Join us for an engaging conversation with QS Executive Directors Selma Toohey and Ashwin Fernandes as we explore the impact and progress of India’s ambitious National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, five years since its launch.
This one-hour session will reflect on the developments and reforms shaped by the NEP, the opportunities it presents for UK universities, and insights gathered from conversations with Vice Chancellors across both India and the UK over the past five years.
Key discussion points:
- Measuring momentum: How far India’s higher education sector has travelled since 2020.
- Strategic alignment: Where UK institutions can add value in India’s evolving landscape.
- Global lessons: What cross-border dialogues reveal about the future of policy and partnerships.
