  Attract Foreign studentsto our Higher education Institiutes – latest addition in New education Policy If we take a review of last 40 years in western world, Commercialization of HE in terms of recruitment of foreign students is one and most popular aspect of globalization in HE. However there are many disturbing facts in which these universities operate. If we look back at history, British universities were known as leaders in providing low cost education to foreign students. It is said that as Margret Thatcher took over a low British economy era in 1979, her secretary of state for education came to know that there is going to be 100 million cut for University budgets and was suggested by then civil servant at treasury, that you simply make overseas students pay full fees costs and stop subsidizing the tuition fees, and even small universities were sitting in overseas markets recruiting students in order to get funds. 3 copyright@l’strategique2020

  Student/Faculty Exchange – Anotherpopular way catching up over last decade Indian Universities are developing partnerships with International Universities to send a group of their students on an educational trip. This gives a short term exposure to their college campus, infrastructure, professors, tutorials, assessment modes and local city tours, sometimes also including trip to an industrial plant or corporate office. This is a great mode of globalization. Developing similar trips from foreign Universities as a Faculty exchange is another big way to internationalize Higher education. Keeping one module to be taught by International faculty is great way to get students accustomed to a foreign pedagogy. Online learning with blended mode and an active live tutorial is great way of globalizing yet keeping costs minimum by saving on travel and living costs of external faculty. I had first taste of a foreign professor teaching in 2001, during my visit to Abdus Salam ICTP, Italy. The zeal from being a follower of curriculum to creator of new wave had been sown there. I knew , that this would need time and efforts beyond my regular job to realize this dream some day even in miniscule, and I started looking for more and more information on how to achieve this for my college students. 5 copyright@l’strategique2020

  Making International research experienceas a part of higher studies Globalization or Internationalization has always been there in research, Science and Maths. As you go to Rutherford’s discovery of atom, or Max planck’s theory, they both had contacts with all researchers and scientists from all over the world. He would talk with everyone and everyone around would talk to him and among these global interactions, are created innovations, discoveries and taken notice of. copyright@l’strategique2020

  Making International research experienceas a part of higher studies Partnerships between Indian and International Universities to make half an year lab facilities available to the research scholars is another way to get knowledge about research methods, way of thinking and getting into pool of International think tanks . Mutual fellowship awards and scholarships make a part of such exchanges and DST , UGC do have some schemes on these lines. Job openings of post doctoral research fellowships, research assistants are then easily manageable by both nations copyright@l’strategique2020

  My contribution ina small way When I completed Ph.D, I used to sit through long hours in IIT Delhi library to read through latest journals. In those times there was no emails or internet. It took at least 6 months to get my paper published after being posted. We had to wait for months together to know what is being already achieced seven seas across. In 2008, I was introduced to this professional network by my husband, initially I was baffled with only corporate profiles on it, there was none from Delhi university to start with and then slowly I started sending connecting request to scientists from USA. Soon in 2008, I founded a linkedin superspecialised group on Semiconductor device modeling and simulation with 10 of my connections. Today with more than 4200 members ranging from Founders, Vice Presidents, to research scientists and enrolled Ph.D students from companies like intel, Qualcomm, Global foundry and several leading Universities from World , the group is actively engaged among its members serving the purpose of immediate knowledge transfer, quick access to openings in post- doctoral positions, research fellowships, conferences and guidance among members. copyright@l’strategique2020

  Infrastructure, teaching pedagogy and support services Arevery very crucial not only for international but our own students in terms of providing help in “remedial classes, concierge services, visa guidance, part time jobs, placements, storage and accommodation, private or on campus” Framework for providing work permit visas and job help sections copyright@l’strategique2020

  Reforms Required instructured way Delivery standards Quality – a) parity of curriculum at par with International standards, b) Parity in credit system at par with home country to start with & International systems c) Different timings of sessions as compared to other parts of the world Mode of delivery Blended Learning – In order to be at par with International Higher education systems, blended learning is to be nurtured heavily as mandatory part of Institutes. Online tutorials + assessments + support services = Success For example in crisis times foreign students moving back to their homes should be able to continue classes, exams 12 copyright@l’strategique2020
