of a dead leader make lifeĭifficult and kill innovation. Rabindranath Tagore has a wonderful story called Reforms in education: a large dose of competition, deregulation andĮntrepreneurship. Since politics willĪlways be local, systemic change may need an equivalent of the 1991 economic Government teacher absenteeism or 50% student dropout ratio. Government schools means that there are no consequences for the 25% daily Political will to confront powerful teachers and teacher politicians in Unfortunately, this pay recalibration was a lost opportunity to create performance parameters around attendance and learning outcomes. The Sixth Pay Commission means that most government teachers get paid three times more than their private sector counterparts - an entry-level teacher in Uttar Pradesh now gets Rs 21,000 per month - besides a generous index-linked defined-benefit pension for life linked to last-drawn salary. But dismissing teachers on grounds of incompetence has been impossible because of local politics. Eric Hanushek, an economist at Stanford University, argues that replacing the bottom 5-8% of American teachers with merely average performers could move the US from near the bottom to near the top of the international math and science rankings. and scholarship schemes - which give choice to parents.

This government-teacher nexus is not unique Inspections, character books, transfers, suspensions, withholding salary Undermining institutional accountability measures such as attendance, school Politicians are useful and effective in helping government teachers in OverĤ0% of government teachers in the state have 'met' or 'know' a legislator. Government teachers are the only government employees exempt from the office-of-profit provision and have used their job security to contest elections at all levels: over the last 20 years, they have accounted for 17% and 6% of the seats in the Uttar Pradesh legislative council and assembly respectively. This nexus is highlighted by Geeta Gandhi Kindon and Mohammed Muzammil in their work, Teacher effort and accountability: Some political economy determinants, which looks at Uttar Pradesh. This relationship sabotages the 'thought world' shift of education policy from student enrolment to learning outcomes because this shift needs effective performance management - the fear of falling and hope of rising - which is currently missing for government teachers largely because of their importance as politicians or for politicians. Corruption and incompetence can exist anywhere, but I'd like to make the case that the performance challenges in government schools - teacher attendance, learning outcomes, performance orientation, student employability, etc - may be a child of the close relationship between politicians and teachers in government and government-'aided' private schools. Why? This was the year that the chief minister, upset with government teachers because of political calculations, ordered the police to check identity cards and supervise exams to prevent cheating. In 1992, the pass rate for Uttar Pradesh Board High School students fell to 15% from the before and after 25-year average of 40%.
