Measuring Spatiality in Infrastructure and Development of High School Education in Hooghly District of West Bengal, India

Abstract

An increasing access and enrolment do not necessarily ensure school effectiveness or educational progress. They are, of course, other parameters of development of education, rather than being measures of standards of quality education. The present paper opts to scrutinize whether infrastructural development in schools at all ensures good educational development or not. To accomplish this, Education Infrastructural Index has been prepared through Access, Facility and Teacher Index whereas a combination of Enrollment Index and Literacy Index gave rise Educational Development Index. The study reveals that accessibility factor begets a division within rural spaces in the form of backward rural, rural and prosperous rural that manifests through the availability of the teachers and facilities. In the urban areas, wherein accessibility is not a matter of concern, facilities and teachers matter in making difference between the less developed and developed urban areas. The higher Educational Development Index at the non-rural areas indicates town- centric nature of the development of our educational system. Superimposition of the infrastructural and developmental parameters revealed that good infrastructure does not always ensure good educational achievement. In the light of these backdrops, the key purpose of this article is to measuring spatiality in infrastructure and development of high school education in Hooghly District of West Bengal, India.

Studies on Limnological Parameters and their Impact on the Distribution and Diversity of Zooplankton in Anchar Lake, Kashmir

“…Freshwater bodies have become a limited resource due to excessive pollution, overexploitation of water resources, and other domestic activities. [4][5][6][7] Lentic ecosystems such as wetlands, ponds, and lakes sustain a variety of biological communities like phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos, macrophytes, fishes, and aquatic birds. These communities are crucial to the aquatic food web, nutrient cycling, ecosystem flexibility, and ecological balance.…”
