This paper will explore the problems associated with educational reconstruction in post-conflict Cambodia using a globalization theoretical perspective. The main questions to be addressed are: to what extent is globalization influencing education policy development in post-conflict Cambodia? and how have multinational financial agencies influenced the creation and adoption of national education policies in post-conflict Cambodian society? This paper will offer an introduction to globalization theory and provide a policy analysis of recent Cambodian and multinational policy documents and directives. The policy analysis will demonstrate that the agendas of several major multi-national organizations have influenced educational policy in Cambodia due to the country’s continued dependence on foreign monetary assistance for development. Cet article cherche à explorer, par le biais d’une perspective théorique de globalisation, les problèmes issus de la reconstruction du système éducatif après le conflit cambodgien. Les questions principales sont les suivantes : jusqu’à quel point la globalisation influence-t-elle le développement des politiques éducatives et comment les agences financières multinationales ont-elles conditionnées la création et l’adoption de politiques éducatives nationales dans la société cambodgienne d’après guerre ? Cet article introduira la théorie de globalisation et analysera les documents et les directives politiques du Cambodge contemporain. L’analyse politique démontrera que les agendas de plusieurs organisations multinationales ont en effet influencé la politique éducative du Cambodge car le pays est continuellement dépendant financièrement de l’étranger.

This research aims to analyze the dynamics of Pondok Pesantren DDI Mangkoso in accommodating national education policies. The method of this research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach whose data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the research indicate that the status of Pondok Pesantren DDI Mangkoso as a traditional Islamic education institution still existed despite carrying out modern developments by maintaining five roles, namely: the place of transmission of classical Islamic sciences, da’wah institutions, preserving Islamic traditions, the center of reproduction of scholars, and place of community service and development. Changes in the position of pesantren in national education policy during the period 1989-2018 have implications for the education policy of Pondok Pesantren DDI Mangkoso whose dynamics are divided into three stages, namely: institutional transformation, integration of curriculum, and application of a culture-based  inclusive paradigm. The form of accommodation for the national education policy by Pondok Pesantren DDI Mangkoso is the opening of formal education institutions at all levels of education. Various obstacles in the accommodation are the struggle of organizational culture and structure, limited resources, and lack of community participation.

In order to revitalize Indian education system, the Government of India has recently approved National Education Policy-2020 (NEP-2020) and proposed sweeping changes including opening up of Indian higher education to foreign universities, dismantling of the UGC and the AICTE, introduction of a 4-year multidisciplinary undergraduate program with multiple exit options, and discontinuation of the M Phil program. It aims at making ‘India a global knowledge superpower’. In the light of National Education Policy-2020, agricultural education system needs to be redefined in India as it increases knowledge or information and farmer’s capacity to learn. As the level of agricultural education increases, farmers will become more and more self-reliant and will depend more on their self-studies dealing with farming. It is suggested that reorientation of agricultural higher education in context of globalization, food security, diversification, sustainability of ecosystems, and agribusiness is necessary. The curriculum of agricultural higher education needs to be made more broad based and manpower has to be trained scientifically in topics such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, agro-meteorology, environmental science, agro-ecology, computer application, information technology, conservation of natural and human resources, specialized job-oriented courses, and trade and export in agribusiness. Finally, adequate emphasis should be placed on practical skills and entrepreneurial capabilities among the students to achieve excellence. To properly address the challenges faced by today’s Indian agriculture, competent human resource in sufficiently large numbers would be required in the near future. There is a vast scope for young graduates to undertake agriculture as their profession which is directly or indirectly contributing to the economic and social development of the country.

This paper examines the widespread perception in India that the country has an acute teacher shortage of about one million teachers in public elementary schools, a view repeated in India’s National Education Policy 2020. Using official DISE data, we show that there is hardly any net teacher deficit in the country since there is roughly the same number of surplus teachers as the number of teacher vacancies. Secondly, we show that measuring teacher requirements after removing the estimated fake students from enrolment data greatly reduces the required number of teachers and increases the number of surplus teachers, yielding an estimated net surplus of about 342,000 teachers. Thirdly, we show that if we both remove fake enrolment and also make a suggested hypothetical change to the teacher allocation rule to adjust for the phenomenon of emptying public schools (which has slashed the national median size of public schools to a mere 64 students, and rendered many schools ‘tiny’), the estimated net teacher surplus is about 764,000 teachers. Fourthly, we highlight that if government does fresh recruitment to fill the supposed nearly one-million vacancies as promised in the National Education Policy 2020, the already modest national mean pupil-teacher-ratio of 22.8 would fall to 15.9, at a permanent fiscal cost of nearly Rupees 480 billion (USD 6.6 billion) per year in 2017-18 prices, which is higher than the individual GDPs of 56 countries in that year. The paper highlights the major economic efficiencies that can result from an evidence-based approach to teacher recruitment and deployment policies.
