NEP 2020, HEIs, administrators, preparedness, resource availabilityAbstract
The paper explores the challenges and opportunities facing institutional management and administrators in implementing the NEP 2020. This stakeholder analysis will assess the preparedness of HEIs to adapt to the policy requirements and administrative hurdles (if any) encountered by them. Data has been collected from 121 administrators of colleges of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Assam and Tripura.
Resource availability and action plan have emerged as important factors in determining the preparedness of HEIs. There is a significant difference in perception of administrators across states wrt general awareness, resource availability and action plan. Administrators consider curriculum enrichment and pedagogy as the greatest opportunity promised by NEP 2020 and substantial infrastructure and resource gaps in HEIs as the greatest challenge set by NEP 2020.
