The Governor, the Chief Minister and the Minister of Higher Education all addressed the Conference and about 150 people attended the event. Subsequently, four regional Conclaves were organized, in which a total of more than 400 people participated, representing the leadership, administrators, faculty and students at universities and colleges across the State. This represents an impressive outreach to the sector stakeholders. This report is written on the cusp of the publication of the Government of India s 12th Five Year Plan. The indications are that the Government of India intends to push ahead with some significant reforms in the higher education sector. Of particular significance for this report is the emphasis, for the first time, on the need to support the improvement of State universities and colleges. The objective of this report is to provide policy makers in Madhya Pradesh with a menu of options for improving the equity, governance and financing of the higher education system in the State. Though the primary audience is policy makers, this report could serve as part of the continued dialogue with the higher education sector on the direction for reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC AFFAIRSACADEMIC AUTONOMYACADEMIC COUNCILACADEMIC POSITIONSACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATIONACCREDITATIONADULTSAGE GROUPASSISTANT PROFESSORSBACKGROUND PAPERSCHEMISTRYCIVIL SERVICECOLLEGE MANAGEMENTCOLLEGE TEACHERSCOLLEGESCOMMENCEMENTSCONSULTATIVE PROCESSCULTURAL DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUMCURRICULUM REVISIONDECISION MAKINGDEGREE COURSESDEGREESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSDISTANCE LEARNINGDISTANCE MODEDROPOUT RATEECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION DEPARTMENTEDUCATION DEPARTMENTSEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION GOVERNANCEEDUCATION MANAGEMENTEDUCATION OF GIRLSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION STATISTICSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEFFECTIVE PARTICIPATIONEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENT FIGURESENROLLMENT OF BOYSENROLLMENT OF STUDENTSENROLLMENT RATESENROLLMENT RATIOEQUAL ACCESSEQUITABLE ACCESSEXAMINATION PERFORMANCEEXPENDITURESFACULTIESFACULTY DEVELOPMENTFACULTY POSITIONSFEE INCOMEFEMALE ENROLLMENTFORMAL SCHOOLINGGENDER-SENSITIVEGERGIRLSGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEGRADUATE LEVELGRADUATE STUDENTSGRADUATION RATESGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOGROSS ENROLMENTGROSS ENROLMENT RATIOHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER EDUCATION QUALIFICATIONSHIGHER EDUCATION REFORMHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHIGHER ENROLLMENTHIGHER LEARNINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESIMPROVING ACCESSINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONINTELLECTUAL COMMUNITYINTERVENTIONSJOB OPPORTUNITIESLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKET OUTCOMESLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING PROCESSLEARNING RESOURCESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLITERACYLITERACY RATELITERATURELOW ENROLMENTLOWER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONMATHEMATICSMEDICAL COLLEGESMORAL VALUESNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION POLICYNERNET ATTENDANCE RATIONET ENROLLMENTNET ENROLLMENT RATIONUMBER OF STUDENTSOCCUPATIONSOUT OF SCHOOL CHILDRENPAPERSPARTICIPATION RATESPER CAPITA INCOMEPHYSICSPOLYTECHNICSPRIMARY DATAPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROFESSORSPROVISION OF EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGQUALITY STUDENTSQUALITY TEACHINGRESEARCH ENVIRONMENTRURAL AREASRURAL GIRLSSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL EDUCATIONSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY LEVELSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSENIOR SECONDARY LEVELSIGNIFICANT IMPACTSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUSSPORTSSTATE UNIVERSITIESSTRATEGIC PLANNINGSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT SUPPORTTEACHERTEACHER SELECTIONTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING-LEARNINGTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRADITIONAL UNIVERSITIESTUITIONTUITION FEETUITION FEESUNDERGRADUATE COURSESUNDERGRADUATESUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORSUNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTSUNIVERSITY GRANTSUNIVERSITY LEVELUNIVERSITY REFORMURBAN AREASWORK PARTICIPATIONWORKERSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHReportWorld Bank10.1596/26451
