This book offers a cutting-edge contribution on the importance of secondary education
and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of its growth in India. Secondary education,
long neglected, faces countless challenges and will require tremendous financial resources,
millions of additional trained teachers, and vast infrastructure in terms of buildings,
laboratories, libraries, ICT facilities, etc. The book examines these critical issues,
with particular reference to the situation in India. It analyses the status quo of
secondary education and discusses the strategies and approaches needed in order to
universalize it. Including 20 chapters authored by eminent scholars in the field and
from across the country, this book gathers the outcomes of a seminar organized by
the Council for Social Development on Universalization of Secondary Education. The
target audience includes policymakers, practitioners, administrators, education planners,
researchers, teachers, and teacher educators with an interest in the future of secondary
education
