Q: Implementation of environment education.

Answer: Environmental education is a process that allows individuals to explore environmental issues, engage in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, individuals develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions. Q: Demand side pressures.

Answer: In many countries, education is viewed as an important way to gain social and economic advancement. Therefore, the demand for education is high, and if governments cannot afford to provide and fund quality education, then parent seeks private suppliers. This type of demand is ‘excess demand’, over and above what is provided by the government. In addition, many parents want for their children an education different from that offered in public schools. This is ‘differentiated demand’ and it may encourage privatization across all three sectors. Q: Systematic research and population studies.

Answer: Systematic research – investigations that might survey, for example the relevant literature concerning the nature of the learner and his learning context.

Population education is not an attempt to develop a new discipline. Although demography and folk demography form the core of knowledge needed for population education, they do not cover the whole range of issues involved. Q: Forms of privatization.

Q: What is Madrassa Education?

Answer: The term ‘Madrassa’ originates from the Arabic word ‘Darasa’ which means ‘To Study’. Madrassa, in general, is referred to a school that imparts Knowledge.

The main subjects of Madrassa Education include:

  1. Qur’an

Q: Discuss demands of Madaris reforms.

Answer: Since 1999, the issue of madaaris reforms has been negotiated between the government and the administrations of wafaqs or boards. It is not clear what development has been made so far. Madaaris are major societal institutions. They have ardent followers, and thus they can play vital roles for reforms of society, but they do not pay much attention to the society besides influencing religion. It remains to be seen how madaaris can play a positive role for promoting peace and harmony in the society.

Q: What is Privatization?

Answer: ‘Privatization’ is also thought of as‘liberalization’ --- where agents are freed from government regulations, or as ‘marketization’ --- where new markets are created as alternatives to government services or state allocation systems.
