Inclusive Enrollment Policy, ICT and Disintegrating Teaching￾Learning Process: Where do Universities Stand in this Paradox?

Abstract

Recognizing the significance of education in the development of valuable Human Capital, investing in appropriate infrastructure for providing quality education to all is presently high on the policy agenda of India. However, looking at the diversity of the population in terms of caste, class, and region, every attempt to ensure quality education has an inherent challenge to be addressed. The present paper aims to understand the efficacy and reliability of having an inclusive admission policy and a simultaneous ICT-enabled teaching-learning methodology in vogue. The article argues that an inclusive admission policy demands a teaching-learning methodology that equally minimizes otherwise prevailing disparities. Having IT enabled facilities requires an efficient mechanism to train the stakeholders and create mass awareness about the facilities that would enable everyone to have equal access to the facilities.
