Globalisation and higher education: An Indian perspective

Abstract

Globalisation has, it is widely acknowledged. thrown open new
challenges for higher education policy in developing countries. With
corporations increasingly catering to global markets, multinationals
using developing countries as locations for world market production
and the share of services in international trade rising, the demand
for a more homogenous structure of higher education has increased. In
the process, education itself is becoming an important component of
global services trade. This paper tracks this evolution and assesses
India's still ambiguous attitude to the methods of entry and operation
of foreign universities and to the trade in educational services in
the light of global development.
