Hyd to host Indo-Global Education Summit

The fourth edition of the Indo-Global Education Summit 2012 will be held at Hyderabad from September 6. The main purpose behind the summit is to foster research and academic collaborations, promote universal equitable access to education, and to make India an economic competitor in the global market.

“The Indian economy is transforming into an international powerhouse, which requires India to have the best possible educational opportunities. We are seeking meaningful collaborations for making values to exchange undergraduate programmes, to access global knowledge etc,” said CD Arha, chairman, the Indus Foundation. The collaborations will mainly work towards tackling global issues like global warming.

 

Our current education system is capable to educate only 10 per cent of the country’s 1.3 billion population.

“Andhra Pradesh alone requires around 30 universities to meet the current level of demand. We should first strengthen our state universities to gain more benefits from these global educational partnerships,” said AR Reddy, vice-chancellor of Yogi Vemana University.

The Indo-Global Summit will see the participation of top 200 foreign universities and over 1,000 Indian universities.
