Panel Discussion on Internationalization of Indian Higher Education: 20 Nov 09
What does the entry of foreign universities in India mean for Indian students? Will it mean better or more expensive education? Can Indian universities meet the challenge that foreign universities pose?
These issues will be discussed and debated during a panel discussion on Internationalization of Indian Higher Education: The Impact of Foreign Universities in India at the Administrative Staff College of India, Bella Vista, on Friday, 20 November 2009, at 5 p.m. Prof. Arun Nigavekar, eminent educationist and former Chair, University Grants Commission, and Mr. Cornelius Keur, Consul General of the United States in Hyderabad, will be leading the discussion. Dr. S. K. Rao, Director General of ASCI, will also participate in the panel discussion.
Also attending the meeting will be a large number of Vice Chancellors, academics and Fulbright Fellows, who will gather as part of the International Education Week, 16-20 November. The discussion will kick-start a longer engagement by intellectuals and the larger community on the key issues-such as access, equity, quality and resources-that affect Indian higher education today.
