Abstract

The New Education Policy (NEP), 2020, adopted by Government of India, envisages significant and far-reaching reforms in higher education sector in India. In this article, I foreground certain peculiar features of the process of massification of higher education in India, including privatisation and fragmentation. I locate the political economy of higher education in India in tensions inherent in centre–state relations and the pressure to respond to popular aspirations on the one hand and maintain standards on the other. The NEP, 2020 does not appear to acknowledge these historical processes. Instead, they appear to rely on a corporate model of BoG-driven governance of higher education institutions to drive the envisaged changes.

印度的新教育政策和高等教育改革

印度政府通过的《2020 年新教育政策》（NEP）设想对印度高等教育部门进行重大而深远的改革。在本文中，我强调了印度高等教育大众化进程的某些特点，包括私有化和分散化。我将印度高等教育的政治经济学定位在中央与国家关系中固有的紧张关系，以及一方面要满足大众愿望、另一方面又要保持标准的压力之中。2020 年国家教育政策》似乎并不承认这些历史进程。相反，它们似乎依赖于由政府主导的高等教育机构治理的企业模式来推动所设想的变革。
