Abstract

Education worldwide now embraces an array of teaching and learning modes, and heterogeneous clientele with various needs and purposes for seeking knowledge and skills. In India, model Regional Specific Need-based Programs (RSNP) are unique for they cater to the need for immediate certification yield, or for knowledge to be developed through validated curricula. The level of sophistication of the programs is dependent on whether admission of clientele is based on mandatory entrant eligibility criteria or the basis of an Assessment of Prior Learning (APL). Needs of the individual clientele should be at the base of developing the program concept and the zeal of developing a program should prevail until the clientele successfully complete the program, culminating in an appropriate placement. This paper offers a practical description of the complex nature of the administrative frameworks necessary for RSNP to yield fruitful, quantifiable results. This paper also identifies the potential opportunities and threats likely to be encountered in each of the stages of development and implementation of an RSNP including ethical considerations in dealing with such programs in the education sector.
