points<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be it learning or teaching, the <strong>Muslim community is lagging behind all communities<\/strong>, including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, in higher education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reasons<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s caused partially by the COVID-19 pandemic, points to the relative economic impoverishment of the community, which forces its talented students to pursue earning opportunities after completing schooling rather than enrolling for higher education, beginning at the graduation level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Major Issues Related to India\u2019s Higher Education System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Faculty Shortage: AISHE 2020-21<\/strong>&nbsp;showed that the&nbsp;<strong>teacher-pupil ratio was at 27&nbsp;<\/strong>for all universities, colleges and standalone institutions and at<strong>&nbsp;24 if only regular mode is considered<\/strong>&nbsp;due to which the quality of education remains a concern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inadequate Infrastructure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Poor infrastructure is another challenge to higher education in India.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Due to the&nbsp;<strong>budget deficit, corruption and lobbying<\/strong>&nbsp;by the vested interest group, public as well as private sector universities in India lack the necessary infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory Issues:<\/strong>&nbsp;Management of Indian higher education faces challenges of lack of<strong>&nbsp;accountability, transparency, and professionalism.<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a result of the increase in the number of affiliated colleges and students, the&nbsp;<strong>burden of administrative functions of universities has significantly increased<\/strong>&nbsp;and the core focus on academics and research is diluted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problem of Brain Drain:<\/strong>&nbsp;Due to cutthroat competition for&nbsp;<strong>getting admission in top institutes like IITs and IIMs,<\/strong>&nbsp;a challenging academic environment is created for a large number of students in India, so they prefer going abroad,&nbsp;<strong>which makes our country deprived of good talent.<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is definitely a&nbsp;<strong>quantitative expansion of education in India<\/strong>&nbsp;but the&nbsp;<strong>qualitative front (essential for a student to get a job) is lagging behind.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can the Indian Higher Education System be Revolutionized?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Implementation of <a href=\"https:\/\/lotusarise.com\/national-education-policy-nep-2020-upsc\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"28210\">National Education Policy<\/a> (NEP):<\/strong>&nbsp;The implementation of the&nbsp;<strong>NEP<\/strong>&nbsp;can help shake the education system from its slumber.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Moving away from the&nbsp;<strong>current 10+2 system to a 5+3+3+4 system<\/strong>&nbsp;will bring the<strong>&nbsp;pre-school age group<\/strong>&nbsp;formally into the education set-up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Education-Employment Corridor:<\/strong>&nbsp;India&#8217;s educational setup needs to be enhanced by&nbsp;<strong>integrating vocational learning with mainstream education<\/strong>&nbsp;and providing right mentorship at school&nbsp;<strong>(especially in government schools)<\/strong>&nbsp;to ensure that&nbsp;<strong>students are guided in the right direction<\/strong>&nbsp;from the start and are aware of career opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taking a Note from Past to Future:<\/strong>&nbsp;It is important to look to the future while keeping our long-established roots in mind.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The<strong>&nbsp;ancient evaluation of education was not restricted to grading thematic knowledge.<\/strong>&nbsp;Students were assessed on the skills they learned and how well they can apply practical knowledge to real-life situations.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The modern education system can also&nbsp;<strong>devise similar systems of assessment.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-90_f5cde3-83
