In the 'global village' of today, everything assumes global dimensions; everything is interconnected. Education is no exception. An international qualification equips students not only with vital skill sets, but also a global mindset - one that broadens the mind and allows students to easily slide into the multiethnic, multilingual workplaces of global corporations. UNESCO's Global Education Digest 2009 reports that after China, India is the 2nd country in the world to send the highest number of students for higher studies away from home. Very few know this better than Indian students and their parents. UNESCO's Global Education Digest 2009 reports that after China, India is the 2nd country in the world to send the highest number of students for higher studies away from home. Indian citizens spend billions of dollars on their sons and daughters studying abroad. This is a country that truly values higher education and has the capacity to pay for it. Thus, India presents a huge opportunity for education providers in other countries. |
| The need of the times is the presence of good market facilitators who enable students and professionals to seek quality education beyond the borders. On the one hand, there are a large number of Indians seeking an overseas degree; on the other hand, there are foreign educational institutions eyeing Indian students as possible intake. Even then only a minuscule proportion of the total student body in India actually ends up going abroad for studies every year. Clearly there is a need for better interfaces between potential students in India and education providers elsewhere in the world. This is where we come in. The Rao Group of Companies works at improving awareness of foreign courses, colleges, destination countries, admission formalities, immigration procedures, providing help thereof and assuring strong support on foreign shores for Indian students or professionals and delivering greater penetration on Indian soil for foreign institutions. We believe we are market creators doing our humble bit to help Indians achieve their aspirations of quality education and shape the global century. |
