Education Minister Jason Clare will lead a delegation of university executives to India – his second this year – as they look to expand their presence in the country.
Australian universities are hoping to set up campuses in India to tap into the country’s enormous education market.
Federal Education Minister Jason Clare will lead a delegation of university executives to India on Sunday, his second such trip this year following one in March, in a bid to cement Australia’s role in educating Indian students in their home country by setting up campuses where they can complete undergraduate and post graduate degrees.
“The key message here is international education isn’t a one-way street. It’s not just about students coming here. It’s about Australian universities going to the world because the truth is most young people can’t afford to come to Australia to study for a uni degree. We can take this export industry to them,” Clare said.
“That’s really what we’re hoping to achieve – more Indian students studying literally in Australia as well as having a very significant presence in India. It also gives us a base for our collaborative research and outreach in India,” Glover said.He said WSU’s Indian campus, if approved by the country’s regulators, would focus on teaching STEM degrees, employ a mix of local and Australian academics, and would aim to grow enrolments to over 1000 students within the first five years.
“What we are interested in is what would it look like for a group of universities to work together, not to do more recruitment of students coming into Australia, but to actually operate in India and deliver education in India together as a group,” executive director Paul Harris said.
