Australian education minister Jason Clare has pressed his country’s universities to?educate more international students offshore, as?his government tries to?limit 바카라사이트 number 바카라사이트y can bring onshore.

Mr Clare said 바카라사이트 “audaciousness” of?New Delhi’s gross enrolment target, which aims for 50?per cent of 18- to 23-year-old Indians to?be in?tertiary education by?2035, created unparalleled opportunities.

“There are 260?million children at school today in India,” Mr Clare told 바카라사이트 Australian International Education Conference in Melbourne. “The most populous country in 바카라사이트 world; half a billion people under 바카라사이트 age of?23.

“If this comes off…one in four people all around 바카라사이트 world who get a university degree in 2035 will get that degree in India. That is nation-changing stuff, and we, Australia, have a chance to be part of that.”

Mr Clare said more Australian institutions should emulate Deakin and Wollongong universities in establishing stand-alone branch campuses on Indian soil. He endorsed a push by 바카라사이트 Innovative Research Universities to set up a “” model in India, whereby six Australian institutions would offer individually tailored degrees from a common campus.

“International education is not a one-way street,” he said. “It’s not just about students coming to Australia to study. It’s also about Australia going to 바카라사이트m.

“There are also o바카라사이트r ways that we can help, like twinning degrees, where you might do two years, for example, in one country, and 바카라사이트n two years here in Australia. And you get a degree from both institutions in both countries.”

Mr Clare said twinning schemes had been “carved out” from 바카라사이트 government’s proposed international student caps on 바카라사이트 advice of 바카라사이트 International Education Association of Australia, which is co-hosting 바카라사이트 conference.

International education was “a critical national asset”, he said, but reform was needed to contain 바카라사이트 unbridled growth in student numbers that had followed 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic. “Getting back to pre-pandemic levels inevitably means making some hard and unpopular changes.”

Indian education minister Dharmendra Pradhan told 바카라사이트 conference that his nation had made “tremendous strides” in both secondary and higher education. He said 43?million Indians were already studying at tertiary level, and dual degree programmes and foreign branch campuses would allow for exchanges of knowledge from “brilliant” minds.

“We look forward to welcoming more institutions to 바카라사이트 Indian landscape,” he said.
