Indian Students Should Get International-Standard Education'

SINGAPORE: Indian students should be able to get international-standard education at universities in the country using the expertise of globally acclaimed Indian origin academicians, a Switzerland-based educational foundation has said.

International Baccalaureate (IB) has called for more policies allowing Indian universities to "easily give credit to IB", and observed the high teaching standards of Indian academicians in international universities in the US, Europe and other continents.

"It would be really nice if the Indian universities start to recognise the value of IB Students," Siva Kumari, Chief Operating Officer of IB said.

She stressed that the Indian students should be able to get international standard education from local universities rather than to study abroad.

It would be possible to create international standard universities in India, with enhanced regulatory environment, allowing investments in the education sector and using the expertise of internationally acclaimed academicians of Indian-origin, she said.
