Episode 2.1 - Unpacking Bias and Stereotypes in Education: Toward an Inclusive Future

Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University YCMOU was also established in the year 1989. One of the top universities offering distance education to reach out the students in the region of Maharashtra today, undergraduate and post-graduate, besides diploma programs are offered on the basis of the Directorate of Distance Education of YCMOU. Such flexible opportunities shall be provided to the students who cannot engage themselves along with their regular or whole time educational journey; mainly it is due to reasons of being personal or for professional interests.

The same university offers to the students all above mentioned streams, which are the streams like Arts, Commerce, Science, Education, Law, Management, Social Work, and Information Technology. Due to all above said main courses have been taken under the main courses such as BA, BCom, BSc, MA, MCom, MSc, MBA, and different diploma courses and working professionals along with adult learners who study through distance studies or correspondence, for all above said courses these streams come before them offered by the same university.

The fee of distance learning courses run by YCMOU varies with the level and also with the type of course. All under graduation courses such as BA, BCom fall in the range of ₹ 4,000 to ₹ 15,000 per year. Much more details are available about the courses like MBA, MA, MSc but normally fall in the range of ₹ 10,000 to ₹ 30,000 a year. So, diploma courses range from ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 depending upon professional and vocational courses.

It is so transparent that the price will touch the maximum number of students. Fees may vary from course to course and one may also refer to the official website of YCMOU or contact YCMOU for the most apt and updated fee information.

The payment options given by YCMOU are flexible enough, starting from its online portals down to its bank drafts, even to installment plans, which help facilitate the payments coming from students themselves.

North Orissa University Distance Education Fees

No more surfing can be done henceforth. Try after sometime. However I am giving general idea regarding fee structure for distance education and generally about Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU).

Under distance learning, YCMOU offers undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and certificate courses. It has several courses related to arts, science, commerce, education, management, and technology. The flexible options of learning made it a very popular institute among the students of Maharashtra and all other parts of the world.

The fee depends on courses. Undergraduate, YCMOU charges a semester between ₹2,000 to ₹10,000. The fee of the postgraduate semester is different and varies from ₹5,000 to ₹20,000. Other courses are not too expensive; fees of the diploma and certificate course ranges from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000.

YCMOU provides them with online study material and resources while studying that subject; apart from this, counseling services also make their education smooth. Sometimes extra charges arise because some charge is applicable for extra courses or certain services.

Detailed fee structures for any particular course can be seen on the official websites of YCMOU or admitted to any university for information by the admission office. The fees are very likely to be changed every year with small margins on account of updates in the course and new government regulations from time to time.

All other costs-test fees, probably quoted at admissions time-are presumably covered for all but nearly all eligible applicants through scholarship and financial aid.

Shivaji University Kolhapur, Maharashtra Directorate of Distance Education, DDE offers such courses. The concerns of the Shivaji University are that each student requires an academic pursuit which, for the most part , cannot be pursued due to some reason or other with his or her chosen college through regular classes. Courses Offered
Degree Level Courses Undergraduate and postgraduate courses are offered, but not for some diploma courses. A few of them are completed through distance education programs of Shivaji University.

Courses:- Diploma Courses done at the diploma level are offered in various fields related to the above-mentioned courses, like business administration, education, etc.
Selection Procedure:-
Shivaji University provides distance educational facilities and most of the admissions in this university have been made through distance facilities. A student studying in this university would bring his qualification and other requisite documents, if required, towards the courses. The entrance examinations are not conducted by a few of the courses, on the other hand the courses which carry specialization to be undergone by the students must be in special conditions.
Fee structure:-
"The fee structure of the Shivaji University distance education has been so designed that it meets the needs of all those students coming from diversified walks of life but particularly to the poor people who survive in this country.". Depending on the course that one selects to pursue, the amount he is liable to repay in his whole undergraduate or postgraduate study so that he would receive comparatively smaller amounts in a year is quite humongous. Basic undergraduate courses begin at 3,000 a year and may come as high as 10,000 a year. Advanced courses start from 5,000 and reach up to 20,000 a year.
Shivaji University teaches through e-learning besides conventional modes. The university is providing a level-playing field to all its students across this state through video lectures and study material together coupled by PCPs. Examination centers it is providing to all locations of the State of Maharashtra along with a few of its adjacent states.

He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan and has extensively researched educational innovation, first-generation learners, and entrepreneurial opportunities in education.

In this episode, Prof. Rajeev Sharma will provide valuable insights from his widely recognized book, "Not Just Grades: Schools That Educate Differently."

In the rush to enroll children in privately run English-medium schools, where the focus often leans heavily on cut-throat competition and grades-based performance, the true essence of quality education is being compromised. Students, teachers, and educational institutions alike find themselves struggling to thrive in such a pressured environment. Amid this scenario, a few schools stand out by charting a different course. Prioritizing the holistic development of their students, these institutions strive to create a nurturing and positive learning atmosphere. Not Just Grades highlights such exemplary schools that have successfully demonstrated how academic excellence can coexist with meaningful personal growth. With limited resources or capital, these schools have implemented innovative and creative approaches, making a remarkable impact on education.
