Summary: | In October 2010, the Government of
Madhya Pradesh hosted, with World Bank technical advice, a
Conference on higher education reform in the State. The
Governor, the Chief Minister and the Minister of Higher
Education all addressed the Conference and about 150 people
attended the event. Subsequently, four regional Conclaves
were organized, in which a total of more than 400 people
participated, representing the leadership, administrators,
faculty and students at universities and colleges across the
State. This represents an impressive outreach to the sector
stakeholders. This report is written on the cusp of the
publication of the Government of India s 12th Five Year
Plan. The indications are that the Government of India
intends to push ahead with some significant reforms in the
higher education sector. Of particular significance for this
report is the emphasis, for the first time, on the need to
support the improvement of State universities and colleges.
The objective of this report is to provide policy makers in
Madhya Pradesh with a menu of options for improving the
equity, governance and financing of the higher education
system in the State. Though the primary audience is policy
makers, this report could serve as part of the continued
dialogue with the higher education sector on the direction
for reform. |
