Indian Higher Education from the Lens of National Policy of Education
(1986) and National Policy on Education (2016): A Comparative Study
Abstract
Higher education is considered as the part and parcel of education
system. The Indian higher education system is getting better day by day.
The Government of India while realizing the needs of today's generations
brought NPE 1986. To enhance the functioning of higher education,
recommendation was given. Many recommendations were implemented but some
areas were left behind. To fill this gape, the GOI again in 2016 brought
another policy of education. The policy paid special importance to the
areas where the previous policy was lacking. The policy gave much
attention towards the areas where it was felt that a change is
necessary. But many areas where emphasis was necessary were not
mentioned. The paper analyses the recommendation of NPE 1986 and 2016 in
the field of higher education. It makes a comparative study of the
recommendations in various aspects of higher education.
