BlueRose Publishers 'Education Finance in South Asia: Concepts, Theories, and Applications' by Devi Prasai

Challenges to education finance
South Asia has been facing several challenges in financing education. The major challenges are as follows:
A total of 10 million children are out of school in South Asia and they have been facing multiple exclusions; therefore, bringing them to elementary schools is a greater challenge to the school system. Second, equity has remained an unfinished and less addressed agenda in South Asia. Inequity is still at the alarming stage between the males and females, between the income groups, ethnic groups and between the settings (rural and urban areas), which has affected the whole socio-economic development of South Asia. Third, improving quality remained a challenge to South Asia. Poor quality of education has adversely affected the economic growth of South Asia. Forth, South Asia always demands more funds for educational development but forgets the better choices. More spending choices increase the efficiency of education finance. Fifth, adequacy of funding remains a challenge in South Asia, the huge gap between the need and the available resource remains a challenge. Moreover, while costing-out, intervention, quality remains in the gray area. Sixth, liberty became a new theme in education finance. Milton Friedman had advocated school choice a long ago and had tried to use the market forces to improve efficiency in education. Introducing school choice and pay for performance are major challenges to improve efficiency. South Asia has to address the above challenges in the future.

She understood what he referred to.  “I am coming there immediately,” she called him on a cell phone. “No,” he replied, “If the police recognize you here then God forbid they might put him in some other hospital.” “Then what should she do?” She glanced at ward forty-two. The door was still closed. Aarti endures the storm in silence, she sustains the attacks on her with courage, she maneuvers her moves cleverly. She defies the odds. She also fires back without worrying about any blizzard which surrounds her. Her cries don’t pin her down; her tears don’t make her prosaic. She takes the charge in her own hands when she finds the world of men, including her loved ones, drawing battle lines for her.  But she refuses to throw down the gauntlet.  Like a warrior woman, she outclasses her adversaries with characteristic astuteness u...

BlueRose Publishers presents The Wheel of Creation by Rakhi Roy Halder

Science Never Clashes with Spirituality The Wheel of Creation is the English translation of the collected volume of Hindi poems “Srishti Chakra” written by Rakhi Roy Halder. Her students of Loreto college, Kolkata translated many poems of this book, under the guidance of the editor of the book Subhasree Basu, faculty of Loreto College. Man is an integral part of creation. His life is governed by the law of the universe. The human intellect categorizes things for the convenience of understanding. This categorization leads to a disintegrated view of creation. Science versus spirituality is one such example of disintegrated vision. As described by Swapna Behera—Educationist, Editor, and Bilingual Author, The Wheel of Creation is a rare combination of Science and Poetry. This collection of poems aims at expressing the roller coaster ride that is life and uniting the spiritual and scientific consciousness to reveal the magical power of energy flowing through the entire universe, which pla...

According to Akshay Prakash, the author of  Ice Man: King of Himalayas , writing a book is really an interesting job because we need to deeply feel every character that we create especially in fiction stories. It increases our imagination and helps us to sense different personalities of the humans. He also felt it is a difficult job because firstly, we need to have patience to write the book and enhance the story. It takes a lot of time in every step; from storyline up to publishing, we need to research every part and situation of the story. His book is a science fiction based on the story about the superpowers which is filled with the action sequence. He says, “I enjoyed a lot while writing the novel and I am happy to say that I completed my story in just six days.
