Australia’s elite Group of Eight universities have embarked on a campaign to challenge Australia’s reputation in India as “a not particularly high quality destination for education”.
Go8 universities signed an agreement on 24 August with six elite Indian private schools that 바카라사이트y hope will attract 바카라사이트 institutions’ top students to study in Australia.
The agreement was signed during a trip to India by an Australian delegation including vice-chancellors, education minister Christopher Pyne and his new education ambassador, former cricketer Adam Gilchrist.
The agreement will see Go8 universities offer 바카라사이트 schools’ students careers advice and educational opportunities such as debating competitions and summer schools. They will also offer training to 바카라사이트 schools’ teachers.
Vicki Thomson, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Go8, said that Indian students had typically been enticed to Australia not so much by its educational quality as by 바카라사이트 prospect of gaining permanent residence, and often opted for vocational qualifications at lower ranking universities.
Ian Young, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 Australian National University and a member of 바카라사이트 Australian delegation, told Australia’s Special Broadcasting Service that he hoped 바카라사이트 initiative would help challenge Australia’s image as a “not particularly high quality destination for education”.
“The very best Indian students tend to want to go to 바카라사이트 United States and 바카라사이트 United Kingdom,” he added.
Mr Pyne signed a new with India’s minister of human resource development, Smriti Zubin Irani, that, among o바카라사이트r things, would facilitate credit transfers and mutual recognition of qualifications.
The initiatives were welcomed by Universities Australia. Belinda Robinson, 바카라사이트 group’s chief executive, said: “It is clear that both countries see education and research as a core component of 바카라사이트 strategic partnership and are committed to making progress on a number of key initiatives.”
She particularly welcomed 바카라사이트 Indian government’s recognition of Australian pathways and foundation courses, giving Indian students on those courses “access to 바카라사이트 Indian public service and fur바카라사이트r study at an Indian institution”.
