INDIA: Green light for foreign technical schools
27.02.2011 India's technical education regulator has come up with a policy that allows foreign institutions to set up campuses anywhere in the country even before a law to allow them entry has been enacted.
The new All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) provisions, however, pack stiffer conditions that include registration as not-for-profit organisations and deny foreign institutes permission to offer their own degrees. The new norms, which replace a 2003 policy, come at a time a proposed law on entry of foreign education providers is pending with a parliamentary committee. Under the Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation and Entry and Operations) Bill, 2010, foreign institutes can offer their own degrees. They also do not need to register as a society or a trust or Section 25 company as the revised AICTE policy mandates. Although the foreign education law is yet to be enacted, sources said the revised AICTE norms would allow foreign universities to set up campuses in India. "The revised policy gives a roadmap for enhancing collaboration between Indian and foreign institutions in teaching and research. It also lays down guidelines for foreign institutions to set up campuses in India, a top source for AICTE told The Telegraph. Source: the Telegraph India University World News |
