Government to monetize online courses to sustain Swayam scheme

Live Mint  

The Union government aims to monetise its online education courses, which have so far been available for free, with online education gaining traction and blended learning set to be the future. Education regulators have approved an internal proposal for asking higher education institutions to pay for the government scheme, Swayam, which promotes online courses and hosts them on a dedicated platform. The move comes after the education regulators allowed colleges and universities to offer 20% of their course online and approved the use of online courses on the Swayam platform for credit transfer. “The commission ratified… the decision of the Swayam board to ask each recognised higher educational institution offering programs on Swayam portal, to pay 15% of the fees collected from students to the Swayam scheme… and to request the Swayam board to make it a cost effective platform for higher educational institutions,” according to the UGC meeting details.
