Abstract

The universities have been undergoing transformation since long. The speed of changes got expedited in the wake of the Pandemic. Given the role of higher education in creating conditions for development, this chapter looks at how the possible linkages between university and development are changing and what implications these changes have for the nature and content of development. While the reduction in public funding appears certain world over, the introduction of digital technology in the classroom is turning out to be a game changer with the changing concept of time and space associated with the university as the classroom can now become global with the possibility of asynchronous teaching–learning. This chapter seeks to argue that public good character of higher education is to be upheld notwithstanding these changes. In fact, with increasing cross-border mobility, higher education is now a global public good. Higher education plays a unique role in the formation of the self and the society. However, given the increasing reliance on online education, growing university-industry collaboration, increasing reliance on market to achieve efficiency in the context of internationalization, it is doubtful whether higher education can contribute towards development which is humane. Under the influence of world ranking of universities, the top universities are getting disembedded from the local and national context within a system which is getting more and more differentiated. These developments undermine the objectives of access and equity. The concept of quality is being redefined too with changing demand for skill and acceptance of lifelong learning to remain relevant in the job market. While the ivory tower image of the traditional university is no longer tenable, it is important to ensure how the university space can be protected from interference from outside and universities remain both intellectually and morally independent to serve the society better.

Becker recognizes psychic returns from investment in education along with monetary returns.

The other two important functions are to certify the education and skill imparted to the graduates, revealing thereby the information to the employers about the credibility of the graduates, and to create space for socialization which is essential for the transformation of the graduates. This seeks to inculcate values and empathy and fosters understanding among the graduates to evolve as responsible citizens.

The only difference between digital music with digital teaching is that the former does not require interaction between the service provider and the audience.

The policy of Graded autonomy allows the Category-I universities to appoint industry professionals to gain from their expertise and experiences which will make the students aware of the recent developments and enhance their employability.

The important ranking agencies in the world are the ARWU, the THE and the QS. All these three are also recognized by the Government of India in the policy for Institution of Eminence (GoI, 2017) and Graded Autonomy (GoI, 2018).

In the theory of signalling, the role of education is not for formation of human capital but for revelation of information about the attributes of the graduates. Since education is presumed to be not for augmenting productivity, the process of acquiring the education credentials is a waste of resources.

In comparison, in a consumer durable industry or say for in case of laptop or computers, the hardwares and the softwares are reproducible in large numbers. For higher education, the best of the students and the teachers always tend to converge to the best of the universities. The efficiency in the higher education sector is therefore called selection based efficiency (Glennerster, 1991).
