The document discusses the growing importance of international education for India. It notes that as India's middle class grows and household incomes rise, education will be treated more as an industry. International education can benefit India through brain gain and circulation rather than just brain drain. Studies show international education greatly benefits students' personal development, academic interests, intercultural skills, and career prospects. The document advocates for Indian schools to provide world-class international education programs and partner with foreign institutions to attract more foreign students. It provides an overview of education opportunities in Canada, highlighting its academic excellence and affordability.

better academic opportunities and

Many of the years since independence
were ones of promises undelivered.
But India is beginning to live up to its
dreams – perhaps encouraging

Editor's Notes
"It will change your life. You’ll come back a new person.” For years, the benefits of study abroad have been described in these words. Everyone in the study abroad field believed it could greatly impact a student’s life, but the exact long-term benefits were unknown—until now.
Why choose an international education
Is the application process the same
After me there are other countries so I will focus on Canada
There are many courses which are not available in India which you can choose to study abroad.
You will definitely get admission. Top Universities across the world are extremely competitive, which means that you have to have the marks. But there is a large range of options availabel which offer Excellent quality education.
