Joining the delegation are around 100 Australian businesses and organisations, as well as Austrade CEO Dr Stephanie Fahey, who said that the mission is focused on strengthening Australia’s education ties with India and building Australia’s reputation for high-quality education.
“With a young, aspirational population, the demands on India’s education system will continue to grow, driving demand for high-quality education for the current generation and their children.
“India’s education system is looking to the world for specific capabilities to help it adapt and prepare for the future, and Australia is perfectly placed to partner with India as both nations strive for sustainable higher education sectors,” Dr Fahey said.
“Australia’s education ties to India are strong – India is Australia’s second largest source of international students, and Australian universities are already highly active in India,” said Austrade General Manager of South Asia, Catherine Gallagher.
