Types of Majority
1. Absolute majority: This means > 50% of total strength of the house
(without subtracting vacancies).
3. Effective majority: This means > 50% of (total strength of the house
- vacancies). This is needed in the removal of speaker, deputy speaker, vice-
chairman etc.
Special majority
1. 2/3 members present and voting (no minima requirement). Art 249:
CoS can pass a resolution authorizing the parliament to legislate on a state
subject for 1 year. Art 312: CoS can pass a resolution authorizing the
parliament to create a new all India service.
Amendment
5. Election of president.
1. Until Golak Nath case, SC held that no part was unamendable. The
word 'law' in Art 13 referred to ordinary laws made by parliament in its
legislative capacity and not amendment acts made under its constituent
capacity.
1. Judicial review of ordinary laws: For the first time a distinction was
made between union laws and state laws for challenging their validity on
grounds of unconstitutionality. It was provided that a HC can't pass
judgement on a central law and SC can't pass judgement on a state law
unless a central law had also been questioned in the same proceedings.

Inputs vs Outcomes
1. However, what the law actually specifies are inputs that should be
present in schools (in the form of buildings, facilities, teachers, etc.) rather
than outcomes that children should be guaranteed (in the form of specific
learning benchmarks). It thus makes a series of assumptions about how the
inputs it mandates will translate into processes in schools and generate
outcomes for children.
Diversity in classrooms
1. Reports suggest that only half the rural children in class 5 can
fluently read text from a standard two textbook. Schools have been organized
by age and grade. Children move from one grade to the next, regardless of
the underlying learning composition of students.
Infrastructure Provision
Dropout Ratios
1. Both the State Government and the local authority have the
duty to provide free and compulsory elementary education. Sharing of this
duty may lead to neither Government being held accountable. Schools
established by the State Government would be under the authority of the
State while Panchayats will have the duty to provide free education at the
local level.
2. The Act laid down that within three years, only recognized
institutions with certain minimum infrastructure will impart school education
in the country.
3. Only schools that have the minimum teaching personnel and
a playground will henceforth be allowed to function. At the present time,
when land prices are so high, to conjure up a playground where there is none
today is asking for the moon.
4. Teaching quality
6. Financial issues
Government Initiatives
2. The Higher Education and Research Bill and couple more have been
introduced in the Parliament.
2. The institute will also have to hire teachers only satisfying the
criteria setup by a competent authority and their salaries would have to be
disclosed.
1. For profit clause: Education is not a market good in our country. One
cannot run a for-profit educational institution in India. Educational institutions
can only be established either by a charitable trust or as a Section 25
company where legally profits cannot be taken out. This leads to huge under-
the-table capitation fees, over-invoicing of salaries of genuine employees,
fake, non-existent employees on the rolls, over-invoicing of capital
expenditure mostly to associated companies of the promoters, consultancy
and perks to the promoters, and so on.
