 Indian Students Relevance in Global Higher
Education can be explained in terms of :
Intellectual Capital & Economic Value.
 Intellectual Capital (Workforce)
 The global population is ageing; mostly in Europe,
Northern America, Latin America and Caribbean
(Population Facts,2015) . So they will need skilled
manpower.
 By 2035, India is expected to have 650 million working
age population (Financial Express,2015).
 Poor quality of education in most of the Indian
universities makes Indian students go global for higher

enrolment (particularly more than $10,000 income by 2020).

have more higher education enrolments.
