Excerpt from the Book
1.1 HIGHER EDUCATION AND EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
The higher education system in India has grown in an incredible way, particularly in the post independence period, to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the world. Education has continued to growth, diversify and extend its reach and coverage since the existence of human history. Every country of the world develops its system to express and encourage the unique socio-cultural identity and also to meet the challenges of the time. Higher education is the system in which the inputs are the secondary students; the outputs are the graduates, post graduates, doctors, engineers etc., who become the most important resources and assets of the nation. Building higher education occupies a special position in the educational system of any nation, because it is at the top of the entire educational structure and thus influences all levels of education. In fact, by providing manpower for many areas of production, planning, management and technological development, it influences practically every important national activity. According to the “Encyclopaedia Britannica” The best definition of higher education may be one devised and accepted in 1962 by 44 nations participating in a UNESCO Conference on Higher education in Africa. Higher education is defined as all types of education (academic, professional, technological and teacher education) provided in institutions and colleges for which (a) the basic entrance requirement is completion of secondary education, (b) the usual entrance age is about 18 years and(c) In which the courses lead to giving of a named award (degree, diploma or certificate) of higher studies.
The National Policy on Education (1986) characterizes higher education as an essential factor for survival providing the Indian people with an opportunity to reflect on the critical social, economic, cultural, moral and spiritual issues facing civilization. It contributes to nation’s development through broadcasting of specialized knowledge and skills. It is, therefore a crucial factor for survival.
