III. Improved managerial and organizational.
IV. Promote competitivenes
o Export
I. FDI in education might lead to export of Indian education abroad in which there are large
potentials in South East Asia, Africa, Latin America etc.
II. Education may, therefore, turnout to be net exporter and earner of foreign exchange.
ADVANTAGES
o There are limited seats in Indian colleges and universities. So, allowing FDI
would increase more opportunities to study for Indian students.
o Many students are going abroad to pursue higher education. If foreign
universities come to India, then some of these students will surely stay in
India and study here.
o Indian economy is incurring an expense of more than $4 billion every year.
o It will also ensure world class research facilities for Indian students.
Disadvantages
It will hurt the nation's culture and character.
The syllabi would not reflect Indian culture and ideas, merely an alien one.
The institutions would be coming to India simply to make money, not work in
the interest of the Indian nation
HRD MINISTER POLICY

sector.
Allowing private investment, including from abroad.
Common syllabi for the two disciplines would help students compete
on an equal footing at national level entrance tests for various streams
of specialized study.
Children below the age of 4 can not be admitted into a school.
CONCLUSION
At times, students in twinning programmes have not been able to obtain visas
to study abroad at the foreign partner's campus.
