PPP model in education sector from 2011

In a bid to ensure implementation of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model in the country's education sector from 2011, the Government on Friday set up three committees to finalise the nitty gritty of the entire process.

The three committees would deal with issues like the guidelines for implementation of the Government's ambitious project, the academic levels to be taken care of, extent of cooperation between the Government and the private sector among others. The decision was taken at a meeting of the members of the Round Table on School Education on Public Private Partnership, set up by the HRD Ministry.

In all, the Government plans to set up 6,000 model schools, of which 2,500 will be under the PPP mode, from the next academic session. The Centre has maintained that the 2,500 proposed schools will be better than the Government ones and has even come out with its concept note on involving the private sector to give a major boost to the primary education sector.

"The Government has come closer to finalise the PPP mode. Nevertheless, the vexed issue of the extent of Government's financial burden still remains to be fully resolved. It will take some time before the differences between the two sides are sorted out," sources said.
