educationBy: priya | Monday , 22 Dec '08 7:57:54 AM Reply | Forward Funny thing, we all realise the ciriticality of the educations system - but how come politically we end up with the slowest moving clods in this area - Arjun Singh and Murli Manohar Joshi. Maybe because we actually pay lip-service to this entire area.

Efficiency NOT CompensationBy: Mahesh | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 15:04:16 PM Reply | Forward Jerry! Great thought here. I am not sure if increasing compensation 10 fold or paying Amartya Sen 1 crore is a realistic solution, as it does not seem sustainable. Look at US universities during crisis/downturn and even part-time instructor funds are being snatched away by reduction in State budgets.In India, we have more of an efficiency problem than one of compensation. I liked what your kid had proposed - "we should pay teachers better and, if need be, link their performance to outcomes. Those teachers who get better pass rates among their students should be rewarded more than teachers who don’t bother to teach and who get dismal results." Maybe thats exactly what we need to do. Pay according to performance. Something that corporates in India are learning too.
