one cannot function without the other. Teacher empowerment takes the form of providing
teachers with a significant role in decisions making, control over their work environment and
conditions, and opportunities to serve in a range of professional roles. The teacher as a
stakeholder is expected to possess the professional knowledge to lead the students in instruction.

that their children will receive a quality education, which will enable the children to lead
productive rewarding lives as adults in a global society. Parents bring a valuable quality to the
educational experience of their children because they may better understand their own children

eating practices, and their personal safety and general welfare.
• Role of the Central Government in the Financing of Education
• Since independence, the Central Government has been spending increasing amount of money
on education.
• The following are the important reasons for this increase.

providing compulsory primary education in the age group 6 to 14

opportunities.

65 percent, is born by the States.
• There are usually two approaches adopted in the preparation of plans for national development.
However the main objective of each approach is to get the most and best educational results for
the effort expended and to maximise education’s contribution to each individual and to the
whole society.
• The following are the two main approaches which determine the allocation of resources. Both,
however are interlinked and one cannot be separated form the other.
(i) Social Considerations : Under the first approach, the educational goals of a country are first
determined with reference to its past traditions, comparison with advanced countries and
the needs of the new society which it desires to create. The financial implications of these
goals are then worked out, and an attempt is made to raise the funds needed for educational
development.
