Executive Summary

As part of its constant endeavor to promote mutual co-operation and sharing of knowledge

gained through educational research among Indian and German Higher education institutions

engaged in field of Adult, Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning, the Department of

Adult, Continuing Education and Extension, University of Delhi entered into an agreement

with Institute of Education, Julius Maximillian University of Wurzburg, Germany and

designed a project on Adult and Lifelong Education: Indian and German Insights. This

collaborative academic exercise will enrich and fill the knowledge gap in the discipline which

is evolving and steadily through innovation and wider research base. In this globalized world,

institutions are working together to create new knowledge and understanding to face the new

challenges being posed by every changing social, economic, political and environmental

ecosystem. Adult and Lifelong Learning as a sub-set of a larger system of education has a

great potential to inform the processes, programmes and policies to bring about qualitative

change of greater magnitude

The project is financially supported by UGC which is being operationalized through

following mechanism:

1. Establishing and organizing coordinated classes through winter and autumn School

besides other academic engagements at respective universities.

2. Exchange of Information and Academic Material.

3. Conducting Joint Research Project.

4. Exchange of teaching material and publications through students and faculty mobility.

The project has resulted in following mobility and exchange of students from both the partner

universities.

Eleven students and a Faculty from University of Delhi participated in Winter School 2016.

Two students and two faculties from JM University of Wurzburg attended teaching

programme and joint seminar on Education policy and analysis at University of Delhi in

2016.

In 2017 ten students and a Faculty from University of Delhi participated in Winter School

2017. Three students came for two months teaching programme. Twelve students in

total(nine from JM University of Wurzburg and three students from Helmut-Schmidt

University, Hamburg)and One faculty and five students from University of Dhaka,

Bangladesh participated in International Autumn School, 2017(Intas-1)

1. Introduction

1.1. Adult and Lifelong Education: Indian and German Insights

The growth and development of the Extension function in higher education has seen changes

in terms of focus from service to discipline. The consistent growth in service domain has led

to the path of disciplinary growth in University of Delhi. The first effort of developing a

teaching programme could materialize at University of Delhi and other four Universities in

form of a Post MA Diploma in Adult and Continuing Education on the initiative of

University Grants Commission. Development of a full Post Graduate teaching programme

began in 1991 and could take a firm shape only in 2013. Since the programme has been

influenced by the development at global level, and is in process of completing four decades

of its functioning in India, it has become imperative to locate these activities in truly

International Perspectives. The recent developments both in conceptualization of these

activities and its professional orientation has led to a mutual sharing and accommodation of

ideas and practices. Transnational development and their influence on policy and delivery of

these activities have led to the rethinking of learning approaches from collective to individual

and vice versa. The efforts of vocationalization of Education in 2001-02 and further

redesigning of skill development programme recently (2014-15) has further created a strong

basis for collaborative efforts at international level. The Department of Adult Continuing

Education and Extension, University of Delhi entered into an student and faculty exchange

programme through a Memorandum of Understanding, with the Institute of Education, J M

University of Wurzburg recently and has started gathering the evidences of influence of such

academic pursuit and intend to locate the same at a firm footing for a larger gain and using

the same to collaborate with universities in India and Asiatic continent.

1.2. International Cooperation/Partnership/Collaboration

The Department has been continuously exploring the possibilities of collaborations with other

Universities both at national as well as International level, besides establishing a regular

communications with Departments of different Universities in India. As part of a constant

endeavor to promote mutual understanding and international scientific research, an agreement

has been signed between University of Delhi (Department of Adult Continuing Education

and Extension) and Julius Maximillian University ( Institute of Education) of Wurzburg,

Germany. Both the institutions are working in the field of Adult Continuing Education and

share felt needs of the subject area. An International Collaboration to make academic

research and programmes more holistic for the greater wellbeing of humanity was visualized

accordingly. The programme is being financially supported by UGC under which exchange

of academic faculty, scholars, researchers, students & other staff was agreed upon. The

project is operationalized through following mechanism:

1. Establishing and organizing coordinated classes through winter and autumn School

besides other academic engagements at respective universities.

