With the growing importance of knowledge in the growth process higher education assumes critical importance in policy making. Higher education plays an important role in knowledge production through its Research & Development (R&D activities and in the use of knowledge produced elsewhere through its contribution to production of knowledge-based goods. Given its role in development, governments and individuals/households have been increasing their investment in higher education leading to massification and further to universalization of higher education in many countries. But the major challenges are maintaining national competitiveness while offering a quality but affordable education across the nation amongst the various socio-economic strata. With the enactment of New Education Policy 2020, the issue of affordability therefore brings in the role of public sector in financing of higher education in India.","PeriodicalId":110509,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Library Sciences (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121271054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve months on, how do things look? \u0000 \u0000Key points: \u0000 \u0000We’re still failing to deliver open access (OA): around a fifth of new articles will be born free in 2018, roughly the same as in 2017. \u0000 \u0000Librarians, funders and negotiators are getting tougher with publishers but offsetting, ‘Publish and Read’, deals based on APCs won’t deliver OA for all or solve the serials crisis. \u0000 \u0000The authors of Budapest, Bethesda and Berlin OA declarations foresaw three changes with the coming of the internet.

Merging two datasets collected from the PISA studies and the World Development Indicators and using Learning Bayesian Networks, we prove the existence of a statistical causal relationship between investment in R&D of a country and its education performance (PISA scores). We also prove that the effect of R&D on Education is long term as a country has to invest at least 10 years before beginning to improve the level of young pupils.","PeriodicalId":110509,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Library Sciences (Topic)","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122713611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
