The higher education system in India faces several challenges: 1. Low enrollment rates, with only 20.8% of the eligible population enrolled in higher education. Enrollment is even lower for women and disadvantaged groups. 2. Poor quality of education, with only 10% of colleges and 32% of universities rated as 'A' quality by regulatory bodies. 3. Inequality in access to education, with large variations in enrollment rates between general population and disadvantaged social groups. 4. Shortage of faculty, with central universities, IIMs, and NITs all having over 25% of teaching positions vacant.

Higher Education in India
Higher education in India begins with students selecting one of three streams (science, commerce, or humanities) in 10th grade. Students then take exams to determine admission to higher education institutions. There are several prestigious institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management that have strict admissions and low enrollment. The higher education system in India faces pressing issues around increasing enrollment numbers and ensuring graduates are employable. Recent reforms aim to address these issues and achieve goals by 2030, and also seek to attract back Indian researchers working abroad. The system provides implications for higher education in America regarding prestigious institutions, government aid, and importing talent from India.

Higher education policy in indonesia
The document discusses improving equity and access to higher education in Indonesia. It notes the disparity in participation between income quintiles, with only a small percentage of students from the lowest income quintile attending university due to the high costs. Current government scholarship programs are merit-based and do not adequately target students from lower-income backgrounds who may have lower academic performance for other reasons. The recommendation is to reform scholarships by making them consider both merit and need, and to establish specialized units to manage the process and increase accountability in selecting beneficiaries from lower-income groups.

Higher education regulation in India: Problems and Prospects
This presentation discusses various issues related to the regulation of higher education in the Indian context.
Access n equity 3
Malaysia has made progress in increasing access to higher education since gaining independence in 1957, but still faces challenges in improving accessibility and ensuring equity. While the number of university students has grown significantly, enrollment remains below targets and certain groups remain underrepresented. Distance education has potential to further address issues of accessibility and equity by providing more flexible options. The government has taken steps to expand distance learning programs and increase cooperation between universities to help more Malaysians obtain higher education, especially those in rural areas or from disadvantaged backgrounds. However, balancing increased access with maintaining quality standards remains important.

Education system in bangladesh
The educational system in Bangladesh is three-tiered and subsidized by the government. It consists of primary, secondary, and higher secondary levels, as well as tertiary education provided by over 150 universities. The primary education system is one of the largest in the world, with over 37,000 government primary schools. Secondary education consists of three streams and concludes with the SSC exam. Higher secondary education lasts two years and prepares students for higher education or employment. Tertiary education requires completion of higher secondary school and provides bachelor's, master's and PhD programs.
Equality of opportunity for education in Sri Lanka
The document summarizes the state of education privatization and equal opportunity in Sri Lanka. It notes that only 17% of students who qualify for university gain admission to state universities due to limited capacity. Public investment in education is also low at around 1.9% of GDP. This has led to a growth in private education to meet demand, but privatization risks making education unaffordable and exacerbating inequality unless the government increases funding to public universities or regulates private universities.
Higher education in India
Higher education in India has seen significant growth and reforms over time. It is provided through public and private institutions, with oversight from central, state and local levels. While religious and temple-based education was common historically, the system has expanded in recent decades but still faces challenges in quality, management, and meeting demand. The private sector is expected to play an increasing role to help address these challenges and supplement public funding and capacity. Reforms are underway to improve regulation and encourage more participation by Indian and foreign institutions through public-private partnerships.
Entrepreneurship Development Programe
Economic development is crucial for any country or region to prosper. It involves activities that encourage economic growth and overall standards of living through job creation, infrastructure development, and business expansion. Successful economic development strategies require cooperation between the private and public sectors to attract investment, support local businesses, and provide workforce training programs.
Asset
Assets are resources with monetary value that are owned by a business, including tangible objects and intangible rights. Assets provide future benefits and services to help produce other assets or settle liabilities. There are different methods to value assets, such as historical cost which records the original price, and replacement cost which estimates the current cost to replace the asset. For example, fixed assets valued at 20 crore rupees in 2000-01 using historical cost, but were valued at 40 crore rupees in 2010-11 using replacement cost due to market changes.

Higher Education and Equality in India
The present paper seeks to explain the issues plaguing higher education in India against the backdrop of globalization and resultant demand for higher standard of quality education. While the demand for higher education has been growing, system has rendered itself as ill-equipped to meet the needs of different strata of society. To government, higher education receives a low priority. Short term measures such as hikes in course fee, appointing part time teachers, introducing paid and market oriented courses are being adopted by the government that in the long run defeat the very social objectives of higher education. In the era of globalization, states are more competitive and even more interdependent. Even the future of state is more dependent on the creation of new knowledge to suit its people in the discharge of their duties in administration, business and in all other areas. This possible if right to higher education is recognized as one of the individual and higher embraces the principle of equality

20 ritendra
Higher education in India faces challenges in both quantity and quality. Regarding quantity, only 13.8% of students have access to higher education according to enrollment ratios. Quality is also an issue, as no Indian universities rank among the top 200 globally. Some key challenges include inadequate infrastructure, lack of qualified faculty, and a mismatch between the skills taught and job market demands. Proposed remedies include expanding access especially for disadvantaged groups, increasing financial support, filling faculty vacancies, encouraging private sector involvement, strengthening governance, and improving curriculum to focus more on skills. Both expanding access and ensuring high quality will be needed to improve India's higher education system.