Page 6: Adult and Lifelong Education: Indian and German Insightsdacee.du.ac.in/web/uploads/pdf/IGP-Report.pdf · gained through educational research among Indian and German Higher education

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 3

2. Exchange of Information and Academic Material.

3. Conducting Joint Research Project.

4. Exchange of teaching material and publications through students and faculty mobility.

The agreement signed between two Universities are attached in Annexure 1

Under the agreement, we have prioritized the scope of comparative studies in India with a to

focus on University Extension, which aimed at creating a University Community interface

and generate insight in order to influence the curricular re-structuring and changes in teaching

learning process and extension services. Common concerns of both the universities are

centralizing towards the grounding of comparative studies in lifelong learning and extension

with collaborator exchange and research programme. The present collaboration has resulted

in single motilities of master and doctoral students as well as faculty members and has been

mutually beneficial to both the institutions. It is essential to further create a scope of mobility

and joint research on professionalization in adult education and extension in the respective

countries and pave the path for further enrichment of the discipline.

The focus of the project developed by the partner institution at JM University Wurzburg fits

well in the context "All these topics are on the one hand research emphasis of the departments

in adult and continuing education in both universities. But they are also represented in

teaching (projects) within the exchange programmes between both universities. The teaching

is thereby not only oriented on research but oriented to insightful learning and teaching

principles. Moreover, it is oriented to transfer research-oriented teaching into first self-

directed and supervised research projects of Master and doctoral students. This is why this

proposal is focusing the enlargement and structural integration of the exchange programme

on Master and doctoral students, where doctoral students are acting as potential role-model

for Master students. This also has to be seen on the basis of the overall low PhD-rate in the

different subjects of education." Since both the partners have a strong teaching and research

programme, the exchange and mobility of Post Graduate and research students along with the

faculty the result is being seen in curriculum construction and delivery.

1.3. Functional Framework for IGP at University of Delhi

2. Academic Exchange Program 2016-17

The MOU envisages movement of students and faculty along with the interaction of policy

makers of both the countries at all possible opportunities.

2.1. Event of Excellence in Hall of Frames

The Project resulted in several such interactions of which one was made possible by the

special interaction session by the visiting Parliamentarian, Ms Marie L V Halem, from

Germany.

Special Session on Refuge Crises and Nationalism in Germany by Ms. Marie L V Halem (19-

8-2016)

The speaker, Ms. Marie L V Helem elaborated the liberal view and the right-wing extremism

of nationalism in Germany. She focused upon the government policy and the U. N. approach

to the present refugee crisis in Germany. Indian students and participant actively engaged in

the discussion and the issues of repatriation were raised by some of the scholars. It was an

enriching session both in understanding the human values and the role of the state in respect

of use of resources and co-existence.

She averred that “The world we live in has recently witnessed a grave humanitarian crisis

when thousands of refugees moved from war zones areas of Syria and other Middle East

countries to Europe and other south East Asian regions. Big chunk of it knocked at the doors

of Germany and other European nations. Extended a feel of Companion, German

government opened is door to women and children seeking refuge at their borders. But

groups within the country has reacted differently reason on their concerns.” The question of

ethnicity and religion over scheduled the very constitutional and fundamental values of

human rights. Underlined the issues related to nationalism and the recent refuge crisis special

session was organized by the department.

following components: (1) Announcement and invitation (2) Selection (3) Local Preparation;

(4) Conduct of International school (5) Assessment and Recognition.

A TWO DAY NATIONAL SEMINAR “EDUCATION POLICY STRATEGIES AND

ADULT EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EUROPE AND INDIA”

Proposed date: October 21-22, 2016.

Venue: Satyakam Bhawan University of Delhi

2.3 Report of two day national seminar “EDUCATION POLICY

STRATEGIES AND ADULT EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE

ANALYSIS OF EUROPE AND INDIA”

The seminar was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, Prof IM Kapahi, Member, University

Grants Commission. Prof Sabine Lauff Scmidt and Prof Regina Egeten Meyer were the guest

of honour. Prof J P Dubey, Head and Dean Faculty of Social Sciences welcomed the

particpants and made a background presentation. The Key note addressed was given by Dr.

Sheshu Kumar, DG NLMA, Government of India. Prof Sabine Lauff Scmidt made a

presentation on understanding of educational policies in Europe and India. Prof S C Bhatia, in

chair, made a comprehensive presentation on policy imperatives driving two countries in

Adult and Continuing Education. He said “Each nation keeps in view the chief task of

assuring its citizens to be part of the written culture through acquisition of literacy and skills

in reading and writing. Each nation also seeks to fulfill its duty towards its citizens to give

them social and technical skills to enhance their employability for the development of various

sectors of life. In the accomplishment of these tasks each nation evolves a set of strategies for

developing its educational policy in general and sector specific educational policies in

particular”.

