Analysis of Higher Education Enrollment Trends in Barak Valley, Assam

Author(s) Fateha Begum
Country India
Abstract This study analyzes gender-based Enrollment trends in higher education institutions across Barak Valley, Assam, over the period 2020–2024. The findings indicate a consistent upward trajectory in female Enrollment, contrasted by a noticeable decline in male participation, thereby emphasizing initial gender disparities in higher education access. The study identifies several underlying factors influencing these trends, including socio-economic dynamics,
institutional infrastructure, and the efficacy of policy interventions. The observed patterns suggest systemic challenges that disproportionately affect male students, warranting the formulation and implementation of targeted, evidence-based strategies to enhance male engagement in higher education and to address the broader socio-economic conditions contributing to this imbalance. The declining participation of males in higher education represents a critical challenge with far-reaching implications for future economic growth. A
gender imbalance in educational attainment particularly the underrepresentation of men can lead to skill shortages, reduced labour market competitiveness, and lower overall economic output. Moreover, research suggests that lower male educational attainment is correlated with higher rates of unemployment, underemployment, and social disengagement, including increased involvement in crime and reduced family formation. Addressing this issue requires
targeted interventions, including gender-sensitive educational policies, mentorship programs, and reforms to make higher education more accessible and relevant to a broader spectrum of male students especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
