Higher education, such as graduation and postgraduation, plays a significant role in shaping a person’s career and life. And therefore, there is a great responsibility on higher education institutions to enable our youth to gain the knowledge and aptitude they need to lead the country in the future. In India, there are more than fifty thousand institutions of higher learning. But very few offer quality education that is appreciated by employers and students themselves.

We often hear that graduate and postgraduate candidates from India are inept at problem-solving skills, presentation, critical thinking, and communication. To find the reason for your institution’s poor quality of learning outcomes, we advise you to look inwards. All you need to do is take a few simple steps to enhance your institution’s efficiency and quality of education.

  • Leverage Technology – Modern universities and institutions of higher learning tend to use technology and adapt to new ways of learning. Look for new ways to incorporate technology into your learning systems and automate operational procedures. Technology can also aid the introduction of some new-age pedagogical methods and support research. It will help save time and effort for professors, students, and staff in your college.
  • Interactive Learning – Education should not be confined to books and lectures. Embrace new methods of designing and delivering the curriculum content. Various new pedagogical approaches encourage teachers and students to interact during the learning process. Some examples are field trips, team projects, and research papers. It opens up new opportunities to explore the nuances of the subject of study together.
  • Administering Professors – Create better resources and means for professors to enhance efficiency. Offer better incentives to professors to pursue continuous study in their field, improve their knowledge, and bring something new to the table for students. Using technology to help professors remain up-to-date with their curriculum and industry news is imperative.
  • Promoting Research – Today, higher education is focused on memorizing facts and writing the correct answers to an examination. Research is imperative for building better analytical and critical-thinking skills in students. Students have no motivation or incentive to invest time in research projects. Progress in research will help your university gain recognition and contribute to the country’s development.
  • Student-to-Teacher Ratio – Individual attention to each student is essential to improving education quality in our universities and colleges. Think about how many students learn from a single professor in your institution? Suppose the number is too big for a professor to remember individual names and faces. In that case, it’s time to improve the student-to-teacher ratio. It can be done by reducing the number of students admitted to a class or increasing the number of professors teaching a subject.
  • Digital Classrooms – The pandemic has helped us appreciate the effectiveness of in-person classes. However, it has also taught us the benefits of digital classrooms. While in-person classes should be the primary platform for instruction, offer your students the option of digital classrooms. Students can benefit greatly from the availability of recorded lectures, the opportunity to ask questions and get solutions for doubts, and the convenience of taking tests or quizzes at home.
  • Transforming the Curriculum – Research shows that students typically benefit more from a progressive curriculum than a standard set of subjects imposed by the institution. Transform your curriculum to create a dynamic multidisciplinary learning experience for your students. The essence of the syllabus should be focused on projects and not exams to allow students to truly express what they have learned. A multidisciplinary approach to learning helps avoid stagnation and enhances the quality of education.
