GLOBALIZATION AND INDIAN EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

The phenomenon of globalization, which transformed world trade, communications and economic relations in the latter part of the 20th Century, is having a similarly profound effect on education at the start of the 21st. Student options for higher education, in particular, are no longer constrained by national boundaries. For the first time in history, large segments of the world’s student population truly have access to a “global marketplace” of higher education. Globalization has really changed education in India. It brings both good opportunities and tough challenges.
