Australia is committed to developing education and training ties with India, according to the Inaugural Australia India Institute conference in Melbourne on Sep 23, 2011.
The Australian Parliamentary Secretary for School Education, Senator Jacinta Collins representing Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills Senator Chris Evans announced the government's commitment to strengthening the relationship between Australia and India in bilateral education.
Senator Evans visited India in August which helped deepen the bilateral relationship between Australia and India who discussed opportunities for education, training and research collaboration. The two governments introduced a range of new exchange programs for academics and college principals, and a new website to foster closer education and training collaboration.
According to Senator Collins, India would increase its skilled workforce through vocational education and training from the current 12 percent to 25 percent by 2017. Senator Collins stated that "Australia is well placed to help India achieve this objective. Providers and companies are already developing low cost models of quality Australian training provision in India."
The Australian Government currently offers measures to improve the international education sector. Measures include tighter controls on providers, an International Students Strategy and extending the role of the Commonwealth Ombudsman to resolve international student complaints against private providers.
Senator Collins said that these measures would support the government's recent reforms to enhance the integrity of the Australian student visa program. She added that the measures would also be expected to refocus the Australian skilled migrationprogram in order to deliver the high value skills needed in Australia.
