Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The main purpose of this article is to highlight the components of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 vis-à-vis higher education. It seems that it would be an appropriate “credit transfer” system as a regulatory provision. In the policy document, key challenges have been identified and some recommendations have been made. At this juncture, the financial constraints are far too compelling and it is difficult to envisage an increase in education spending to 6% of the GDP, in as much as it is to double the current gross enrolment ratio in higher education by the year, 2035. There is no clear cut policy directive in support of the rights/ reservation of the socially deprived and backward segments in higher academic institutions. Education being a concurrent subject, requires a collaborative strategy between the center and states, but that maybe marred by political considerations that very often determine and define the relations between them. Besides, there have to be measurable commitments linked with accountability vis-a-vis funding and expenditure. – Reproduced
