21 Concluding Remarks (1) Making primary education free is not enough. There is Constitutional commitment to com-pulsory education for children up to 14 years. Need for decentralizing education manage-ment. Financing and management of primary and secondary education may be devolved to the Panchayats in the rural areas. Govt may focus on literacy, primary and secondary education leaving higher and professional education to private sector. An Education Development Fund with private donation exempted from tax may be created for financing higher education.

22. Concluding Remarks (2) Progressively reduce the funding for Universities and make them self financing. A credit market for private financing of education may be developed. Create environment which attracts foreign students to join Indian Universities. Allow foreign investment in higher education particularly for IT, S&T, medical and management.
