Question

Q.2 Read the passage given below. 1. Out of the staggering andunt of money that the state and central government spenal on higher education, fifty per cent is wasted due to fifty per cent failures in the university examinations all over the country, There is a single strong reason why a university degree should be paid for in full by the student himself. 2. This thinking has been gathering momentum since January 1986, when the pay scales of college and university teachers were revised and which put an additional burden of more than a hundred crores on the University Grants Commission and the state governments. Arcars to the tune of 5,000 to 22,000 were given to all teachers in most of the 150 universities and 5,000 colleges of the country. Because of the enhanced salary and dearness allowance, which is revised every January and July, the government expenditure on higher education las almost doubled during the last five years. 3. As against this, the tuition fees have remained static since Independence (with minimal revisions last year). Not that the governments did not consider the question of raising them, but the threat of student agitation and political unpopularity proved a hurdle too strong to surmount. Consequently, there is now a yawning gap between what a college student pays and what the state spends op him. 4. According to UGC sources, a student pays rupees 200, 250 and 325 per annum for education in arts, a commerce and science respectively, whereas the government subsidy amounts to Rupees 2800, 3400 and 4200 annually. This includes the expenditure incurred by some trust managed colleges which according to the rules of the states in which they function, comes to 5 per cent to 3 per cent. But as most of the colleges have found ways to evade even this responsibility, the ultimate burden falls on the governments themselves. 5. A way out of the imbroglio was thought out in recent years. The Human Resources Development Ministry floated the concept of autonomous colleges. After much public debate it was decided that some hundred colleges should be granted autonomy to begin with. Now about 90 colleges are autonomous. They are making appointments, framing their own syllabi and conducting examinations, but have not yet been able to muster up courage to enhance fees. They continue to cive maintenance grants from the state coffers. 6. Under the circumstances, the concept of self-financing higher education seems to be a remote dream. Secondly, as most of the university campuses are politically alive and financially bankrupt, the goverament will have to continue paying them their annual grants. Suddenly, converting them into self- financing institutions has become impossible. It is a different matter if the states start a new set of educational institutions as totally self-financed. But who will bear the huge initial expenditure--the parents or the government? (a) On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, make notes on it using beadings and sub-headings.
