Prof. Varghese, former Vice Chancellor of the National University of Educational Planning and Administration in New Delhi takes us through the key steps and achievements of his professional career, whilst sharing insights and considerations about the challenges associated with internationalisation in India, and beyond.
He introduces the key concept of 'high cost, high return pathway' in student mobility patterns, with implications for post-study visas as a means to recover the costs of an international education, and the opportunities posed by in-bound TNE to reduce costs.
He reflects on the future of India as an education hub, the need to make more inclusive internationalisation processes in education… and the memorable experience of helping developing countries in obtaining funding to develop their education systems.