The NLMA has offered some good learning in regard to status of Literacy and Adult

Education in India with a liberal dose of global perspectives and the comparison with the

Chinese situation. What was worrisome in the discussion was Prof. J.B. Tilak's analysis about

budget allocations and actual expenditure on Literacy and Adult Education. The fact that the

Central Government is permitting such a miniscule amount of expenditure on the subject

reveals that the subject does not attract high priority both within the Department of School

Education and Literacy in the MHRD and with the Finance Ministry. Prof. Tilak's analysis

Page 13: Adult and Lifelong Education: Indian and German Insightsdacee.du.ac.in/web/uploads/pdf/IGP-Report.pdf · gained through educational research among Indian and German Higher education

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 10

that the Department had not demonstrated its inherent capacity to spend money seemed

somewhat arbitrary since no Department in the Government would leave itself to be

deprecated about their capacity to mount a programme. It is the larger political system that

sends signals to slow down a particular development sector.

Prof S C Bhatia said there is a need to start a debate within the Universities on why the

drafting committee for the Constitution of India did not choose to include in the Directive

Principles of State Policy the need for universal literacy alongside eight years of schooling

for all children. Dr. Ambedkar also emphasized the need to invest in Primary Education as

the first stage that went on to extend resources right up to higher education for the Dalit

community; he did not specifically touch upon the issue of adult literacy though he believed

in the concept of sustainable literacy:

Participating in the Bombay Presidency Council discussion on educational matters,

Ambedkar suggested allocation of enhanced resources on education commensurate with the

increase in the number of pupils and their educational requirements. He demanded the

government to set aside a large proportion of the excise revenue collected from the people for

primary education. The object of primary education, he believed, should be to “make children

literate and enable them to continue to be literate through the rest of their life”.

Another explanation that could be offered on behalf of the then existing political climate at

the time of drafting the Constitution is seen in the principle of adult suffrage. The political

elite did not want to be imbued with Mahatma Gandhi's notion of illiteracy being the sin and

shame of the country; it wanted to support a view that all adults, with a right to vote and thus

determine the credibility of the political class, were "educated" without having

to associate "illiteracy" with them. The Chinese were far more practical in acknowledging the

problem and inserted, in their Constitution of 1949, the need for universal literacy along with

nine years of schooling.

Page 14: Adult and Lifelong Education: Indian and German Insightsdacee.du.ac.in/web/uploads/pdf/IGP-Report.pdf · gained through educational research among Indian and German Higher education

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 11

There is thus a possible gap between the structural classification of illiteracy or literacy for all

adults with Primary Education for all children and political perception; the bureaucracy as

also the Policy Makers in the area of Education, have followed the structural approach to

literacy as a tool to facilitate entry into written culture that was at that time an

important component of a learning society. Awareness of the capacity of the electronic age

and its digital dividend was not perceived at that time. The political elites favored the

understanding that the enlightened Indian voter had the benefit of learning through oral

culture. Our educationists thought that the written word would remain the primary source of

access to development information; the political perception in this regard was far ahead of the

educationists, partly out of a charitable view of the adult illiterates and partly out of the

recognition of the inherent strength of the oral culture that had played a prominent role in the

freedom struggle.

He said “We would need to encourage a comparative study of the Indian and the Chinese and

the European Constitutions and the place of adult literacy in the three. We would also need to

encourage the study of advances in electronic and digital technologies and their impact on the

possibility of learning without literacy. The two should help us to consider whether in place

of "eradication of illiteracy", out structural emphasis should have been on the subject of

"development awareness" as part of the Human Resource Development portfolio, assuming

that all adults were "educated" and that "literacy" would be one of the strategies to enhance

such development awareness”.

The other issue that we need to encourage in the debate in the universities relates to

institutional structures; it appears to me that there is merit in envisaging the model of

institutional structures for development awareness from the level of a tribal cluster, village

and an urban slum. Will people benefit from an institutional structure at those levels from

development awareness about the challenges in their daily life, illiteracy being one of those

challenges, though not necessarily a primary challenge.

