ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Currently, there are more than 230 countries in this competitive world. Among those, most of them are still developing and under-developing, in which 80% of the world population lives, except the countries like USA, UK, Japan, Switzerland, etc. A country which has an increasing phase in GDP per capita, Economy and ability of self production is said to be a developing country. But, there are some factors affecting them, such as, rapid growth in population, increase in poverty and lack of industries which leads to increase in foreign investment, which means that, a country should be self-developing in order to attain the developed status. So the country should have more industries to be self produced. More industries lead to more job opportunity and more employment. In the present scenario of globalisation, privatization and liberalisation one should be quite alert and competitive in human resources. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in the age group of 16 + years is very low and most of the young generation is away from the main stream of education may be because of the education system, examination pattern, competency of teaching faculty and the level of knowledge received at previous stages. Hence, it is necessary to provide W-Class institutions to produce highly competent engineers with advanced knowledge, research aptitude and employability. A modest effort is made here to suggest a step towards W-Class Institutes.
