Impacts Of Globalization On Higher Education In India

Abstract

Globalization has brought both benefits and problems to India's higher education system. This study examines at how access, quality, and cross-cultural interactions have been affected by globalization in Indian higher education. The findings suggest that while globalization has increased opportunities for international collaboration and exchange of knowledge, it has also led to concerns about the commercialization of education and the erosion of traditional values. Additionally, the study highlights the need for policymakers and educators to address these challenges to ensure that globalization positively impacts higher education in India. Both positive and negative effects were found in the research, such as better access to global resources and knowledge, higher educational standards, and the expansion of private educational institutions. The commercialization of education, pressure on students, cultural homogenization, and inequality and access are some of the issues it also brings to light.
