In a significant development aimed at fostering stronger educational ties between India and Australia, Acumen, in collaboration with AEAS and supported by Austrade, has announced a delegation of 10 top Australian schools set to visit Delhi and Mumbai in November 2024. This visit presents a rare opportunity for Indian families and educators to engage with representatives from some of Australia’s leading educational institutions, known for their academic excellence and holistic student development.
Australian Schools to Strengthen Educational Relationships with India
This initiative will include parent fairs in both cities, offering Indian families the chance to directly interact with school representatives and learn about the academic frameworks, cultural values, and student support systems that Australian schools provide. These events are designed to give families a deeper understanding of the educational opportunities available for their children, from primary schooling to higher education.
With more than 90,000 Indian students already studying in Australia in 2023, the visit aims to further enhance the educational partnership between the two countries. The focus is on building awareness and trust, providing Indian families with the information they need to make informed decisions about pursuing education abroad.
Sagar Bahadur, Executive Director for Acumen, commented, “The visit of these leading Australian schools to India is a testament to the deepening ties between our two nations in education. We are excited to see how these interactions will strengthen cross-cultural understanding.”
Tracey O’Halloran, Managing Director of AEAS, emphasized that the initiative reflects AEAS’s ongoing commitment to promoting global education opportunities. By bringing Australian schools to India, AEAS aims to open new doors for Indian families interested in exploring quality schooling options for their children.
Bridging the Gap for Future Educational Growth
This visit also provides Australian schools the chance to better understand the expectations and aspirations of Indian families, allowing for more tailored support services for international students. The delegation will engage with key government bodies such as Austrade and the Department of Home Affairs, strengthening collaboration between the two nations on educational matters.
As Indian families increasingly look for international education opportunities, this visit by Australia’s top schools underscores the growing recognition of Australia as a premier destination for education. The initiative aims to build early engagement and provide parents with insights into sustainable educational pathways for their children.
