The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with NORCAP and with support from Innovation Norway, is implementing a project to address barriers to accessing essential energy services for displaced populations. This project also tackles obstacles faced by private actors in entering this overlooked market. To raise awareness about the benefits of clean energy and establish communication between communities and IOM, Energy Ambassadors are stationed daily in each pilot site. Photo: Amanda Nero /IOM 2023

e) Most important of all can this provision of 25% reserves seats solve the problem of the 19 crore children between the age of 6-14 in our country who need education? At present, around 4 crore children study in recognized private schools. If we allow for 25% reservation in these schools, then, assuming it is implemented faithfully, 1 crore children can avail of education what is to become of the remaining 18 crore? They will remain condemned to the sub-standard education as usual. Further, second-rate private schools mushrooming which currently charge around Rs. 100-150 will take advantage of the 25% reservation clause to avail of Government funds by hiking their fees to match the Government grant. In the name of educating poor children, private schools will claim and enjoy all sorts of subsidies and grants. This will mean public money flowing into private profiteers coffers. What an illuminating example of PPP or Public Private Partnership! .
f) What is stopping the Government from improving the quality and expanding number of government schools to ensure access for all students? Why, instead, is the Government hell-bent on sending poor kids to expensive private schools? Actually, the Governments agenda is to discredit and dismantle the huge network of government schooling, so that the market for private schools can flourish unchallenged. .
g) A fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution means that any citizen can approach the court for justice if such a right is violated. But according to the RTE Act just passed by Parliament, if any citizen wishes to go to court against any private school, then he or she must first take permission from the requisite government authority! The Act also states that if any authority violates any clause in the Act in good faith! What a crude and cruel joke in the name of fundamental right to education! Clearly, the state desires to lend itself to supporting and protecting the interests of the already powerful private schools than actually bringing in legislation to expand the domain of education. .
For the more than 77% of our population which subsists on less than 20 rupees a day, what else is this Act except a document of deceit and lies a Right to Education turned upside down? .

Making Std. X Board Exams Optional: Will it Relieve Students Stress? .
Will the move to make the Std. X exams optional reduce stress and pressure on children? Educational and exam reform are no doubt called for: the spectre of students committing suicide due to bad marks haunts us. But removing the board exams is like touching the tip of an iceberg and going no further. Even making these exams optional will lead to an increase in the divides in society: what will be the status of students from less fortunate backgrounds who by not doing this exam will be underrated by society? The stress caused by the board exams has a lot to do with the fact that opportunities for higher education and employment are so few and highly contested. So long as opportunities remain limited, and exams exist as a mode of elimination rather than evaluation, students will continue to feel stressed wondering whether they will make it to college or a good job. .

Foreign universities: Shining Shops for Education .
As the mess in the deemed universities becomes clear, the HRD ministry has an innovative solution: it is time to invite foreign players onto the scene. On the cards is the Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and Operations, Maintenance of Quality and Prevention of Commercialisation) Bill, first cleared by the cabinet in February 2007. It is said to be one of the first files Sibal requested upon assuming office. Sibal, shamefully, tried to exploit the assaults on Indian students in Australia to tout the entry of foreign universities in India. .
Who will foreign and private players cater to? .
As Sibal himself admits, only 160,000 students have the means or ability to go abroad and study each year. It follows that the large numbers of students who remain have to make do with an Indian education. Pandering to the upper middle class and elite constituency as if they alone have the right to education. Sibals moves do nothing to improve the quality of education for the many, but cater only to the select, privileged few. .

Will the best foreign universities come to India? .
It is a simple fact that any foreign university that sets itself up here, at such a distance, will come with the intention of making profit and gaining control over the market for higher education. Philip Altbach, director of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College, USA, points out that foreign providers are usually not top universities, but are rather institutions at the middle or bottom of the hierarchy in their home countries. Some have .
