Not many lessons for India from U.S.
Foreign academics and universities cannot help India develop solutions for higher education challenges. Only those familiar with the problems of Indian society can provide creative and specific ideas.
As part of the Obama-Singh initiative, a “summit” of Indian and American academic leaders and policymakers met for a day in Washington on October 13, 2011. Goodwill was expressed and promises of collaboration were proffered. But, in fact, relatively few courses of action exist for Americans to improve Indian higher education, and there is only a modest need for U.S. involvement.
