Mumbai, India (prHWY.com) December 17, 2010 - Mumbai, 17th December, 2010: According to a recent survey, employers are taking note that they must accept foreign education or experience in order to gain an edge in the "race for talent". Seeing this potential, Citizens Welfare Association, the promoters of Billabong High International School - Juhu & Thane and ECube Global College, the leader in creating newer avenues in the field of education has organized a panel discussion on "Integration of Foreign Education with Indian" unfolding the benefits of combining international education, with Indian by involving eminent personalities and academicians from India and the UK.

The purpose of this panel discussion was to evaluate the importance of bringing down foreign curriculums and how it will help our students match up to international competition. If young children are to take on challenging global leadership roles in the future, they must possess a deep understanding and appreciation for other cultures, economies, diverse skills, research abilities etc.

The impact of the rapid growth of international education is felt at institutional, national and international levels, and these are inter-related.

Chief Guest for the panel discussion is CA Snehal N. Muzoomdar - President, Indo-American Society acknowledged and accepted that foreign higher education is qualitative and its availability is around the corner. As President, IAS, he threw light on new reforms, regulations that were on the anvil for the education sector, especially foreign education.

Moderator for the panel discussion was Ms. Vandana Lulla - Principal, Podar International School (IB) and she initiated conversation and directed the flow of the subject effectively bringing out the conclusion that Foreign Education is inevitable. We as educationists have to look for ways and means to extend this basic facility to our students. We must drive in the fact that for easy access, collaborations and associations with Foreign Universities are ways of extending their curriculum to more and more students.

Key eminent speakers for the panel discussion were Dr. Alun J Harris - Senior Lecturer, Newcastle University (UK), Mrs. Pratibha Jain - Director, eduboard and Education Counselor, Education Times, Mr. Anand Joshi - Director, Gates Solutions, Ms. Anu Singh - Head School Support, Pearson Edexcel and Mr. Govindraj Ethiraj - Head Outreach, UIDAI who presented their views on integration of Foreign education with Indian.

Principals from leading schools and colleges like Atomic Energy Central School, Army School - Colaba, Springfield High school, Arya Cambridge International School, St. Francis Institute of Technology, K. G. Somaiya College Of Engineering and many more were present to share their views as they are considered to be instructional leaders to promote a productive working and learning environment.

Education is an essential tool for achieving sustainability. People around the world recognize that current economic development trends are not sustainable and that public awareness, education, and training are key to moving society toward sustainability.

"The lives of children and young people are increasingly shaped by what happens in other parts of the world. Education for Global Citizenship gives them the knowledge, understanding, skills and values that they need if they are to participate fully in ensuring their own, and others', well-being and to make a positive contribution, both locally and globally," said Mr. Sandeep Goenka, Director, ECube Global College.

The purpose of education in this society is to bring the kids up to be conversant with the most important ideas and the representation systems that are used to express them.
International trade in education is under increasing scrutiny. The likely impact of GATS is keenly debated. The new structures to higher education evolving through the Bologna process are closely negotiated. The emergence of regional trade and other international agreements ensures that international education is high on the agenda of national politicians and international organizations.