PROBLEMS OF INDIAN EDUCATION
The document discusses several problems facing India's modern education system. It notes that many government school students lack basic math skills. No Indian universities rank among the top 100 in the world. Higher education has become very expensive, with private institutions prioritizing profits over accessibility. The use of English as the primary language of instruction disadvantages rural students not fluent in English. The country also struggles with brain drain as talented youth leave for jobs abroad. Mass illiteracy remains an issue despite constitutional aims. High dropout rates in primary and secondary schools lead to waste of resources. The system's general focus neglects technical and vocational skills training.
Paper on hideranaces in highering teachers in higher education
THESE are challenging times for higher education in India. And challenges are both national and global. The national challenges arise out of the need for making the success of the policy of social inclusion in the field of higher education. Since it has been, by now, well established that there is a direct relationship between education and development, pursuit of such a policy of social inclusion in the realm of higher education would in turn lead to reduction of development inequalities which are part of our society today. The challenges are global because in the contemporary world not only are nations linked with one another in al walks of life-social, economical, political and cultural-but there is healthy competition among them for emerging as world leaders in terms of development. And here too the key lies in higher education, for it is in the domain of higher education where production of knowledge takes place. And we know knowledge is empowerment.

Higher education
- 3. I. Introduction The higher education system in India has successfully addressed many challenges and difficulties, but it still faces many more. In order to provide context for these challenges, understanding the system and how higher education is organized is necessary. Dimensions :- Governance Funding Level of degree Awarded Program Differentiation/Specialization Language
- 4. II.Challenges 1. Mass education & Gross Enrolment Ratio Indicator Total Male Female Total Population Crores 121.1 62.3 58.7 Literacy Rate 74.0% 82.1% 65.5% Pop.in 18-23 age Group (crores) & in % 14.03 11.6% 7.3 11.8% 6.7 11.4% GER 20.8 22.1 19.4 The ‘gross enrolment ratio’ (GER) is the total number of all enrolees in higher education, regardless of their age, divided by the total population age 18-23. The total number of all enrolees in higher education The total population age 18-23 GER =
- 5. 2. Quality Education :- Quantity and quality of highly specialized human resources determine their competence in the global market. According to a recent government report “ 2/3rd of India’s colleges and universities are below standard .” Grade Collages Universi ties ‘ A ’ 10% 32% ‘ B ’ 66% 52% ‘ C ’ 24% 16% Regulatory Bodies :- University Grants Commission (UGC). NAAC NBA All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Distance Education Council (DEC). Council of Architecture (CoA).
- 6. 3. Inequality :- GER for All, SC & ST - India Equity of access to higher education in India is a triply complicated problem. Besides the low GER for overall population of India, large variations exist among the various categories of population. Due to urban centric and uneven distribution of institutions of higher education, it is not equally available to all in the State.
- 7. 4. Falling standard of research :- “only 4 percent of research expenditure is made through universities. In the United States the corresponding figure is 17 percent and in Germany it is 23 percent. Moreover, India’s higher education institutions are poorly connected to research center's. China’s investment in research manpower, estimated at 708 researchers per 1 million people, is 6 times that of India’s”. Germany USA India
- 8. 5. The problem of Reservation in higher education:- Caste based reservations in educational institutions in India are a constitutional obligation having its own logic of equalizing social and educational inequality. However, caste based reservation amounting up to 49% of the total seats in the Govt. institutions of higher education, including the institutions of excellence, prevents better talent coming in from un-reserved categories besides causing social unrest at times.
- 9. 6. Neglect of Traditional fields of knowledge:- Growing popularity of professional courses with prospects of quicker and better employability has negatively affected the enrolment of students in traditional fields of knowledge like basic sciences, classical language and literature, art etc. The enrolment registers of colleges and universities in India stand testimony to this fact. Most of the talented students move out of the State after completing Senior Secondary course in search of good professional and technical colleges like medical, engineering, management etc. leaving only a few for pure and basic fields of knowledge. Diminishing enrolment in B.Sc. /M.Sc. courses verify this fact.
- 10. 7. Faculty shortage :- Institutions Vacant Seats (%) Central University 35% IIM’s 25% NIT’S 33.33% According to a recent report of HRD Ministry premier educational institutes like the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institute of Management (IIMs) are facing a faculty crunch with nearly one-third of the posts vacant.
