India Aims to Increase Higher Education Enrollment Amid Data and Inclusivity Challenges
India's higher education system, with over 4.3 crore students and 1,168 universities, faces challenges in data transparency and inclusivity. While the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) has reached around 30, the National Education Policy aims to increase it to 50 by 2035. Achieving this will require addressing disparities among diverse learner groups, improving data systems, and creating flexible, inclusive education models that accommodate varied learner needs across regions and social backgrounds.
