Second talks Of India-NZ Joint Working Group

The second India-New Zealand education talks were held recently in New Delhi, in which the New Zealand and Indian Secretaries for Education with officials from government and the education sector from both countries discussed about  broadening and focusing  on existing collaboration between the two countries. Science research cooperation, teacher training and development, vocational education, open and distance learning and quality assurance were the five points which were discussed as core issues . Projects are being developed which will be carried out under these issues. India's education reforms have been in full swing from mid-2009 and foreign education interests are now being encouraged, to engage particularly in tertiary education. This 'global view' of education was resumed during the call on the Indian Minister for Human Resource Development, Sri Kapil Sibal.
The New Zealand delegation also undertook a programme of meetings in Delhi and Mumbai, in addition to formal talks.In Delhi, research cooperation was an area of focus, with visits to one of India's premier technical/engineering institutes, a central government university, the universities' association, the national open university, and discussions with Indian agencies with science research responsibilities.
In Mumbai, there was a focus on technical and vocational education. The delegation also met the leading  Maharashtrian agencies as it is solely state’s responsibility. Discussions were also held with private Indian education providers looking for international expertise.

  6. GMAT should be given importance as i think that if it is taken and the scores represent the logical and common day to day IQ of the students.
