New Higher Education Policy and Strategic Plan: Commensurate India’s Higher Education in Global Perspective

Abstract

A national education policy (NEP) is a comprehensive framework to guide education development in any country. In light of this, the present contribution is structured on an analysis of recent changes in the education policy of an emerging economy. The study is an original contribution to the qualitative study literature, applying the system model of inquiry and Twitter mining methodology using NVIVO 12 software. The sketch of the article begins by analysing the limitations and gaps of the extant education policy in an emerging country, and its implications through the SAP-LAP framework, and then analysing the reaction of various stakeholders on Twitter. The sentiment index (SI) scored +3.59, denoting a broad approval of the policy amongst the people. Further, the gap analysis develops the pathway to learning issues that guide the recommendations. The article concludes by offering a capacity development framework for better implementation and monitoring of new education policies for lower-middle income countries.

“…While, in today's Indian context, different leadership styles are progressively associated with implementing knowledge management across various industrial sectors such as educational institutions and the public sector (Sharma et al, 2023;Goswami and Agrawal, 2023), information technology (Mittal and Dhar, 2015), service-oriented industry-hotels (Jhamb et al, 2022;Srivastava and Joshi, 2018), previous research on their role in online travel and tourism sector remains scarce (Centobelli et al, 2019;Rodrigues et al, 2020), warranting more rigorous empirical research on leadership communication and its impact on knowledge management in online travel and tourism sector in India.
