Summary |
Governance of technical education in India: International case studies is part of the world bank working paper series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the bank’s ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion.
Reforms are imperative for the huge and complex technical education system in India. A recent learning forum brought together senior policy makers and institutional leaders that elaborated a nine-point agenda to achieve good governance, a key to successful reforms in this area. The forum agenda and this paper build upon studies summarizing generic trade-offs, challenges, and experiences, from five Indian state governments, and global failures and successes, to balance demands for greater institutional autonomy with the government’s need to direct strategic economic development and enhance participation in higher education.
