India’s government is preparing to conduct the country’s first comprehensive survey on higher education, according to asenior education official.

While there are reliable statistics about primary and secondary schools,currently available numbers for higher education are severely inadequate, said Sunil Kumar, additional secretary for higher education at the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

Addressing a conference organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry late last month, he said the survey would map the number of students according to their course of study. Preparations for the exercise are due to be finalized early this year.

The survey is part of a drive by the government as it plans a decade-long expansion to more than double the number of higher educationinstitutions in India. India’s education minister, Kapil Sibal, has pledged to increase the proportion of students enrolled in colleges and universities from 12.4 percent to 30 percent by 2020.

Experts have warned that sharply increasing capacity could affect the quality of education. To address these and other concerns, the government has introduced a bill to set up a new regulatory body, the National Commission for Higher Education and Research.
