for the Indian higher education sector.
17. Strategies can help leaders build an education system
resilient to future disruptions:

have been affected by the closure of schools and HEIs due to the
ongoing pandemic.

• —
83% of Indians aged between 16 and 70 feel that the pandemic
has accentuated the digital divide.

academic model
➢ Build a digital-ready institution
➢ Reinvent student experience
➢ Develop a thriving multi-stakeholder ecosystem

26. •Education is the foundation for economic growth and
human development. Therefore the efforts to prevent
the risks of conflict and disasters impacting the
education systems must lay the foundation of resilience
in education sector. Mainly it saves lives and money.
27. 1. The entire education system had shifted
online:
• •While keeping in mind India’s digital divide. Thus, PM E-Vidya was launched
to provide multimodal access to education benefiting the schools across the
country.
• •If I talk particularly about our Karnataka, for the benefit of the Government
First Grade college students Karnataka Learning Management System has made
strong in terms of providing PPTs, study material and Videos to the students
across the state.
• •Department of Collegiate Education of Karnataka started a You tube Channel
called Jnana Nidhi where all the faculties upload their respective classes to the
said You tube channel.
28. 2. Introduction of Distance Education:
• Societies are getting prepared to a new normal where education will be
different than students, teachers and families.
• Physical distancing rules and other protective measures are considered.
• Schools and college calendars will be modified.
• Teaching provided in shifts and reduced time table.
29. 3. Empowerment of Local communities:
• Community make their own choices about education, building on innovative
school practices and nurturing local exchange and sharing of knowledge and
practices plays an important role in responding to the very diverse local
contexts.
30. 4. Standardization of digital platform:
• Here some systems and universities allow teachers and schools to make their
own technology decisions independently, creating a diverse application
ecosystem where every teacher chooses what they want to use. example: using
Webex, google meet, or zoom platform.
31. 5. Knowing people:
Digital tools and platforms make it vastly easier to collect and manage types of
data like parents, teachers, staff, and students from moving surveys to mobile
devices to using reports of digital teaching and learning activities, to enabling
automated reporting of all kinds in real-time.
32. 6. Mobile phones emerged as prevalent
technology:
• Cell phones are used by a higher percentage of households even in poor and
remote contexts than television and radio. Thus, data systems and apps for cell
phones can be designed as the primary means of data collection and
communication for education systems.
59. Digital Resilience
Digital resilience is a dynamic personality
asset that grows from digital activation i.e.
through engaging with appropriate
opportunities and challenges online, rather
than through avoidance and safety behaviours
60. How is digital resilience established?
It is primarily built through experience
rather than learnt,
fostered by opportunities to confide
in trusted others and later reflect upon online
challenges.
Growing self-control and an ability
to recognise what is harmful, and respond
appropriately, are key aspects

71. Emerging Technology & Digital Innovation
Higher educational institutions must integrate the technological advancements into their
systems to maintain their education quality.
Higher educational institutions must locate additional funds to meet their increasing
needs for technology resources.
To close the digital divides in Education and leverage the power of technology to
accelerate learning, reduce learning poverty, and support skills development a focus
must be placed in bridging the gaps in: i) digital infrastructure (connectivity, devices and
software); ii) human infrastructure (teacher capacity, student skills); and iii) logistical
and administrative systems to deploy and maintain tech architecture.

72. Changes in Needs and Expectations of various Industries
Universities are required to continuously update their curriculum in
order to meet the demand of the industries. The skill-set and
competencies that the students will have to absorb from their
universities have to be timely if they are to excel in their field of study.

higher student enrolment in their respective campuses.

Changes in Knowledge Creation
Higher education institutions must deal with the changes in knowledge
creation to make their students more competent. The challenge of
knowledge creation changes is that administrators will have to invest
resources to revamp their educational system. Moreover, educators must
undergo extensive training and review to understand these changes
better.
75. Making Research Sustainable
Higher education institutions must invest their time and effort to
formulate sustainable research to provide knowledge that will be
relevant in generations to come. Higher education researchers must act
like futurists so that their research can stand the test of time.

76. Emergence of Alternative Education
Enrollees’ preference towards alternative education with the belief that
it will provide them with the same skills and competencies as higher
education may put higher education institutions in a tough spot.
