abstract = {Educational planning in India even after three decades of planning
suffers from several pitfalls, even though the role of education in socio-economic
and political development of the country had been clearly recognized at the
inception of planning itself. One of the important features of Indian education is
its inherent inequalitarian nature. Educational facilities are unequally
distributed among the socio-economic, sex, regional, caste, and occupational groups
of the population. In this paper after briefly discussing the concept of inequality
in education, the author analyses inequality by caste in schools–inequality in
educational opportunity, and inequality in educational attainments, and the
resulting inequalities outside the schools in the society in the attainment of
occupational and economic positions. The author also critically evaluates the
public policy towards reducing inequality and argues for a shift in emphasis from
school reforms in "out-of-school" environment.},
