A Tale of Two States: Analyzing the State of Higher Education in Kerala and Karnataka
Abstract
In India, over 32 crore active learners have been affected by the closure of educational institutions across the country. There are a lot of obstacles such as accessibility, pedagogy and curriculum, infrastructure, and capabilities that can affect the transformation process. However, there is a positive side to digital learning such as increased efficiency, and scope of mass scale-up of operations. Every state in India faces unique challenges and a single policy representing the entire country’s higher education system is unviable. The authors attempt to analyze the state of higher education in the state of Kerala and Karnataka based on four parameters, namely, accessibility, quality, privatization, and digital infrastructure. The last parameter being prime and obvious because pandemic is the inflection point for e-learning and digital infrastructure plays an important role. The research was conducted through an in-detailed literature review of research papers, policy documents, news articles, and government reports.
