India’s recent regulatory changes have opened up a “major platform for collaboration between countries”, the Indian government told UK universities participating in a trade mission this week.
Speaking at the British Council’s India-UK higher education conference in New Delhi, Neeta Prasad, joint secretary at India’s Ministry of Education, said the country’s education ecosystem has “undergone a massive transformation” over the last three years and “that transformation is still going on”.
India has brought in several regulatory reforms in recent years to strengthen the internationalisation of its education sector, a goal set out in the country’s 2020 National Education Policy.
“We have rapid changes in the policies that allow us to collaborate with foreign institutions,” Prasad said.
