Abstract	Social demand for higher education has more than doubled in the past 20 years. However, only one-third of all countries' higher education systems are enrolling more than 50% of the traditional age cohort. Despite major advancements in achieving higher levels of access and participation, inequalities and inequities in higher education persist and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) launched the "SDG 4 Planning for Flexible Learning Pathways in Higher Education" project in 2018, to support efforts to promote equity and lifelong learning opportunities for all by investing in flexible higher education systems. The project has identified policies and practices that support flexible learning pathways (FLPs) in higher education for a variety of students. The UNESCO definition of FLPs encompasses "entry points and re-entry points at all ages and all educational levels, strengthened links between formal and non-formal structures, and recognition, validation and accreditation of the knowledge, skills and competencies acquired through non-formal and informal education." In collaboration with IIEP-UNESCO, the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA) carried out an in-depth case study of policies and practices that supports FLPs in India. A research team conducted interviews and focus group discussions with 42 respondents in late 2019 representing two national-level contrasting higher education institutions: IIT-Delhi, an elite technical institution, and Bharathiar University, a premier state university. The interviews were complemented by a review of relevant national projects, legislative documents, and national statistical databases. (ERIC).
