Promising quality education and bright job prospects, 18 educational institutes from Australia are touring six cities of India as part of an "education fair".
Tom Calder, trade commissioner of the Australian Trade Commission said: “8 Australian universities were ranked among the top 100 in the world in 2011.We also have lower unemployment rates compared to the United States or the United Kingdom. An Indian student with an Australian qualification will easily get employed there. The universities also offer job assistance and the fees in the universities were between Australian $14,000 (over Rs. 8, 00,000) to $35,000 (over Rs.20 lakh) per year for under-graduate courses and between Australian $15,000 and $36,000 per year for post-graduate courses.
Apart from the generic courses in science, management and commerce, Australian universities also offered mining, oil and gas, water and sports management courses. However, at present, engineering and science courses at the post-graduate level remain the favourite among Indian students.
On the racial attacks on Indian students in Australia, Calder said the country was much safer now. He also said that such incidents could take place anywhere in the world. Local authorities have stepped up efforts and Australian people are much more aware of people of different ethnic backgrounds around them”.

Indian Companies are planning to hire at a robust pace in the next three months. A survey says public administration, education and services sectors are expected to see strong recruitment trends.
Globally, India is the most optimistic in terms of recruitment intentions for the fourth quarter, after China and Taiwan, according to staffing services firm Manpower's Employment Outlook Survey released on Tuesday.
"The job market remains robust in India as a result of strong domestic growth and recovery from key global markets. But employers in other countries are reporting strong hiring forecasts as well," Manpower India's managing director Sanjay Pandit told PTI.
India's net employment outlook -- an indicator of employers' hiring intentions -- stood at 38 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis for the next three months. For the third quarter, the outlook stood a little higher at 41 per cent.
The outlook fell slightly for the next three months as recruitment activities are relatively less in this period, mainly on account of festival season, Pandit noted.
For the fourth quarter, China has the highest outlook of 47 per cent and is followed by Taiwan (40 per cent). Interestingly, for the 2010 third quarter, India was the most optimistic when it came to hiring intentions.
Of the total of 36 countries surveyed by Manpower, 28 showed positive hiring trends for the next three months. As many as 5,395 employers in India participated in the survey.
In terms of sectors in India, public administration and education has the highest net employment outlook of 45 per cent, followed by services (40 per cent) and finance, insurance and real estate (34 per cent).
According to the report, transportation and utilities, and wholesale and retail trade sectors, each have an outlook of 22 per cent. "Once you combine strong domestic hiring along with improved international opportunities, we see one of the best scenarios that Indian job-seekers could have imagined," he said.
With an employment outlook of 41 per cent, employers in the South have strong hiring plans for the fourth quarter of this year. Northern region has an outlook of 37 per cent, followed by East (36 per cent) and West (32 per cent).
Going by the survey, the weakest hiring plans for the upcoming quarter were reported from Greece, Italy, Czech Republic, Spain and Ireland.
The 2010 study reports on how companies have nurtured their human capital in the face of the downturn, while taking some bold initiatives to maintain the topline and bottomline growth.
There are companies out there which believe in the age-old 'home-away-from-home' principle and go all out to create a 'family' of workers, while others maintain a high fun quotient around their core activity.

Why does Marriott make it to every survey of the world's best companies to work for? Is it because they respectfully call their employees "associates"? Is it because J.W. Marriott Jr., the CEO, makes it a point to visit some 250 hotels a year and meet with employees down the line?
Is it because senior executives like Rajeev Menon, Area Vice President, India, Malaysia, Maldives and Pakistan, make it a point to not just greet every employee when they walk into a hotel but also give them a little pat on their?

With nearly 60% of the country’s population unbanked and the government pledging to bring banking to the lowest stratum of society, the Indian Institute of Management, Indore (IIMI), has decided to do its bit on financial inclusion. For its annual management summit Ahvan, the institute has decided to unveil a programme called Samanvay, where IIMI students will help underprivileged people in and around the campus open bank accounts and get insurance cover.
“There’s a clear need for financial services as about 90% of the population here is unbanked,” said Ravi Chandran, director, IIMI. “The project will commence from September with the unveiling of the annual summit.” The institute has involved its faculty to oversee the project. It believes that such initiatives will make students socially sensitive.
IIMI is in talks with Bank of Baroda, State Bank of India, Union Bank of India and Canara Bank for opening accounts. “The accounts will have zero or a minimum balance requirement for those who don’t have access to banking,” said Amitava Bandyopadhyay, the programme’s convener and a second-year student at IIMI.
Given the work profile and lifestyle of the people, the institute has also decided to help them get insured, like personal accident policy for construction workers and health insurance for housewives. “National Insurance Company has shown interest, and it has insurance products that suit our target group,” says Amitava.
Seven hundred students from both the batches will contribute at least `100 towards the insurance premium and logistical expenditure of about `10,000. “We will pay the premium for the first year only. The idea is to create awareness and let people experience the benefits of risk management,” said Biswadip Paul, a second year student. The students will organise a series of workshops on risk management with the beneficiaries to make the programme sustainable.
It was found that lack of information and documentation (like address proof), and not poverty, was the main reason for not having a bank account. So, the IIMI students are trying to organise employment certificates or domicile documents from the sarpanch to be used in lieu of address proof.
Each student contributor will be mapped one-to-one with the beneficiary. “It will give a sense of ownership in the initiative and encourage participants to take up more such causes in future,” said Amitava.
Through Samanvay, the institute hopes to reach out to about 150-200 people who work inside the campus as daily-wage laborers or security guards. But the main aim is to take the project outside the IIMI campus to nearby villages. “We are going to nearby villages like Janpavkuti, Bharpuwa, Bhagpura and Ambara with an approximate total population of 2,500,” adds Biswadip.
The President Obama stated that USAeducation system is ranked 12th in the world. It is no secret that other countries surpass our children’s knowledge and ability to compete for jobs on a global stage. We must do better. The only question is how.
We live in a time where school budgets are leaner than ever and school systems have furloughed teachers as a cost saving measure. There is little money for professional development or new curriculum. Teachers are digging deep to pay for things out of pocket when they are not getting salary raises to reflect years of experience and pay to reflect the increased cost of living.
Cleary changes are necessary and President Obama’s recognized all of these factors when he talked about Race to the Top. The ambitious plan is designed to change education in this country. It's completely different from No Child Left Behind but just as controversial.
The President announced that part of the initiative includes a nationwide competition by states for federal dollars. The new plan ties teacher evaluation to student performance, adopting common student achievement standards, and charter schools as an alternative to public schools. Currently only 2 states have received federal educational reform money based on this new plan.
