Qualitative Changes in Higher Education
with a focus on Values in Education
PROF. V. VISWANADHAM
3
Why talk about Quality
4
The overall scenario of higher education in
India does not match with the global Quality
standards.
5
In a competitive world particularly in the
context of globalization only Quality
assures greater mobility with better acceptance.
And thus the secret of success is QUALITY. No
way except to compete with the Best and
honestly try to become better than the best.
6
Will the changes particularly qualitative
changes come about on their own or should be
consciously initiated
7
It was in 2007
8
Our university system is in many parts in a
state of disrepair... almost two-third of our
universities and 90 per cent of our colleges are
rated as below average on quality parameters...
I am concerned that in many states university
appointments including that of
vice-chancellors have been politicised and have
become subject to caste and communal
considerations there are complaints of
favouritism and corruption. Who said this
9
Our Prime Minister Sri Manmohan Singh
10
Now it is 2011
11
Do you feel that things have IMPROVED
12
If not why not
13
Who is responsible
14
Collectively we all are responsible

• Global Financial Integrity a Washington based
  think tank has been spirited out of the country
  
• hard cash lying in banks overseas.

Patriotismis beingquality consciousand being
committedto giving qualityin everything
wethink say and do.
21
When quantitative expansion is stressed for
whatever reasons and however justified Quality
is the first thing that suffers. In a country
with such diversity challenges in social
fabric fuelled by political ambitions with
compulsions of coalition politics no wonder
quality becomes the first to be compromised /
sacrificed.
22
The question is can we afford At What
price With what consequences What has to be
done What can be done Are we willing to do
our bit
23
Hidden variables of education
quality Ensuring equal opportunities
stimulating development of positive attitudes
supporting promotion of citizenship values and
human face of post-industrial knowledge
society.
24
Who are the stakeholders The University
The Teachers The Students The Support Staff The
Parents The Intellectuals The Industry The
Society in general
25
Surely a lot has been done and a lot more is
in the pipeline. The question is how serious
are we Why is it we are not collectively
speaking demonstrating the necessary
seriousness Why a general slackness has set
in Why the love for quick money Why the
get-rich-quick-at-any-cost attitude gaining
ground Why the degeneration in values Why the
lack of concern for the fellow human being
26

27
How to IMPROVE Quality
Syllabus must be continuously updated - once in
a year and each year a list of suggested
readings of the latest articles from
journals must be provided to help students
easily update their knowledge. With all the
technological developments it would not be
difficult to use internet surely a low-cost
alternative.
28
How to IMPROVE Quality
Industry-Institution Interaction to be
considerably increased to ensure turning
out creative constructive and employable
personnel with value orientation.
29
How to IMPROVE Quality
Emphasis to be laid on Life-long continuous
quality learning as a way of living.
30
How to IMPROVE Quality
Semester system must be introduced right from
the 102 stage in all disciplines. This would
make both the students and the faculty more
serious.
31
Now let us focus On Values in Education

EDUCATION
IS THE CULTURAL REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
OF THE SOCIETY
37
Education A Debt due from present
generations to future generations
38
The process of evolution from ignorance to
knowledge from knowledge to wisdom and from
wisdom to understanding of consciousness takes
place through EDUCATION
39
EDUCATION is the most powerful weapon which you
can use to change the world. It is the spinal
cord of the society. In a democratic polity the
sustenance of cultured governance is dependent
upon the enlightenment of the population through
proper education

QUALITY

41
EDUCATION IS A CRUCIAL TOOL TO EMPOWER
PEOPLE ONLY A WORTHWHILE EDUCATION CAN DO
THIS ARE WE ABLE TO IMPART QUALITY EDUCATION TO
ALL WITHOUT ANY DISTINCTION EDUCATION MUST
HELP EVERY CITIZEN TO REALISE HIS POTENTIAL

42
We the teaching fraternity has a lot to do -
In a completely rational society the best of
us would aspire to be Teachers and the rest of
us would have to settle for something
else because passing Civilization along from
one generation to the next ought to be the
highest honour and the highest responsibility
anyone could have.

What messages our students are receiving
from the world around them What messages
are we sending in our classrooms
