Financing of higher and technical education Education Review and Planning in the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2002-07) Established in March 1950, the Planning Commission of the Government of India formulates Five-Year Plans, which include comprehensive review and planning of educational development. The Tenth Five-Year Plan (2002-07) provides a review of educational progress at all levels over the past five decades. 8 While literacy rate still varies considerably by region and gender, it has risen steadily over the years as the government realizes that the eradication of mass illiteracy not only promotes social justice but fosters economic growth and social stability. Table 2. Literacy Rates 1951-2001 Year Male Female Total 1951 24.95 7.93 16.67 1961 34.44 12.95 24.02 1971 39.45 18.69 29.45 1981 56.50 29.85 43.67 1991 64.13 39.29 52.21 2001 75.85 54.16 65.37 Though the Constitutional goal of universal education of children up to the age of 14 was not attained, the number and rate of enrolment in elementary education have shown substantial growth. Total enrolment at the primary level (Classes 1-5) grew from 19.16 million in 1950-51 to 113.61 million in 1999-2000. The growth at the upper primary level (Classes 6 to 8) in the same period was even more impressive, from 3.12 million to 42.06 million. The percentage share of girls in total enrolment of elementary education also rose significantly, from 28.1 to 43.6 percent. Though the total number of elementary school teachers reached 3.2 million in 1999-2000, an increase of more than five times, it did not keep pace with the increase of student numbers, and the teacher-pupil ratio worsened.

Elementary Education Development, 1950-2000 Year Item 1950-1951 1999-2000 gross enrolment rate primary upper primary 42.6 12.7 94.9 58.8 schools primary upper primary 210,000 13,600 642,000 198,000 teachers 624,000 3.2 million teacher-pupil ratio primary upper primary 1:24 1:20 1:43 1:48 Secondary and higher secondary education (Classes 9-12) prepares young people aged 14 to 18 for employment or higher education. There has been no substantial change in the structure and organization of the secondary and higher secondary education since the National Policy on Education of 1986. Despite the growth in the number of schools, students and teachers, enrolment rate remained low, with slightly less than one third of the population in the 14-18 age group enrolled in secondary and higher secondary schools. The focus of the Tenth Five-Year Plan is therefore to meet the increased demand for secondary and higher secondary education by opening new schools, expanding the capacity of existing schools, upgrading of upper primary schools, and promoting distance education. Table 4. Secondary and Higher Secondary Development, 1950-2000 Year Item 1950-51 1999-2000 schools 7,416 116,820 students 1,500,000 28.21 million teachers 127,000 1,720,000 There has been significant growth in the number of higher education institutions in the past five decades. However, access and equity remains a serious issue, with only 6 percent of the 18-23 age group enrolled in a university or college. The government aims to increase the enrolment to 10 percent by the end of 2007. To help maintain quality and standards in the face of rapid expansion of higher education, the University Grants Commission established the National <strong>Assessment</strong> and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in 1994 as an independent national accreditation body.
