folks,
here is an article in time magazine
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1913653,00.html
perhaps you are familiar with this topic ie the union government is thinking of permitting renowned foreign universities to set up shop in india and issue degrees
they have touched the topic of reservation in this article, but not with the complexity that we are familiar.
other than that, my query to the public is:
- how will this be received by status conscious indians. has the desi harvard degree the same mavusu as the phoren amreekan one?
- the fee difference (atleast per this article) is only about 15% which for those affording to send their kids abroad is not sufficient enough to tip the scale in favour of the homegrown hybrid
- which leads me to wonder: why only 15% tuition differential? our professors are still paid only a fraction of the amreekan or european ones. is it fat profit for the promoters?
- this does not still alter the fact that our schools systems are faulty with poor infrastructure and poorly paid insufficiently trained teachers
- will this really reduce the number of indian students who seek to go abroad to study. per this article, most of them go with a view to settling down in the country of study.
thank you.
