SCOPE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA • Higher education is a priority for the growing middle class: Projected World Bank, 2010 from 50 million now, to 500 million by 2025. By 2020, India will be the world’s third largest economy . • The world’s biggest tertiary-age population :India will outpace China in the next ten years as the country with the largest tertiary-age population. (World Bank 2010). This is being driven by three main factors: economic growth, demographics and politics. • The supply-demand gap: India has a low rate of enrolment in higher education, at only 18%, compared with 26% in China and 36% in Brazil. There is enormous unmet demand for higher education. • By 2020, the Indian government aims to achieve 30% gross enrolment, which will mean providing 40 million university places, an increase of 14 million in six years
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH FACTORS Huge demand/ supply gap in the Education sector; • Greater number of private players venturing into the Education sector • Growth of services sector, particularly the Information Technology sector, leading to demand for skilled workers • Increasing FDI into the Education sector; • Increase in Internet based education methods; • Increased ability to capitalise on brand and reputation; -
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH FACTORS • Enhanced interest has been shown by Foreign Universities in the Indian Higher Education sector due to: • Increased focus of the Government of India on liberalising the Education sector in recent times, manifested by the proposed introduction of trendsetting Bills like Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and Operations) Bill, 2010, Educational Tribunals Bill, 2010 etc;
