academic reform
University system changes
Academic reform refers to deliberate changes in educational institutions—their curricula, teaching methods, assessment systems, or governance structures.
The term appears in contexts ranging from university admissions policies to classroom practices: The committee proposed academic reform to address declining graduation rates.
Reform implies improvement, though what counts as improvement often sparks debate among educators, administrators, students, and policymakers.