2.4 Winter School Wurzburg Germany (2017)

A total of 10 young scholars were screened and selected from amongst all applicants in two

categories: one six students to be supported from the IGP budget and four students to be

3.2. International Autumn School 2017 (INTAS-1)

Lifelong learning has come far from being just a literacy related concept or an instrument of

extending basic education in the third world countries to being a crucial part of the concept of

sustainable development. It was seen as a way of eradicating illiteracy in the adults. Today,

lifelong learning means more. It is a tool with which one can cope with the fast changing

social, political, economic and technological structure or dimension of human life. In this

globalized world, merely getting educated is not enough for survival. If one wants to be in

sync with the younger generation and not become absolutely irrelevant for the younger

generation or for their own kids, they have to keep educating themselves. The fashion in

which technology is changing, and the kind of exposure the younger generation is getting to

it, they are becoming more advanced in their thinking and approach towards life. The concept

of generation gap has mainly risen because of the apathetic approach of the older generation

to the kind social environment and technologically charged social order in which the kinds

are growing up.

Not just in social life, continuing education or lifelong learning also has a positive effect in

the professional life of the people. The young generations wants to consistently improving

their job profile and earn more money and they are not satisfied with a stagnant job profile

and salary. Therefore, in order to keep growing in a professional environment they have to

have an updated resume. This is where lifelong learning comes into play. Through lifelong

learning they learn and educate themselves while working. They can prepare themselves for

the right opportunity that may arrive in the future.

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 14

The United Nations has also acknowledged the importance of lifelong learning as a very

important instrument of bringing about sustainable development of the human life. Therefore,

it is necessary for every nation to keep sharing and acquiring knowledge about the

development in lifelong learning in other countries so that a collective and consistent effort

could be made for sustainable growth of the people around the world.

Hence, with this in mind the Department of Adult, Continuing Education and Extension,

University of Delhi, came up with such a program. The main objective behind organizing an

international event such as this is to acquire and share knowledge about the adult education

and lifelong learning related practices that are being undertaken in these countries. The

students shared their respective experiences in their respective countries regarding adult

education or lifelong learning as a learning discourse.

About this School: The fifteen-day workshop was held from 16rd to 30th September 2017.

The aim of this workshop is to inspire researchers and students to engage in drawing parallels

in Adult Lifelong Learning and Extension in Asia and Europe.

The Memorandum of understanding signed between University of Delhi and JM University

of Wurzburg is at the bases of organizing the winter school in Germany and Autumn School

in India. The importance of Indo-German project Adult and Lifelong Education: Indian and

German Insight can be outlined in two stages: One the development that has taken place in

last two years due to MOU between two Universities and two the innovation and disciplinary

enrichment in Adult Continuing Education and Extension that could result from the initiative.

With the prime focus on deriving new equation in research and development that focus on

lifelong learning and extension the Autumn School 2017 was designed as “Comparative

Studies in Adult and Lifelong Learning and Extension: Asian and European Perspective”

Objectives of Autumn School:

The fifteen-day workshop was held from16rd

to 30th September 2017. The aim of this

workshop was to inspire young students, researchers and activists to engage with comparative

studies in Adult Education in Asia and Europe.

At the end of the school, participants were expected to:

Develop clarity on concepts related to adult education framework in Asia and Europe.

Develop an understanding on comparative socio-political approach of study of Adult

Education Continuing Education and Lifelong learning under the umbrella of

Extension Services in Higher Education.

Acquire skills for planning research that help understand pathways creating or

contributing to research in Lifelong learning using qualitative, quantitative and

mixed-method approaches.

Field Visit and Extension Services

Two day extensive field visit was an integral part of the International Autumn School 2017.

The idea was to give „on the field experience‟ to the participants and introduce them to the

institution working in the field of Adult Continuing Education and Extension services. Other

than the community visiting to the slums of Ghaziabad developed by Contractions workers

the participants were given an opportunity to understand and study the extension work done

by various institutions like Indian Institute of Lifelong Education, IAEA,PRIA , Gram

Niyajan Kendra, and IGNOU.

Concluding session including feedback and takeaway messages

Other than developing an innovative methodology of research in Lifelong Education and

underling a wide range of determinant that impact the teaching learning outcome of an adult,

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 17

the school consolidated with research proposals and learning outcome reports. The pointed

achievements as described by participant as a feedback reflect upon the consolidate summary

of the INTAS 2017.

