Registration: Developments in Indian Education: Perspective, Opportunities, and Challenges (wes.org)

About the Webinar: India is one of the top sending countries of international students and educated professionals to the United States and Canada. Each year, thousands of Indian students enroll in degree programs in these countries. This influx of professionals, students, and immigrants from India creates an incomparable impact on receiving countries contributing to the most dynamic sectors of the economy in their host countries.

India’s own education system continues to undergo an unprecedented expansion and modernization as part of the country’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, a comprehensive framework designed to guide the nation’s educational strategy until 2040. The goals of the NEP 2020 are ambitious – the policy seeks to transform India into “an equitable and vibrant knowledge society, by providing high-quality education to all, and thereby making India a global knowledge superpower.”

On September 12, 2022, WES senior evaluators will discuss education in India with Dr. Pankaj Mittal, Secretary General, Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Please join this discussion to learn more about the powerful transformation now underway in India.
