Cleaning up the NEET mess
India Today, 29 Jul 2013
What has intoxicated the regulatory tendrils is the judicially recognised fact in TMA Pai (2002) that higher education has changed immeasurably into a huge public-private partnership.

How can ordinary citizens influence the quality of school education?
With the support of the Vijaya Development Resource Center (VDRC), 21 community schools scattered around mid-hill (inner Terai and Madhesh regions of Nawalparasi district) introduced the Community Score Card into their schools. This is a simple social accountability tool which allows parents and students to be involved in assessing school performance and establishing constructive dialogue with schools on required improvements. VDRC implemented the project in two phases starting from December in 2011 for the period of nine months. The first phase of the program started on January 2012 to April 2012 and the second phase of the program started from June 2012 to September 2012. Click here to read more.
