INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION
The Government, in
order to attract more foreign students to Indian Universities
has permitted 15% supernumerary seats in all institutions for
foreign/NRI students. Besides, the Government has also set up
a Committee on Promotion of Indian Education Abroad (COPIEA) which
will generate ideas and identify programmes and areas for promotion
of Indian Education abroad and chalk out strategy for implementing
the same. It is anticipated that India and China, will together
generate over half of the global demand for international higher
education within the next 25 years. This is according to a study
conducted by IDP Education, a private company in Australia.
This information
was given by the Union Minister of State for Humana Resource Development,
Dr Vallabhbhai Kathiria in written reply to a question in the
Lok Sabha today.
