In his first trip as prime minister, Anthony Albanese is strengthening ties with India by unveiling a new agreement on education.
If you’re a part of Australia’s sizable Indian diaspora, you can be more confident that your Indian qualifications will be recognized in Australia because more Indian students studying in Australia will have their degrees recognized when they return home.
“Another key advancement in our bilateral education cooperation,” according to Albanese, is the Australia-India Education Qualifications Recognition System.
That is the most extensive and ambitious agreement that India has ever reached with any nation, according to Albanese.
It opens up business potential for Australian education providers to supply Indian students with cutting-edge, more accessible education.
And it gives our tertiary institutions a strong foundation on which to develop novel collaborations.
With the bold goal of strengthening connections with India, Australia’s sixth-largest trading partner, Albanese has led a delegation of roughly twenty leaders from the business, resources, and educational sectors to India.
Albanese will also have a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi while there.
Albanese claimed that his announcement from last night was the most recent development in “our ever-expanding education collaboration”.
In his speech, he made notice of the University of Wollongong’s plans to do the same as well as the fact that Deakin University was the first foreign university to receive approval to open a campus in India.
Also, Albanese disclosed the Maitri Scholarships, a more recent scholarship program that allows Indian students to study in Australia for up to four years.
According to Albanese, the word maitri means friendship.
