On March 8th, 2024, the University Grants Commission (UGC) released the Report of the overarching Committee, constituted by the Ministry of Education, on Transformative Reforms for Strengthening Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education Institutions in India. The major recommendations of the committee are as follows: ·        Implementation of a Binary Accreditation System ·        Establishment of 5 levels for Accredited Institutions ·        Amalgamation of Programme-Accreditation and Institutional-Accreditation According to the All-India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) report for 2021-22, there are 1,162 universities, 42,825 colleges, and 10,576 Stand Alone Institutions in India. However, as of May 2023, only 430 universities and 9,257 colleges across the country have received accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), representing approximately 37% of universities and 21% of institutes being accredited. Furthermore, the status of accreditation from the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) is also concerning, with less than 20% of technical courses in the country being accredited. The suggested reforms in the accreditation process are expected to incentivize institutes to actively participate, thereby enhancing the overall quality of education in the country. #nep2020 #naac #nba #aishe #ugc #svsu

And sometimes my daily work looks like this. Following the launch of the 2023 OECD edition of the Education at a glance report. This year's edition focuses on vocational education and training (VET) - as the OECD report states 'a vital part of a country’s education system that offers students an alternative to academic-focused education'.  Have a read yourself 🤓 👇 https://lnkd.in/e4-ay3pF #OECD #education #lifelonglearning #vocationaleducation #vocationaleducationandtraining #skillsdevelopment

ATMC is actively working to enhance the affordability of education for international students in Australia. One notable approach they have adopted is the provision of scholarships during a student's second year of their academic program. By offering scholarships in the second year, ATMC aims to alleviate the financial burden on students, allowing them to focus more on their studies and educational experience without the constant worry of fees. This strategy not only supports students' academic endeavors but also contributes to their overall well-being and enables them to fully engage in their studies and enjoy their time in Australia. #ATMC #study #education #learning #studyinmelbourne #topuniversityinaustralia #study #collegeinaustralia #learnwithATMC #marketingcourses #businesscourses #bestcolloegeinaustralia #studyinaustralia2023 #australianlifestyle #whystudyinaustralia

The value of higher education goes far beyond a good job As participation in higher education grows, we continue to hear the argument from certain corners that too many people go to university. It is a point often made by those who went to university themselves, and by those who aspire to have their own children access the benefits higher education affords. Despite this rhetoric, the appetite for higher levels of education does not seem to diminish. The United Kingdom, for example, has one of the highest tertiary attainment rates in the OECD, but is not alone in seeking to increase its share. As more countries move towards ‘mass’ higher education systems, we have a responsibility to regularly re-examine the evidence to check that our assertions on the value of continued expansion still ring true.

College based HE is an important and integral part of the university landscape: #clearing2024 #UCAS #Highereducation

The University Grants Commission (UGC) bold move. New draft guidelines propose crucial benchmarks for grants – NAAC/NBA participation, NIRF ranking, and ensuring 75% filled teaching positions. The draft guidelines, "UGC (Fitness of Colleges for Receiving Grants) Rules, 2024" will replace 1975 norms, aligning with National Education Policy 2020. Applicable to all colleges under central/state acts, these rules aim to revamp education.The UGC has sought comments from the public by March 4, 2024, on this draft policy MyGov India skill India Online University Grants Commission (UGC) NAAC, Inc.
