Indo-Global Education Summit 2013Indian educational system has been undergoing a paradigm shiftin the recent past. India has the world’s second largest postsecondarystudent population of around 20 million. India has over611 universities and university-level institutions and 31,400colleges, and yet the gross enrollment ratio (GER) is low with only20 per hundred accessing higher education. India is far behindthe developed countries’ average of 45 per hundred. TheGovernment of India has set a GER target of 30 per cent by 2020and for that to be achieved, the number of universities and collegeswill have to be increased many fold, while enhancing the quality ofexisting institutions..A major challenge is educational excellence. India has islands ofexcellence but the overall education standards are poor.

Students whosuccessfully complete the existing curricula and the additionalcurricula will be given degrees by the foreign universities.AICTE: Collaborative degree programs which are technical innature, namely, Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science,Business, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Pharmacy,etc., require the approval of statutory bodies such as the All IndiaCouncil of Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi.Certificate ProgramsCertificate programs include corporate training programs, executivedevelopment programs, and management developmentprograms. Graduate and Post-Graduate certificate programs aresought in virtually every discipline, including in business, education,health sciences, information technology, humanities, and the arts.Certificate programs are of interest because of their short duration.Students completing the certificate programs offered through Indianinstitutions will be given certificates by foreign universities.Twinning / Transfer ProgramsTwinning / Transfer programs allow Indian institutions to offerGraduate and Post-Graduate programs which will have theirregular curricula. The existing curricula may be supplemented byadditional curricula of the foreign universities if desired by Indianinstitutions. Through Twinning / Transfer programs, Indianstudents will be able to earn several credits during the course oftheir normal study in Indian institutions. Students will have theopportunity either to complete their studies in India or to transfertheir credits to the foreign universities at any time after completingat least one year of their studies in Indian institutions. Studentswho opt for transfer can then finish their Degree programs bycompleting the remainder of credits in-residence at the foreignuniversities.Twinning / Transfer programs are “win-win” situations for allconcerned parties. Indian institutions are strengthened by accessto the latest in foreign curricular developments. Foreign-boundIndian students save substantial cost of studying abroad.Students enrolling in the Graduate and Post-Graduate programsof the foreign universities will be given Degrees by the foreignuniversities after successful completion of study. Students whodo not plan to go to the foreign universities and students whohave been unable to get foreign visas will complete their programof study in India, and would be awarded Indian Degrees by theIndian institutions concerned.Distance Education ProgramsThe phenomenal growth of distance education is explained bythe fact that over 90% of college students access the Internet, with50% accessing the Web daily. Also, Indian companies andorganizations are spending huge amounts on in-house trainingand education programs through distance and blended mode.BLENDED LEARNINGBlended Learning is the process of incorporating many differentlearning styles that can be accomplished through the use of‘blended’ virtual and physical resources. Some of the benefitsare:• Blended learning won’t interfere with student’s current job• Student will cut down on commuting time and costs – savemoney on petrol and parking.• Student can meet and connect with classmates online and inperson• Student can enjoy learning in a hands-on environment• Taking classes at an Indian institution closest to student’swork or home means more convenience and flexibility.CORPORATE EDUCATION: Foreign universities can developcustom educational programs which would be primarily deliveredby Indian instructors who are experts in their fields. Foreignuniversities’ reputation as valuable collaborators and resources,and the breadth of their programs could enable them to facilitatethe growth of leading corporations, public agencies, and nonprofitorganizations in India.Indian institutions including companies and organizations, inacademic collaboration with foreign universities, will be able tooffer an array of degree, diploma, and certificate programs atBachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral levels in a wide range of fields.Students will receive degrees, diplomas, and certificates from theconcerned foreign universities after successful completion of theprograms in India.11

Vocational Education ProgramsVocational education in India aims to develop skilled manpowerthrough diversified courses to meet the requirements of organizedand unorganized sectors and to instill self-employment skills inpeople through a large number of self employment orientedcourses. It is expected that there will be an acute shortage ofskilled manpower in the world by 2022. Indian manpower will behandy by then. Government of India has already announced skilldevelopment for 500 million Indians by 2022.In the USA and some other countries, community colleges(technical colleges) are primarily two-year institutions of highereducation. After graduating from a community college, somestudents transfer to a university or liberal arts college for two yearsto complete a bachelor’s degree, while others enter the workforce.Community colleges serve the needs of society through trainingskilled workers and also provide opportunity to students continuetheir education in professional colleges. Indian institutions havea wide range of opportunities for collaborating with foreigncommunity colleges and technical colleges for skills development.Faculty Exchange ProgramsFaculty exchange programs would provide participants with theopportunity to teach or conduct research for one semester or anacademic year at a foreign university. Faculty members wouldbenefit from exposure to a culturally varied and diverse facultymake-up, with an opportunity to exchange ideas and observe avariety of styles. Faculty exchange program is one way to takeadvantage of the benefits of diverse faculty.In order to create diverse faculty, foreign universities and Indianinstitutions can develop plans for faculty exchange programs. Thebenefit will be immediate, and students will have the opportunityto learn concepts and ideas presented in an entirely new anddifferent manner. The faculty exchange programs present a uniqueopportunity for interaction between foreign universities and Indianinstitutions.Student Exchange ProgramsIn student exchange programs between Indian institutions andforeign universities, students choose to study abroad and viceversa in collaborating institutions. An exchange student could livewith a host family or in a designated place including hostel, affordableapartment / house or student lodge. The cost for eachprogram differs according to countries and institutions. The participantscould either receive scholarship / loan, or be self-funded.Programs vary depending upon program length, country, contentand other factors. Students going on university exchange couldpay tuition fees on home campus. Students going on exchangeprogram could choose either to live on campus or off campus.Partnership ProgramsAcademic Partnership programs can be established for thepurpose of improving the academic quality of Indian seniorsecondary schools, junior colleges, and degree colleges.Partnership programs help to improve the preparation of studentsfor entry into foreign universities.Partnerships between Indian institutions and the foreignuniversities may be entered into, so that Indian students whocomplete 12th standard could be admitted as freshmen inGraduate programs of foreign universities. Similar partnershipsmay be entered into so that Indian Graduate students may beadmitted to Post-Graduate programs in foreign universities directly.Partnership programs provide a measure of certainty to students inIndian institutions that they will be accepted in good foreign universities.Students will be spared the stress of having to prepare for the highlycompetitive entrance examinations in India with the knowledge thattheir admission in foreign universities is almost assured.Study Abroad in India ProgramsStudy abroad in India programs will foster intercultural developmentamong students, who will have the understanding and skills to effectively,humanely, and positively navigate across different cultures.Studying abroad in India for a semester or year will give studentsa fresh perspective on themselves, India, and the world. It willexpose them to diverse people and viewpoints, and they will getto experience a different way of life apart from their own in theircountry. They will be immersed in the language, culture, andpeople of the host country and will get to experience life asresidents, not as mere tourists. While studying in India, they willalso earn credit towards their current degree.Students will pay the regular tuition and fees, room and boardexpenses, to their parent institution. Foreign universities will payan agreed amount to Indian institutions for providing tuition, roomand board. International travel costs will be borne by the students.Summits 2012, 2011, 2010 & 2009The Indus Foundation has been privileged to organize EducationSummits in 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in India.
