Are Indian students getting quality education abroad?
Indian students have always been a sought-after group globally. But are they getting quality education or are they just being used as a money-spinner by foreign universities?
Indian Education Exports on the Rise
According to a recent report, the number of Indian students studying abroad has increased by 15% in the last year alone. With over 500,000 Indian students pursuing higher education abroad, India has become the third-largest source of international students globally.
But, the real question is, what kind of education are these students getting? Are they being provided with quality education or are they just being used to fill seats and generate revenue for foreign universities?
The answer lies in the fact that most Indian students are being forced to take up low-paying jobs or even scholarships to fund their education. This not only affects their quality of life but also raises questions about the value of education.
Moreover, many foreign universities are now offering online courses, which raises concerns about the authenticity of these courses. With no regulatory body to oversee the quality of education, Indian students are at risk of being duped.
The government needs to take immediate action to regulate the education sector and ensure that Indian students are provided with quality education abroad.
