Education in the UPA Government Common Minimum Programme

On the whole there is very little that is new on education in the Common Minimum Programme and hence it does not really contain an exciting set of proposals. But since it outlines the priorities of the UPA government, one has to take serious note of it. Being a mix of social, economic and poitical priorities, the document outlines some issues clearly, some vaguely, some less coherently and some are wanting in critical detail. Many important issues have been conveniently ignored altogether. Perhaps a CMP of a coalition cannot be otherwise.
