The aim of the study is to uncover the interactional patterns between "micropolitics" and "education quality" in two rural schools of Karnataka. The patterns thus obtained are used to critique existing policies relating to "quality frameworks" for rural schools as envisaged in The Right to Education Act of 2009 through Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. This ethnographical exploration used micro political perspective on schools as descriptive and analytical lens to understand the manifestation of quality parameters at the village level. Study through the analysis of "quality" and "micro political" interactional pattern signals at the stabilisation of "systemic inefficiency equilibrium" of rural schooling system which has been strategically crafted through existing educational bureaucracy, caste hierarchies and brahminical value systems. Strategies related to enhancing the quality seems to be conceived in a vacuum, disconnected, unreal to the underprivileged, disadvantaged communities in rural educational settings. Thus, the paper brings out the inadequacies in quality frameworks of Right to Education Act in ensuring effective participation to positively influence the long-term growth of the children in rural society.

India is facing a big debate on various social, economic and political issues which remained around corruption and poverty; how they can be eradicated from our society. Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) is the most populous state of our country with over 16.4 % of countries total population. Moreover with 9% of the country's total geographical area, U.P. is the 4th largest state of our country. The median age of U.P. is 20 whereas that of India is young 24 years as in 2011. Though U.P. is the youngest state in India and has a rich cultural heritage but when it comes to literacy and gross enrolment in higher education, it is far behind other states. In order to create a responsible environment, management education can work as a very effective tool. In order to tackle the challenges faced globally such as corruption, poverty and workforce diversity, the United Nations has developed Responsible management initiative. The objective of this paper is to present the structure and different channels of management education in India with special reference to U.P. state. The focus is on identifying critical factors in integrating responsible management education in Higher Educational institutions with reference to sustainable development.

Among many issues facing private higher education (PHE) in Vietnam, governance tensions and irrelevant government policy are widely considered as the most pressing ones. They are impediments to survival and development of private universities. In order to provide most reliable and viable recommendations, the researcher conducted a qualitative multi-site case study with the instrumentation of in-depth semi-structured interviews and document analysis to explore each issue and trace the fundamental causes from legislation. The internal governance tension emerged from conflicting viewpoints among members of the board of directors and president about whether to run their institutions as not-for-profit or for-profit. Misleading legislation has resulted in this tension and confusion in the conceptions of the two categories in practice. The external governance tension was found in the relationship between the government and individual institutions. There have been many complaints about impractical, irrational, inconsistent, and fluctuating legislation governing private institutions. Educational policy was also problematic with its limited resources and unequal treatment toward PHE.
