India has the largest population in the world in the age bracket of 5-24 years with 580 million people, presenting a huge opportunity in the education sector. India holds a prominent place in the global education industry. India has one of the largest networks of higher education institutions in the world. However, there is still a lot of potential for further development and improvement in the education system.
With increasing awareness, private Indian players are collaborating with international brands to provide an international standard of education. Private investments in the Indian education sector have increased substantially over the past two decades. The demand for specialised degrees is also picking up with more students opting for specific industry-focused qualifications. Higher education institutes in India are focusing on creating online programmes due to the increasing demand from consumers.
With innovative technologies such as AI, ML, IoT and blockchain, India's education sector will redefine itself in the years to come. It has also embraced the Education 4.0 revolution, which promotes inclusive learning and increased employability.
The government has implemented policies like the NEP, which will be fully implemented over the course of this decade starting from 2021-22 and will have a strong focus on high-quality vocational education.
