India Higher Education Report 2023: Higher Education Research (en Inglés) - Pradeep Kumar Misra

This book traces the contours of higher education research in India. It analyses the Indian higher education system that has seen unprecedented expansion in the last couple of decades with increasing institutional and programme diversification, diverse participants accessing higher education, and curricula becoming more market oriented in a globalised context.

The book provides an empirical analysis of issues related to higher education research in the country including international collaboration; analysis of institutions and research programs; and state- and national-level policies determining higher education and research trajectories. It explores the extent to which sources and supplies of funding impact research agenda, research questions, and outcomes. The book conceptually engages with the role of higher education research in providing a direction for policymakers and paving the way towards quality higher education.

An important critique of higher education policy and planning, this book will be valuable for researchers and scholars in the field of education, public policy, political science, international relations, law, sociology, economics, and political economy. It will also be of interest to policy makers working in higher education and research.