Consolidated outcome of Autumn School 2017

Working in line with the aims and objectives of International Autumn school and the broader

understanding developed by virtue of the MoU signed between India and Germany, the

organizers and the participants headed together and reached to a consolidated framework.

The reports submitted at the end of the school as group work exercise reflect upon the

following points as summarized outcome.

• Literacy and education are indicators of development and a human capital for better

quality of life and improving the economic conditions.

• Research studies revealed that higher level of literacy and education acts as a catalyst

for social upliftment like health, hygiene, population control, environment protection,

empowerment of women, etc.

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 18

• Literacy and education will be much more successful in a person‟s life if he/she has

the skill to use the same.

• Literacy and education are indicators of development and a human capital for better

quality of life and improving the economic conditions.

• Research studies revealed that higher level of literacy and education acts as a catalyst

for social upliftment like health, hygiene, population control, environment protection,

empowerment of women, etc.

• Literacy and education will be much more successful in a person‟s life if he/she has

the skill to use the same

• The sociological framework of Education was underlined by the fact that

Development is not something which can only be restricted to GDP growth and

similar statistics. Now, development is a much wider term with various different

meanings and connotations. According to Prof Amartya Sen “human development is

about the expansion of citizen‟s capability”. And in this light we can see that

capabilities for every individual will be different vis- a- Vis others and so

development for one will not necessarily imply development for others. Dept. Of

Adult education decided to educate its foreign as well as Indian participants about the

developmental path of India in past 70 years. This development is not restricted to one

sector alone rather this stride is multidimensional in nature.

• Gender is about the biology on one hand and performance the other hand. From the

performance of individualism, the gender can be defined. The son preference and

abortion of female babies can be named as a cultural complex phenomenon. It is

connected to the lack of education in lower class and poor society on the one hand.

On the other hand this phenomenon is also found among educated people. Never the

less they are educated and knowing that the genes of the male is providing the sex of

the child, males often blame their wife‟s for only giving birth only to females. In

north India this is seen as a sign of women with is not valuable. Women have to stay

at the homes at the home of her husband. To get prestige in the home of the husband

IGP Report (2016-2018) Page 19

the women has to give birth to a male. In India, it is not legal anymore to find out the

sex of the baby during pregnancy.

The visiting students and scholars of the winter school in Germany (February 2018)

elucidated on various dimensions of Adult education and lifelong learning through paper

presentations, Group Work activities and seminar participations. The synopses of

presentation by the participants from DACEE, University of Delhi listed.

The students presented their papers on the specific topics in their respective groups which

were discussed in detail and finally the groups decided a research question for presentation on

the comparative study. The time duration for presentation was 15 minutes and each group

was given separate time schedule which facilitated the students to move to other groups to

witness the presentations. One selected student from each group made the presentation for the

benefit of students from other groups with the result all the presentations were seen by

everyone.

The topics were – (i) Employability and transitions of young adults (ii) Innovative teaching

methods for adult and lifelong learning (iii) Time in adult learning and education (iv) Adult

education and lifelong learning and the sustainable development goals (v) Students‟ voice as

teaching and learning methods assessment (vi) Health education for adults (vii) guidelines for

the accreditation/recognition/validation of prior learning (viii) National/regional adult

education and lifelong learning policies (ix) Adult learning and job oriented continuing

education and training and (x) Soft skills for adult educators‟ professionalization.

3.6. IGP sailing upstream: Outcome of the Indo German Programme

The program gave an opportunity of developing an understanding of the gaps between the

structural classification of illiteracy or literacy for all adults with Primary Education for all

children and political perception and also reconsider the structural approach to literacy as

only tool to facilitate entry into written culture that was at that time an important component

of a learning society. The seminar also intends to make use of experiences of other countries

using electronic age and its digital dividend for the achieving the goal of human

development. We would need to encourage a comparative study of the Indian and the

Chinese and the European Constitutions and the place of adult literacy in the three. We would

also need to encourage the study of advances in electronic and digital technologies and their

impact on the possibility of learning without literacy. The two should help us to consider

whether in place of "eradication of illiteracy", out structural emphasis should have been on

the subject of "development awareness" as part of the Human Resource Development

portfolio, assuming that all adults were "educated" and that "literacy" would be one of the

strategies to enhance such development awareness.
