Youth Population

India, being a country with a majority youth population, has a good opportunity to strengthen its economy in the next few decades. However, this could only be possible, if the youth population is trained with the required skill-set for the job market with improved opportunities for higher education. Unfortunately, the percentage of higher education enrolment does not possess encouraging numbers due to various social & economic reasons. The ratio in the coming years can be improved by offering the higher education courses in open & distance learning mode (ODL). Recently University Grants Commission (UGC also eased the norms for the higher educational institutes to offer ODL programs. However, the present ODL programs that are being offered were challenged with (i) lack of quality checks (ii) lack of paradigm shift in the course delivery, which is still through correspondence mode (iii) the degrees offered by the distance mode are not on par with regular courses. In this view, it is time to assess the quality of the present ODL programs and the necessary steps have to be initiated to improve the quality of the program. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic condition, major parts of the world dependent on online classes for the delivery of the regular courses, in this view, various tools for delivery and assessment are being widely used/developed. The integration of these tools with the present corresponding courses shall improve the quality of the courses. Herein, we comprehensively present the above-mentioned problems and solutions to improve the quality of ODL courses in India.

Education In India

Quality, as we know so far, was originally developed in the manufacturing industry. In the area of higher education, the adoption of quality control has been superficial and diluted by the exercise of academic . Further, the prevailing culture of universities is often based on individual autonomy, which is zealously guarded. Thus, it is usually difficult to apply the features of quality to higher education considering the fact that quality requires. However, the quality of higher education is very important for its stakeholders. Notably, providers (funding bodies and the community at large), students, staff and employers of graduates are. The most commonly grouped dimensions of quality are product, software and service. In the changing context marked by expansion of higher education and globalization of economic activities, education has become a national concern with an international dimension. To cope with this changing context, countries have been pressurized to ensure and assure quality of higher education at a nationally comparable and internationally acceptable standard. Consequently, many countries initiated “national quality assurance mechanisms” and many more are in the process of evolving a suitable strategy. Most of the quality assurance bodies were established in the nineties and after a few years of practical experience, they are rethinking many issues of quality assurance. At this juncture where countries look for experiences and practices elsewhere, the experience of India has many valuable lessons and this report is an attempt to share those developments..

Indian Perspective

The situation of higher education in India does not concur with the worldwide benchmarks. Consequently, there is sufficient defense for an expanded evaluation of the quality of the nation's instructive foundations. Traditionally, these foundations accepted that quality is controllable by intrinsic assets, for example, knowledgeable and learned faculty with an impressive set of degrees and experience detailed at the end of the institute's admission brochure, and extrinsic assets like huge library rich with number of books and journals in the library, an ultra-modern campus, and size of the endowment, etc. This chapter aims at reviewing the higher education approach to quality management from an Indian perspective and deliberates on the tools and techniques like SIX SIGMA, LEAN, and TQM, most commonly used in higher education.

Academic Year

On 30th January 2020, India reported its first covid-19 positive case in Kerala and it reached to 100 confirmed cases by mid of March of the same year. Sensing its severity, Prime Minister of India called for voluntary Janta Curfew for 14 hours on 22nd March. As the confirmed cases and death tolls started to increase, from 25th March 2020 lockdown started. Since then education sector from nursery to university level are shut down. About 320 millions of learners are affected by the pandemic in India. This paper is focused on higher education sector only. Higher education in India gets a massive shock as enrolment to new academic year has been postponed, all examinations got withheld, curricular work got hampered, students are facing immense stress of upcoming economic crisis and institutes are facing threats of losing their revenues. Under this situation, the researchers purport to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on higher education sector in India and to look into the possible strategies to combat this situation. Descriptive analytical method has been used in this present study. Different e-journals, websites, articles have been used as secondary source of data. The study highlights on the growing interest in e-learning and usage of various ICT tools in imparting knowledge to the learners. It is revealed that there is a sharp increase in enrolment to MOOCS. Although technological advancement is doing its job to run the teaching-learning process in the higher education sector of India but digital divide is inhibiting a large section of learners to get these benefits. Along with this psychological crisis is also present. Therefore, the technological facilities and infrastructure should be improved in every corner of the country for combating COVID-19 and other such adverse conditions in future.
