Opportunities in the Australia-India International Education Relationship
Prepared by Dr Andrew Deuchar (Australia India Institute), Ben Apted (SPP) and Rebecca Forgasz (SPP)
India is Australia’s second largest market for international education. However, there remain significant untapped opportunities to further develop this relationship.
In late 2021, as the international education sector was looking to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, SPP partnered with the Australia India Institute (AII), the Australia India Chamber of Commerce (AICC), and Australia India Youth Dialogue (AIYD), to convene a three-part workshop series to understand and explore opportunities and challenges for the growth of the Australia-India education relationship.
Held between December 2021 and August 2022, the series brought together representatives from universities, industry, and government to explore current and emerging trends in these sectors, and explored a number of interconnected themes.
This paper presents the key insights that emerged from the workshop series, all of which remain relevant to the Australia-India bilateral relationship within the higher education context.
