Higher Education in Public Institutions: How Do We Stem the Slow Rot?

Abstract

Higher education in state funded universities has quietly deteriorated over the past decades. Little effort is being made to change the structure of education, its content or even the processes by which all this is being controlled by those who may not have much insight into the development of higher education. This has led to the adoption of policies inimical to not only the quality of education but in turn, to the expansion of access of higher education to peripheral and marginal groups and socially vulnerable disadvantaged sections, including women. If quality issues are not addressed all the efforts as expanding educational access will fail. A discussion note.
