About Lesson
ii. The Subramanian Panel report

Subramanian Panel is a committee set up by the Government of India to review the education sector in the country and to make recommendations for reform. The panel released its report in 2017, outlining a range of recommendations for improving the education sector in India. 

Here are some key points on the Subramanian Panel report on education in India:

Increased funding

One of the main recommendations of the Subramanian Panel report is the need for increased funding for the education sector. The report recommends that the government of India increase its spending on education to 6% of gross domestic product (GDP), up from the current level of around 4%. This increased funding would be used to improve the quality and accessibility of education, particularly for disadvantaged and marginalized groups.

Quality of education

The Subramanian Panel report also emphasizes the need to improve the quality of education in India. The report recommends a range of measures to improve the quality of education, including the training and professional development of teachers, the use of technology to enhance learning, and the provision of quality infrastructure and materials.

Equity

Another key recommendation of the Subramanian Panel report is the need to address equity in education. The report highlights the significant disparities in the quality of education between different regions and socio-economic groups and recommends measures to address these inequalities, such as targeted funding and interventions for disadvantaged groups.

Teachers

The Subramanian Panel report also highlights the importance of teachers in improving the education sector in India. The report recommends measures to improve the recruitment, training, and professional development of teachers, including the establishment of a National Teachers Commission.

Higher education

The Subramanian Panel report also addresses the issues facing the higher education sector in India. The report recommends measures to improve the quality and accessibility of higher education, including the expansion of online learning, the establishment of a national accreditation system, and the promotion of research and innovation.
