dc.descriptionIn this session of The Conversation Series, Professor Ashish Kulkarni, Assistant Professor, Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics and Author, EconForEverybody Blog, and Professor Puneet Arora, Assistant Professor, Economics and Public Policy, Amrut Mody School of Management, Ahmedabad University, discuss ‘Degree, Employment, Lifelong Learning? Whither Indian Higher Education’. They examine how higher education has lofty goals – to foster the joy of learning, to develop a research mindset, to set students up to be lifelong learners, yet how the reality on the ground is often less noble. Much of higher education is focussed on the inputs: lectures, teaching, textbooks, attendance, rote learning, exams; and on the immediate outputs: grades, degrees, jobs. The exalted outcome – learning for life – is often lost. Higher education has become dispersed and complicated – with new EdTech suppliers joining long-established brick-and-mortar universities. They answer questions such as: can à la carte unbundled courses compete with a holistic 4-year on-campus degree? Can a pick & choose piecemeal collection of courses be called education? What are the pros and cons of bundled university degrees versus standalone online courses? Has the pandemic caused permanent tectonic shifts in the hitherto solid education terra firma? What is the future of higher education? Professor Kulkarni will decode the state of higher education in India, and share his insights on the perils and pitfalls of this sector and what lies ahead. He will also share his experiences as a blogger and a teacher in making learning exciting and fun.en_US
