Extract from the CPI(M) Manifesto 2019.
CPI (M) will work for:
Education
• Public expenditure on education to be 6 per cent of GDP.
• Steps to remove communal content in education and text books. Ensure no Vice-Chancellors or key personnel in State funded institutions have anti-secular views.
• Academic excellence and professional competence will be the sole criteria for all appointments to bodies like Universities, the Indian Council for Historical Research, Indian Council for Social Science Research, University Grants Commission, National Council for Educational Research and Training, etc. A review committee of experts will be set up to address the communalisation of the school syllabus.
• Establishing a Common School Education System; stop closure or merger of government schools; upgrade government schools on the Kerala model.
• Implementing the Right to Education Act to provide free and compulsory elementary education; amending the RTE to institutionalise the concept of neighborhood schooling, extending it beyond the elementary level and providing free education for all continuing students; ensuring every school is RTE compliant by 2022.
• Expanding secondary education to reduce dropouts and making it universal; improving quality of education and infrastructure in SSA schools, allowing flexibility of rules, timing and other aspects to ensure retention of girl students and pupils in backward areas and for otherwise marginalized groups.
• Set-up Gender Sensitisation Committees Against Sexual Harassment in university and college campuses.
• Enacting legislation to regulate fees, admissions and curricula in private educational institutions.
• No FDI in higher education.
• Formulating progressive and democratic curriculum and syllabi at all levels of education in a way that recognizes India’s social and cultural diversity.
• Regularise teachers currently employed as contract or para teachers.
• Ensuring democratic rights of students, teachers and non-teaching staff in all educational institutions; students’ union elections to be made mandatory in all higher educational institutions.
• Stop attacks on the autonomy of higher education institutions.
• Enhance public funding for higher education.
