India to showcase its leadership in education in London

India CSR News Network

LONDON: Great Place to Study (GPTS) Research Institute, an international auditing firm commissioned by SkillTree Knowledge Consortium to certify and audit Indian colleges, together with the international business and communications consultancy Sterling Media, bring to UK shores the 3rd Great Place to Study India Edition initiative, an international award and felicitation platform for India’s higher education institutions and colleges.

The 3rd Great Place to Study India Edition initiative comprises a two-day delegation of India and UK academics, educationists, public figures and business leaders. They will convene to not only spotlight India’s advancements in education but also the cross-border relations shared between UK and India, especially in the face of UK’s hard exit from the European Union and the 70th anniversary of the business and cultural ties between India-UK.

UK-India bilateral trade grew by 170% between 2004 and 2014, and India is currently the third largest investor in the UK, and the second largest international job creator, with Indian companies having created over 110,000 jobs in the UK. Also, considering the fact that over 75% of the Fortune 500 companies have a presence in London, the economic partnership between the two nations also creates a trickledown effect on the scope for expanding the bilateral relationship in education.

Explaining the vision behind establishing Great Place To Study Research Institute, Founder Shekhar A. Bhattacharjee, says, “Accessing the best education institutes in India, with listings based on real time data was missing. Being listed in various education portals or static advertisements do not allow 21st century students to make qualified decisions on their education. To ensure the highest quality amongst institutions, those that do not meet the requirements for our minimum score will not be listed, allowing for students to discern between good institutes and truly great ones.

In addition to launching a global web platform for searching, selecting and enrolling in our certified institutes, we are now aiming to list and certify 2000 universities and 5000 schools from UK and Asia by 2020, to support the global student community’s decision making process driven by real time data.”

The two-day delegation commences tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd February 2017 at The Mayfair Hotel with GPTS Research Institute and Sterling Media hosting the 3rd Indo-UK Thought Leadership Awards. The awards will be conferred to eminent figures from India for their contribution to highest standards of ethical conduct, integrity, civic and social responsibility. Committed to nurturing the partnership between UK and India, GPTS Research Institute and Sterling Media introduced a UK segment to the awards, to award select business and education leaders from the UK, further promoting bilateral trade relations between the nations.  Individuals will be awarded across sectors such as “Women in Leadership”, “Global Icon”, “Business, Innovation & Entrepreneurship”, “Youth Icon”, “Education Empowerment”, and “UK-India International Relations”.

Attendees will include esteemed political and public figures, VIPs, business stalwarts, social contributors and lynchpins of the education and business sector from the UK and India, who will experience first-hand the Indian education success story, a benchmark for international standards.

With the long standing bilateral relationship between the UK and India already yielding phenomenal results across areas ranging from business and trade to research and education, the Indo-UK Thought Leadership Awards helps to build our emphasis on the exponential potential that the India and the UK hold, through forging a dialogue as the two nations celebrate 70 years of co-operation and partnership.”

Arvina Purkayastha, Co-Founder, SkillTree Knowledge Consortium and COO, Great Place To Study adds, “With a relationship that goes back centuries, the trajectories of both India and the UK have always been influenced and dependent on the other. The 21st century has seen this partnership evolve into a special relationship across cultural, technological, trade, educational and research boundaries. The 3rd Indo-UK Thought leadership awards draw on this very international relationship to recognise and honour the leaders, influencers and trailblazers in the field of education who have contributed to the betterment to both countries.” 

India’s talent needs to be retained through preventing brain drain that is currently a major problem in the nation.

India opens doors to International Students as UK closes it’s doors

Despite India sharing strong economic ties between several countries globally, Indian government launching ambitious plans to increase the current higher education participation rate from international students, currently standing at 18% (compared to 26% in China and 36% in Brazil) to 30% by 2020[1]

India has the potential to become an international education hub, and the international go-to destination for higher-education.

The tools required for setting India up on the pedestal already exist and simply require combined effort of the public and government to leverage its position as an international education destination.

The Indian education infrastructure, with simple amends, can accommodate international students and provide them an academically and socially sound experience.

THE RESPONSE

 India is today at the forefront of a global education revolution to lead the way in advances in learning and education development to attract international students.

The prevalent use of the English language automatically makes India an attractive destination for international students from all walks of life.

Soft-skills training centres for teachers in India can be a great solution to improving the academic and social life of students in India.
