...country with so much potential, the Indian educational system fails at creating and encouraging leaders, instead quashing the creativity our own system champions among its youth. Many Indian students are complacent working for American companies in outsourced IT jobs, although many are far smarter than their foreign employers. Whereas an average American student may never match up to his Indian counterpart on the basis of test scores or work ethic, political, economic, and, most importantly, pedagogical asymmetry almost guarantees that the latter will end up working for the former. This sad fact of globalization, perhaps rooted in the investment each...
While many foreign universities already have Indian partnerships in place, their models of business vary. Carnegie Mellon, for instance, has for the past eight years offered a master's program at the Chennai-based Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar School of Advanced Software Engineering. Students fork over $53,000 for the 18-month program - 15% lower than if the coursework were done in the U.S. They also spend the last six months at Carnegie Mellon's Pittsburgh campus.

India's new Minister for Human Resource Development, Kapil Sibal, wants to make that happen. Sibal intends to have new laws in place by next July that would open up India's heavily regulated educational system to foreign players, with a goal of building a skilled pool of local managers and workers to help run an economy that continues to grow at a rate of 6.7%. Sibal also intends to make this new wave of higher...
...Minister Pranab Mukherjee increased the budget for higher education by 55% to $3.1 billion, saying that "the demographic advantage that India has needs to be converted into a dynamic economic advantage by providing the right education and skills." Taking cues from India's politicians, nearly all of the major foreign English-language universities now have an eye on India. Next January, Allan Goodman, president and CEO of the New York-based Institute of International Education (IIE), with which some 800 U.S. colleges are affiliated, plans to take a 20-college delegation to India to explore opportunities to set up programs...
