PROPHE Summary: India will be requiring all higher education institutions to be accredited but the accreditations will no longer be exclusively with the government. Instead, there will be a variety of mostly private accreditation agencies. The agencies, in turn, will be regulated. For the full story, see" Bill makes room for pvt role in quality checks" by Akshaya Mukul. The Times of India.Aug 19, 2009.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/india/Bill-makes-room-for-pvt-role-in-quality-checks/articleshow/4908596.cms PROPHE Observation: Along with other measures recently reported in PROPHE’s News Features, this step on accreditation represents a dramatic shift in higher education policy in the wake of India’s recent national elections. Most countries have one central accreditation agency. India will now join the US in having multiple agencies. It seems that the Indian mode will rely more than the US mode on a central regulator, whereas the US national government asserts its influence by giving loans only to students at institutions accredited by agencies recognized by the national government. India’s change represents further movement to higher education privatization, choice, diversification, multiple accountabilities, and market competition.
