  • congruence between national policy for science and humanities Enrolment Ratio and labour market demand in ghana
    Educational Research Review, 2013
    Co-Authors: Goski Alabi, Joshua Alabi, Ibrahim Mohammed
    Abstract:

    The paper undertook a snapshot of the demand for various academic programmes on the labour market and compared this with national policy norms for Enrolment in public universities in Ghana. The objective was to ascertain whether national higher education Enrolments are responsive to the national policy target of 60:40 (Sciences : Humanities) or responsive to labour market needs.  The study employed an exploratory mix-method design based on reviews of existing works, survey of job advertisements and data on Enrolments. In all 120 issues of a widely-circulated newspaper was perused for job advertisements and 2536 job advertisements were recorded.   The results suggests that Enrolments in public universities in Ghana are not in consonance with the national policy targets of 60:40 (Science: Humanities) respectively but in line with market demand. The study found that at undergraduate level Enrolment Ratios for Sciences and Humanities were 35:65 in 2002 with a corresponding market demand of 34:66 and 39: 61 in 2010 as against the market demand of 39:61. The detailed analysis of the survey results further points out that Enrolments in various academic programmes also reflect labour market needs and realities  but national policy norm deviates from these realities. The stricken match between Enrolment and market demand requires further attention that will realign the policy target with the reality or vice versa. This will require a comprehensive data collection and analysis on demand for academic programmes as this was found to be non-existing in the country. Key words: Academic Programming, Labour Market Demands   Key words: Academic programming, labour market demands

  • Trade liberalisation and industrial growth in Pakistan: a cointegRation analysis
    2020
    Co-Authors: Dilip Dutta, Nasiruddin Ahmed
    Abstract:

    Using the framework of an endogenous growth model, this paper empirically analyses the relationship between trade policies and industrial growth in Pakistan during the period 1973 - 1995. The cointegRation and error correction modelling approaches have been applied. The empirical results suggest that there exists a unique long-run relationship among the aggregate growth function of industrial value added and its major determinants of the real capital stock, the labour force, real exports, the import tariff collection rate and the secondary school Enrolment Ratio. The short -term dynamic behaviour of Pakistan's growth function of industrial value added has been investigated by estimating an error correction model in which the error correction term has been found to be correctly signed and statistically significant.

  • Trade liberalization and endogenous growth of manufacturing industries in Bangladesh: an empirical investigation
    Applied Economics, 2003
    Co-Authors: Nasiruddin Ahmed
    Abstract:

    Using the framework of an endogenous growth model, this paper empirically analyses the relation between trade policies and industrial growth in Bangladesh during the period 1974-1996. The cointegRation and error correction modelling approaches have been applied. The empirical results suggest that there exists a unique cointegral relation between the index of industrial production and its major determinants of investment-GDP Ratio, average share of exports in GDP and secondary school Enrolment Ratio. The short-term dynamic behaviour of Bangladesh's industrial production has been investigated by estimating an error correction model in which the error correction term has been found to be correctly signed and statistically significant. The findings of the study show that investment share in GDP, export share in GDP (lagged four quarters), secondary school Enrolment Ratio, and average collection of customs duty (lagged six quarters) have all emerged as significant determinants of industrial production in Bangladesh.

  • SCs and STs at School Level in India: Who Holds a Better Position?
    Indian journal of applied research, 2016
    Co-Authors: Rahul Kundal
    Abstract:

    The present paper tends to seek the position of SCs and STs at schools in terms of attaining education. Education is one of the important measures in upliftment of the socially backward and marginalised groups in the society. It envisages carrying out a comparative study in terms of Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) and Drop-Out Rates (DOR) of SCs and STs at schools. The GER has been rising in case of both SCs and STs. The DOR has been declining for both SCs and STs at school level in India in the recent times.It will remain important to see which community is ahead of the other in terms of attaining education at school level.

    Paripex Indian Journal Of Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Rahul Kundal
    Abstract:

    There has been a rising trend in Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in education sector of India in the past times. It has been increasing at primary, secondary and tertiary levels of educational attainment. The present study aims at explaining the trend of GER in higher education sector (HES) of India from the year 2001-02 to the year 2012-13. It tends to observe the trends of GER in HES of India in case of both boys and girls who are enrolled in higher education in India during the time period of the study. The present study shall try to recommend certain policy implications for further improving the GER in HES in India.

  • Poor Affordability and Low Access to Primary Education with special reference to Eastern Uttar Pradesh: Reflections from DISE Data
    Asian Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Humanities, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rosy Sulochana
    Abstract:

    “Access to basic education” continues to be a matter of serious concern in India. While the quantitative expansion of the system appears to be very impressive, the achievement of the goal of universalisation of primary education has still remained elusive. This is because the government continues its celebRation through reflecting on increased access to the basic facilities, based on apparent increase in Enrolment-Ratios, literacy rate and other infrastructural facilities; a deeper look reveals the progress to be grossly un-satisfactory. Availability of education facilities and attainment reflected in the form of increase in literacy rate, Enrolment Ratio, availability of educational infrastructure etc. cannot ensure access, as these facilities are beyond reach of the vulnerable section still fighting a grim battle to make their both ends meet. Although the government has provided free education to the children making the direct cost of education minimal, yet there are high indirect cost i.e., cost on books, stationery, examination fee, transportation, uniform, bags, etc. as well as opportunity cost i.e., the loss of wages to parents when the child is sent for schooling, which have not been taken into consideRation by the government while subsidizing education. Therefore, instead of relying on availability alone, the issue of affordability needs to be equally stressed upon. The present paper highlights the issue as to whether mere creating the facilities and providing free education ensures access in real sense. It attempts to measure affordability in access to primary education in Uttar Pradesh with the help of DISE data for the year 2013–14.
