Abstract
The aim of this research was to explore the critical indicators of evaluating higher education system. The data was obtained according to the available information from websites of relevant authoritative organizations like U.S. News and Universitas 21, etc. The national higher education system was evaluated by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model, then by further establishing the dual index evaluation model which includes the concepts of Health Index (H), Sustainability Index (S), finally, combined the two-index by Mckinsey matrix. This research ranked the sustainability and health of higher education systems from 10 countries in 2020 where it reflected that Unites States had the highest evaluation weight while India and Brazil still had room for improvement. Using India as the research subject, the health and sustainability degree of the improved higher education system were analyzed by Lanchester’s equation. According to the results of the evaluation model, a policy implementation model was proposed to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of India’s higher education system.
