Ten Emerging Trends in Indian Education: 2024 and Beyond

India’s education system, one of the largest globally with 1.5 million schools, around 1,250 universities, over 50,000 colleges, and 13,000 stand-alone higher education institutions, is on the brink of a significant transformation. This network, which currently caters to over 300 million students across various educational segments, is set to expand even further as the Gross Enrollment Ratios are expected to surge in 2024 and beyond. This expansion is not just confined to urban centers but is increasingly spreading into rural India and cities beyond the top 100, areas that are poised to generate a substantial portion of the fresh demand for education.
