New Education Policy and Higher Education Reforms in India

The New Education Policy (NEP), 2020, adopted by Government of India, envisages significant and far-reaching reforms in higher education sector in India. In this article, I foreground certain peculiar features of the process of massification of higher education in India, including privatisation and fragmentation. I locate the political economy of higher education in India in tensions inherent in centre–state relations and the pressure to respond to popular aspirations on the one hand and maintain standards on the other. The NEP, 2020 does not appear to acknowledge these historical processes. Instead, they appear to rely on a corporate model of BoG-driven governance of higher education institutions to drive the envisaged changes.

Impact of Edtech on teachers in Colleges

The Indian education sector has been subjected to numerous amendments and transformations. After Independence, several initiatives were taken by successive governments to develop our education system, particularly at the college level. Educational policies of developed countries, new technologies and automation also impacted our education system. The concept of “EdTech” is one such remarkable aspect that shows the revolution, being undergone by the Indian Education system. Edtech, or education technology, is the practice of introducing Information and Communication Technology into the classroom to create engaging and inclusive learning experiences. Sessions involving PowerPoint presentations through projectors, online courses which can be attended through tools like Coursera and NPTEL, AI tools, ERP and other computer-aided tools, Internet of Things, preparation of pdf-report and PowerPoint presentations by students and uploading them in applications unique to institutions, the concept of online classrooms, that became popular after the surge of Covid-19, are just a few among the numerous examples of Edtech. A report recently prepared by Team Lease Edtech survey revealed around 79.34 per cent of teachers adapted to EdTech tools by practice, 35.54 per cent of teachers equipped themselves by taking courses provided by institutions, 25.62 per cent learned about the EdTech tools from friends/colleagues/family, and 19.01 per cent equipped themselves by undertaking self-sponsored courses, according to a report by EBEF (East Brunswick Education Foundation), the Indian EdTech industry was valued at US$ 750 million in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 4 billion by 2025 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 39.77%. This research aims to analyse how this concept of EdTech has impacted the teachers in their professional growth, and their suggestions regarding how the EdTech tools can be made user-friendly going further.

Covid-19 and school education in India: A critical spatial and ‘meritocratic’ appraisal of emerging EdTech

The Covid-19 pandemic has radically induced the spaces of learning to the online medium, leading to a sharp impetus in EdTech companies. The Indian education sector is one of the largest E-learning sectors in the world, the market size of which is expected to reach USD 30 billion by 2031. The EdTech companies posit as an alternative to physical spaces and offer an array of learning tools from school education to coaching to qualify for top colleges and universities in India. The paper examines how such development may alter the nature of public goods like education as a ‘commodity’ subject to a competitive marketplace, potentially worsening socio-economic inequities. The paper has conducted a cluster random sampling survey for 10-18 years old school students about their online education experiences. Furthermore, it shall locate and theorise the stated hypothesis within Sandel’s framework of meritocracy and Harvey’s space and further study the socio-economic implications of online education in India already entrenched in socio-economic biases.

Policies and Practices of Managing Higher Education in India: Lessons Learned from the Pandemic Experience

The COVID-19 epidemic has affected higher education worldwide, more so in developing societies. While several studies have looked at the impact of this pandemic on higher education, evidence on the changing policies and practices of managing higher education in a global crisis is still sparse. We present an analysis of how the higher education sector was managed at the system (national/state) institutional and individual levels during the pandemic in India. Drawing on the notion of federalism, we examine the process of decision-making and policy implementation during the crisis and its long-term implications on the governance of higher education. We use student and teacher survey data and critical review of documents by the government and regulatory bodies of higher education, at national and state levels, in our analysis. We find that students have faced the issues like a lack of peer group interactions, unavailability of study materials and lack of regular interaction with teachers that often helps them in performing better while in colleges and universities. Teachers, particularly from private higher education institutions, suffered immense economic distress due to undue delay in receipt of salaries, salary cuts or retrenchment. More importantly, responses to the pandemic-led challenges for higher education by regulatory and coordinating bodies are seldom based on assessing the challenges students and teachers face. It is argued that federalism in education has been substantially weakened as the pandemic response followed a centralised and unilateral approach of decision-making. The article concludes with the short-term and long-term implications of the pandemic-led crisis on the higher education sector in India, adds to the growing literature on the issue.

A Study of the Mediating Effect of Work Stress on Work-life Conflict and Turnover Intention in the Private Higher Education Sector in India

The main focus of this study is to analyze the impact of work-life conflict on turnover intention and examine the impact of work stress as a mediating variable among the teaching employees of private higher education institutions. The current study drew upon samples of 145 teaching employees of private higher education institutions in the education sector of Haryana. A questionnaire was administered to gather the necessary information. Data was evaluated by using the Smart PLS (v.3.2.9) software. In addition, structural equation modeling was conducted to achieve the study’s objectives, and SPSS 25 software was used to compute the demographic profile of teaching employees. The findings indicated that the turnover intention of teaching employees is positively associated with work-life conflict and work stress. In addition, work stress as an intervening variable positively and significantly impacts kinship amid work-life conflict and turnover intention. The teaching employees like to stay in their institutions if there is no work stress. The main concern is not only reducing the work stress of teaching employees but also reforming the quality and level (of work), so they can have less work-life conflict, thus reducing turnover intentions. To dwindle job-related stressors and work-life conflict among employees, various family-friendly benefits and job stress management policies may provide the benefits. This study enhances the understanding of work-life conflicts and work stress. Further, it also has taken into account some antecedents of work-life conflict and work stress, which will aid researchers and academicians in comprehending their impact on turnover intention. The current study has discussed limitations and future directions.
