Culture and Education
Is the American model of Community Colleges suitable for Indian people?
![Page 23: Community Colleges Presented by Professor Vijay Kapur, MBA, PhD, IAS Currently on Inter-University deputation as Advisor to the Vice Chacellor, Indira](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc75503460f94abcdf8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cultural Dimensions of Education
Higher education is required to pursue and accept cultural identity, promote cultural values, protect and encourage cultural diversity and participate actively in developing intercultural understanding. This goal finds resonance in both the American and Indian perspectives though the level of implementation varies.
The American Approach – Altruism and financial rewards are compatible not competing goals. This does not resonate within the Indian setting where social and developmental goals take prominence.
![Page 24: Community Colleges Presented by Professor Vijay Kapur, MBA, PhD, IAS Currently on Inter-University deputation as Advisor to the Vice Chacellor, Indira](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc75503460f94abcdf8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Conclusion Universality of education implies that the goal not only to train but to educate. This aspect is yet to evolve totally within the Indian setting.Cultural beliefs and attitudes impact directly on personal behavior which is also influenced by the level of cultural competence. This must be included within the Indian model which is evolving. Need to establish a mentoring relationship between each functional Indian Community College and an experienced American Community College. This could be based on the sister city model.

“Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in. That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.” Abraham Lincoln.
“Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.” Aristotle.
