Blended learning, the integration of traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning components, has gained significant attention in higher education. This paper presents a comprehensive review of blended learning in higher education from a policy perspective. It explores the policies and initiatives implemented by educational institutions and government bodies to promote and support blended learning approaches. The objective is to examine the impact of policy decisions on the adoption, implementation, and effectiveness of blended learning in higher education settings. The review encompasses a wide range of policies and initiatives, including national strategies, institutional guidelines, funding schemes, and regulatory frameworks. It explores how policies have shaped the integration of online technologies, learning management systems, and digital resources into traditional classroom settings. Furthermore, it investigates the role of policies in fostering collaboration among faculty members, promoting professional development opportunities, and ensuring quality assurance in blended learning initiatives. By understanding the policy landscape, stakeholders can make informed decisions and create an enabling environment that supports the effective implementation of blended learning, ultimately enhancing the quality and accessibility of education in the digital era.
