The year 1987-88, having been the first effective year of implementation of National Policy of Education (NPE), 1986, and resource constraints having emerged in a significant way, the CABE should go into how the Policy could be implemented as originally envisaged. New bodies like the all India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) and the National Literacy Mission Authority (NIMA) had come into existence. The National Council of Higher Education and Joint Council of Vocational Education were being established. So, systems should be brought into force for getting reports to CABE from these bodies even is reports being furnished by CABE's own Committees. About Rs.340 crores had been provided to the States during 1987-88 for implementation of NPE Schemes. States had considerable carry-over funds out of this. An equal amount would be provided during the current year (1988-89). Effective use of these funds by the States should be urged and discussed by the CABE.
4. The Minister for Human Resource Development, then, gave
2
his address. He observed that Education was central to human resource development and that, after adoption of the ME, the role of CABE had become much more crucial. Education, having, been brought, under the concurrent subject, the Centre and the States had come to share responsibilities. States should prepare reports of implementation of NPE and furnish the same. The question of monitoring of implementation of NPE had also been discussed by the State Education Secretaries and Directors, on 12th September, 1988. The Minister also presented, briefly, the principal recommendations of the CABE Committees, referring to the following:
Elementary Education - Continued funding of Operation Blackboard, NFE, etc. Schemes during the VIII Plan.
- Continued funding, significantly, of Operation Blackboard from NREP/RLEGP.
- Careful monitoring of progress towards Universalisation of Elementary Education.
Housing - Construction of cluster of houses in rural/urban areas.

3
Vocationalisation - States should exhibit greater progress, considering that 1000 Schools had been covered: 3000 courses approved; and Rs.32 crores provided.

- Survey to be undertaken of third language teaching.
5. The Minister mentioned that three CABE Committees could not meet since March, 1988, and that they should come into systematic action too.
6. Calling upon the need for quality improvement in Higher and Technical Education, the Minister wanted the AICTE and UGC to perform a close supervisory role.

- Ten percent of Plan allocation should be for education as
5
envisaged in early stages by personalities like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
- System of capitation fees in the academic would should be put an end to.
- Vidyasagar University in West Bengal should be provided resources by UGC without insistence on removal of statutory provisions for the University's democratic system of governance.
15. Prof. Yashpal (Chairman (UGC) presented the following suggestions to CABE:
- While Education should be Indianised, it should also adapt itself to the changes in the world, Autonomy for academic institutions becomes relevant in this context;
- Non-viable colleges should be strongly discouraged by the States themselves;
- Existing colleges should be upgraded;
- Education should be connected with all sections of the society; it should be a societal system; and
- Passion for implementation of NPE should be kept alive by acting on the spirit of the Policy.
16. Education Minister of Kerala made the following observations:
- without adequate finances, NPE schemes cannot be implemented;
- While education has become a concurrent subject, responsibilities are yet to truly become concurrent;
- Performance of AICTE, it should be ensured, does not become availably obstructionists;
- Survey is being made in Kerala of literacy levels covering people upto 50 years of age with the help of University students and KANFED;
6
- Vocationalisation Scheme of Kerala deserves to be cleared by the Government of India in quick time; employment for vocational graduates still remains a problem;
- Three language formula should be seriously implemented in CBSE affiliated institutions;
- Centres of excellence identified in existing institutions should be encouraged and developed
- While Kerala has high literacy rate, Technical/Technological institutions in Kerala are not commensurate, in terms of numbers, to the level. of school going population (while Kerala is literate it is not necessarily educated);
- Proposal of Kerala government to set up three Polytechnics and a women's polytechnic should be cleared by Govt. of India. Certain other Projects of Kerala are pending too. Delays should be avoided;
- Finance Commission's recommendation for funds for school buildings does not cover Kerala and,hence,measures for assisting Kerala are required.
Education Minister, Kerala also thanked the Chairman, UGC for according full recognition to Mahatma Gandhi University.
17. According to Education Minister, Karnataka, Methods of teaching, and books produced should be interesting to the school children
18. Education Minister of UP mentioned the following:
- Emphasis given for Elementary Education and Adult Education has indeed been the right approach; Pre- Primary education should be given importance too by integrated on and co-ordinated action as between Education and Health and Family Welfare Departments; efforts could be made to Provide access for education through ICDs projects Anganwadis.
- Secondary schools for girls should be established;Women's Polytechnics are important too.
7

22. Further, he reminded that Sanskrit education also deserved financial assistance
23. Rajasthan being a very vast state with a large population, according to him, also deserved Technical Education institutions including Polytechnics.

Shri Kanti Biswas mentioned that ever 2000 researchers were going out of India, half of them to U.S.A., and were not returning to India either. (Prof. Ashok Chandra clarified that the organisation TIFAC could help in identifying technologies which would have pollution implications so as to avoid picking them up. According to him, only development of research infrastructure could help the halting of brain drain over a period. He also referred to researchers going abroad for personal gains and better living). Prof. Yash Pal wanted performance in the area of research, cutting across departments. The national Research Council/ Foundation should play an integrating role in this respect. It is not so much a question of merely creating an institution, Prof, Yash Pal also referred, in this context, to inter-University Centres. The crux of the matter was accessibility to the existing research facilities for the best of talents. in the country.
31. Then, the group report on Adult Education was presented. A copy of their group report is Presented in Annexure 6.

42. According to Shri Ramlal Parikh three-language formula didn't got implemented in the case of persons who have education outside the formal school system--like for example those having post-basic education. In a sense, according to him, three language learning, with emphasis in English, inhibits access to education provision of which is also one of the objectives of the Policy.
10
Education Secretary clarified that provision under the formula is only for testing competence in Hindi in non-Hindi areas and in a non-Hindi, preferably South Indian Language, in Hindi areas. Migration of teachers would be needed too.
43. According to Shri Raghavachari, Hindi was yet to be developed, reflecting the cultural integrity of India. This was needed for effective implementation of the three-language formula.

48. Shri M.R. Kolhatkar, Adviser, Planning Commission said that usually expenditure on schemes granted in a plan are passed on as liability of States at the end of the Plan and continued funding of schemes in the VIII Plan has to be consistent with All India Policy on the matter.

49. It was generally agreed that the entire question of value education would be remitted to a CABE Committee. 50. The Group report on education of "SC/ST and disadvantages came to be presented next (for copy Annexure 9 may be seen).

(Dr. Chattopadhyaya).
- For UEE, local authorities should be deeply involved; a machinery for redressal of grievances of teachers has to be established; RLEGP/NREP funding. of School buildings should be Centrally ensured. [ Education secretary wanted appropriate decisions at State level itself for draft of funds from RLBGP/NREP resources released to the State]
(Education Secretary, Tamil Nadu)
