Internationalization of Indian Higher Education
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) makes provisions for the internationalization of higher education. India signed the World Trade Organization agreement, including GATS, in 1994. GATS and WTO have the potential to impact the import and export of higher education within India. At the present time, India has begun making appropriate changes in legislation to formalize trade in the higher education sector. This chapter narrates the experiences of India in the internationalization of education. The chapter examines political, economic, socio cultural, academic, and political issues of cross nation education in India. The analysis is based on document surveys and critical analyses of the policies of India regarding the internationalization of education. DOI: 10.4018/978 1 4666 0206 9.ch008
