If you want an Australian education but can’t travel here to receive it, you’ll be pleased to hear that many Australian institutions now provide education and training to students living outside of Australia. Some of these institutions have established their own campuses in other countries, while others offer courses in partnership with overseas institutions. Australian Education International (AEI) provides leadership across all levels of government and industry to support the sustainable development of a world-class and globally connected international education and training system in Australia. As the international arm of the Australian Government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), we are well placed to work with governments and industry to realise for Australia the intellectual, cultural, economic and security benefits of internationalisation. We seek to achieve this goal through an integrated approach to policy, regulation, international engagement and promotion. We encourage and facilitate Australian activity through our national office in Canberra and 25 offices in Australian diplomatic missions in 17 economies.

links with India
8 April 2010
Minister for Education Julia Gillard and India’s Minister for Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal today signed a Joint Ministerial Statement to build on the cooperative ties between the two nations in the education sector.
The Joint Ministerial Statement confirms Australia and India’s commitment to expand the current education exchange program to achieve greater cooperation between the two countries’ schools, higher education, vocational education and training sectors.
The aim of the Ministerial Statement is to strengthen what is already a solid partnership with the Indian Government and open up more avenues to share expertise in the education arena.
Today’s meeting was the result of a commitment made in New Delhi last August to start an annual dialogue between the two Ministers.
Leading education providers and businesses both in Australia and India will also participate in the discussions, providing an opportunity for all levels of the industry to consider ideas and share expertise.
The Ministers also agreed to investigate the establishment of an India–Australia Education Council to improve collaboration on education-related issues.
The Council would consist of academics, policy-makers and industry representatives and will be tasked to explore new partnership opportunities in key fields such as skills demand and education resources.
Ms Gillard took today’s meeting as an opportunity to officially congratulate Minister Sibal and his Government on their Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009 which came into affect in India on April 1.
The Act makes education a fundamental right for all Indian children between the ages of six and 14.
One of the key challenges Minister Sibal and his Government now face is the recruitment of up to 800 000 new teachers to fulfil the aims of the act.
The Australian Government today confirmed our commitment to help provide assistance to Indian institutions with teacher training initiatives. Australian providers are also looking forward to the opportunity for increase involvement once the Indian Government had passed their Foreign Education Institutional Bill.
Building on the 135 institutional partnerships already in place between the two countries, there was agreement today to initiate a Joint Faculty Development program. This will allow for regular exchanges in mutual areas of teaching, research and curriculum development.
Australian representatives from the VET industry are also working with their Indian counterparts on the establishment of an Australia/India Bureau designed to assist with the development of the Indian VET system.
