ABSTRACT

The robust interface among four important agents in India education system viz., school administrators, teachers, students, and parents are the lynchpin of the Indian education system. While a number of studies have explored this inter-relationships in parts, this paper makes inferences through assessing this whole interface in a coherent manner. Extremely multifaceted conflictual inter-relationships among these four agents are observed in Indian education system which substantially impedes the scope of shaping up of the students’ behavioural traits and ultimately quality education for all. Political priority, appropriate public policy and regulations are critical for effectively addressing such conflictual interface among the studied four agents. Since behavioural traits are important determinants of educational and life outcomes, this paper, in the context of assessing the inter-relationships among these four agents, conceptually discusses and subsequently suggests that empirical testing of Dunning-Kruger effect and Big Fish-Little Pond effect are vital for each of the agents.
