Chapter Chapter 3 in India and the Knowledge Economy, 2019, pp 107-166 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the course of this chapter, the author investigates the crucial role of education for the knowledge economy in India, and critically examines India’s performance with respect to higher education participation, quality, research capability, resourcing and structure and governance of the system. It is found that India’s higher education performance is patchy and lags other countries in terms of innovation, quality, diversity, employability and internationalisation. Nor is it preparing students particularly effectively for the challenges of the future economically and technologically. The chapter makes a number of key recommendations for a revamped higher education system in India, including one which is connected into the global networks of innovation, and which fosters stronger relations with the labour market and society more broadly.
