Emerging Issues in Education English Medium For 5th Semester Gauhati University By Dr. Sunita Agarwalla UBP

Emerging Issues in Education (English Medium, 5th Semester, Gauhati University) by Dr. Sunita Agarwalla, published by University Book Publishing, is tailored to the UG curriculum for Education majors under Gauhati University’s FYUGP. This 4‑credit text dives into contemporary educational challenges unfolding at national, state, and local levels.

Spanning five thematic units, the book begins with Social Inequality in Education, covering constitutional safeguards and barriers faced by marginalized communities—including SC/ST, minorities, and children from impoverished regions like Assam’s Char areas—as well as issues like gender imbalance and rural‑urban disparity.

Unit 2 focuses on Liberalization, Privatization & Globalization, exploring how shifts like PPPs and viewing education as an economic investment influence quality, equity, and access . The third unit delves into Student‑oriented issues—youth unrest, campus disturbances, exam anxiety, and educated unemployment—analyzing their root causes and proposing remedial strategies.

Unit 4 emphasizes Environmental & Population Education, discussing global warming, ozone depletion, pollution, and the importance of stakeholder-driven sustainable development initiatives and population control education . Finally, Unit 5 addresses Multi‑cultural & Alternative Education, outlining the need for inclusive multicultural curricula, roles of institutions such as NIOS, IGNOU, KKHSOU, and the rise of MOOCs.

Each section combines theoretical insights with practical perspectives, aligning with course objectives and equipping students to critically engage with India’s evolving educational landscape. Recommended readings are included for deeper study.
