Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Debate~I] ​Will the quality of education improve if colleges become autonomous?

hello all 


Stephen makes some very good points  specially w.r.t. market acceptance and credibility in the initial stages of an institution gaining autonomous status .  However this challenge will always  remain  as we all know that even different institutions within one awarding body does  not bear the same level of acceptance; a simple example that comes to mind is Delhi University .

However  how the ecosystem develops is largely dependant on the players i the system  and the overall regulatory and governance structures that are put in place . If the focus and emphasis continues to be on  regulation ( as is currently the position in India), the  changes are highly unlikely to bring the desired changes  particularly -- enhancement in quality . 

A robust regulatory framework is required  ( the operative word being framework)  but the emphasis has to be on governance structures and  practices  if quality learning and teaching is the  desired objective ..... or else the sector is in the danger of being encumbered with a host of regulations and bureaucratic measures with scant regard to what actually happens to learning  teaching and research .

There are two sides to a coin and so also it holds true for this choice between the devil and the deep sea. While Autonomous status enables an Institute to restructure its policies and curriculum in line with the current and emerging market trends, it would be handicapped initially as its Degrees may not be recognized by corporate - especially if one is applying or seeking a career in Government services. To prove itself, the institute has to toil and earn its recognition and reputation by offering excellent quality cadres from its stable who would naturally be the Brand Ambassadors for the institute.
In terms of an institute not having sufficient capital/assets for overall development for its students, the management could seek enrollment for UGC aid thereby leaving its reins in the hands of administrators who would be breathing on its neck. Many UGC aided colleges also reported drop in Engineering streams so the winds of change blows equally over private un-aided and UGC recognized colleges. The real assets of an Institute are its Teaching staff...their dedication and passion is what would shape the lives and careers of youngsters. Student community in present age is very well connected through social media and good works and good deeds are surely appreciated and talked about and good reviews would surely bring positive results in terms of admission and quality of students opting for the institute.

Many autonomous and affiliated colleges carry their own flaws and adroits but what really matters is the true determination of their goal/mission/vision to enhance the quality.

Yes, all indicators lead to one simple evidence- autonomy does lead better performance and to excellence.  It is proven by our journey in life. The World University Rankings also makes it clear that private and autonomous universities do a better job  of remaining competitive and thereby contribute to improving quality of HE.
