Indian higher-education institutions are grappling with significant challenges in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, as highlighted by a recent QS I-GAUGE report. These challenges include infrastructural limitations, financial constraints, and institutional cultural differences which hinder their ability to join large knowledge clusters for resource sharing.
The report, named 'From vision to reality: Tracking NEP 2020 implementation in Indian higher education', outlines both accomplishments and areas needing attention in the policy's rollout. While successful integration of curricular flexibility is noted, the adoption of multiple entry and exit options and international collaborations remain constrained.
Furthermore, mental health support, institutional partnerships, and financial autonomy are identified as areas needing improvement. Despite the hurdles, the report suggests that strategic investment and focused efforts can accelerate the integration of the Indian Knowledge System into mainstream education, fulfilling the transformative vision of the policy.
