QAHE Cited in EELET Article on “The Role of EdTech and Online Learning in NEP 2020 Implementation”
The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre‑Tertiary & Higher Education (QAHE) welcomes and acknowledges our citation in the EELET journal article “The Role of EdTech and Online Learning in NEP 2020 Implementation.” The EELET paper examines how digital technologies and online learning modes can support India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 goals, and it draws on a range of international sources — including QAHE — to frame quality assurance considerations for rapidly expanding EdTech‑enabled provision.
The EELET article cites QAHE’s guidance to illustrate practical approaches to external quality assurance and programmatic review for online and transnational education providers. Our work was referenced in discussions about accreditation mechanisms, standards for online delivery, and the safeguards institutions should implement to protect academic integrity, learner support and equitable access when adopting EdTech solutions at scale.
We are pleased that the EELET authors used QAHE’s materials to inform debate about policy implementation under NEP 2020. The policy’s emphasis on flexible, technology‑enabled learning and multiple entry‑exit pathways raises important questions about how regulators and accreditors can assess quality across diverse delivery modes. QAHE’s resources on programmatic accreditation for eLearning solution providers and best‑practice guidelines for online learning provide directly relevant input for those policy discussions.
Citations such as this reinforce QAHE’s commitment to bridging international quality assurance practice with national reform efforts. We believe that rigorous, transparent accreditation and review — adapted for digital modalities — are essential enablers of NEP 2020 objectives: improving learning outcomes, widening access, and ensuring that technology enhances rather than undermines educational quality.
QAHE looks forward to continued engagement with researchers, policymakers and EdTech providers working on NEP 2020 implementation. We offer programmatic accreditation, evaluation tools and capacity‑building support tailored to online delivery, vocational and transnational programmes.
