Today the Higher Education is controlled and maintained by the University Grants Com mission in India. They keep the quality of education on par with the international standards, which is a heritage India acquired since the British occupation.
The Higher Education Program is part of the Education initiative - a sustained commitment in collaboration with educators and government leaders worldwide to help today's students prepare for the demands of tomorrow. In India, the Higher Education Program works closely with premier institutions and universities along with the Government, to help enrich the quality of technological and intellectual human resource available for the rapidly proliferating technology economy.
Education in India is seen as one of the ways to upward social mobility. Good education is seen as a stepping stone to a high flying career. Education System in India currently represents a great paradox. On the one hand we have IIMs & IITs that rank among the best institutes in the world and on the other hand there are number of schools in the country that don't even have the basic infrastructure. Even after more than 50 years after independence we are far away from the goal of universal literacy. But on a positive note, Indian professionals are considered among the best in the world are in great demand. This signifies the inherent strength of Indian education system.
Higher Education features contributions from leading scholars from different countries who tackle the problems of teachers as well as students, and of planners as well as administrators. It presents authoritative overview articles, comparative studies and analyses of particular problems or issues.
While each higher education system has its own distinctive features, common problems and issues are shared internationally by researchers, teachers and institutional leaders. Higher Education offers opportunities for the exchange of research results, experience and insights, and provides a forum for ongoing discussion between experts.
