Indian students are pumping Canada's economy with billions in economic stimulus, Canada’s junior minister of science and technology said Tuesday.<br />
Minister of State Gary Goodyear said international students pumped $6.8 billion in the country's economy in 2008.<br />
<br />
“There are all kinds of fees from tuition fees to room and board, books, transportation, you know, discretionary expenses like haircuts from 5,000 students. The numbers I have are somewhere between 2,800 students and 5,000 (Indian students in Canada). We have about 77,000 full-time international students in Canada and, of course, I am using an example to show you the things that people can spend money on, there is, in fact, quite an economic impact. It doesn’t sound like much on an individual basis but, in total, there are billions of dollars. We believe that the international students contributed somewhere around the neighbourhood of $6.5 billion into the Canadian economy in 2008,” he told reporters in a conference call today.<br />
<br />
Goodyear was in New Delhi, India, where he is on a tour with the presidents of many Canadian universities. He said he was working hard to attract more Indian students to study in Canada by funding scholarships and hopefully, some would decide to stay here.<br />
<br />
“We do expect a few of them will fall in love with our country and, perhaps, fall in love with someone else and chose to stay here,” he said.Mahavir S.

For the very first time, Pearson VUE, a global computer based testing provider of exams like GMAT will hold the computerised global LSAT (Law School Admission Test) in India on May 24.<br /><br />This year the LSAT-India scores will only apply to the Jindal Global Law School (JGLS), Haryana. However, next year even leading national law schools are considering admitting students on its basis. "Computer based testing will give high level of encryption and security as it is generated in real-time, different for each candidate; removing the worry of leakage, said Sarvesh Shrivastava, MD, APAC, Pearson VUE.<br /><br />The LSAC (Law School Admission Council) based in USA has brought down the cost of taking the LSAT-India. The test which costs Rs8000 globally, costs only Rs3000 in India which is just Rs1000 more than the national CLAT."The first step to promoting truly global law education in India was to bring in a global selection process," informed Raj Kumar, dean, JGLS.<br /><br />He added, "Unlike CLAT, LSAT has no jurisdiction based questions. Students are tested on logical reasoning, analytical reasoning and reading comprehension." Even the transparency in results will be greater, as the test taking body and academic institutions are different. For India, Pearson Vue will also grant 50 test fee waivers and 4 scholarships worth Rs1lakh each to top to top scorers at the exam.<br /><br />In September, 150 top LSAT scorers will experience truly world class law education at JGLS, recognised by the Bar Council of India. It will offer a three-year LLB and five-year BA.LLB courses with national and global perspectives.<br /><br />Kumar informed, "Our curriculum has been designed by an international group of advisors from prestigious law schools like Yale, Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford and Oxford."He added, "We have managed to rope in full time faculty who have taught at these global varsities; and will ensure a rare teacher student ratio of 1:20." JGLS will also be research intensive school. "We will set up joint research centers with these law schools for human rights, corporate governance, international trade and economic law, global legal profession to improve the field of law, " added Kumar.<br /><br />These first of its kind courses are priced at around Rs6lakhs per year (including accommodation, food and tuition costs). To help students, JGLS has constituted several scholarships; for instance, 25% of deserving students will get a 50% fee waiver. Further, the astronomical demand for these new age law professionals worldover, is expected to fetch them a salary of Rs75000- Rs1lakh even in Indian firms.Mahavir S.

We hope the trend continues this year, too,” Martinet told The Indian Express while on an official visit to the city recently. <br /><br />The ambitious Alten Scholarship Programme for postgraduate studies in engineering, announced during French President Nicholas Sarkozy’s India visit in January, 2008, has been put on hold this academic year as companies that were to sponsor the scholarships have expressed inability to finance them. <br /><br />On the other hand, the figures revealed by the French Embassy in the first quarter of 2009, shows that the number of students going from India to France for higher studies has increased by 57 per cent as compared to the first quarter of 2008. <br /><br />In 2008, 1,757 Indian students went to France as compared to 650 in 2005. The French Embassy has set a target of 4,000 by 2012. “We have 15,000 to 20,000 Chinese students in France. But we are now concentrating more on Indian students,” he said. <br /><br />According to Martinet, almost 55 per cent of Indians who go to France for studies take up business management while 35 per cent opt for engineering. “We want more students for engineering programmes as quality of these programmes is excellent. We are also looking at more students going in for niche areas like design, film studies and new media,” he said. <br /><br />He said companies were backing out from scholarship programmes owing to the economic downturn. “The Alten Scholarship is one of the casualties this year,” he said. <br /><br />The Alten Scholarship is important for Pune as its India office was shifted to Pune from Delhi last year. Out of the 10 students from across the country who got the scholarship last year, three were from Pune. The head office of n+i network, a consortium of 75 French engineering colleges, is also in Pune as the quality of engineering students is said to be better in the city. <br /><br />The french connection<br />University of Punewill be an important partner for French institutes in future, feels Philippe Martinet, counsellor for culture and cooperation in French Embassy<br />Martinet Says, “With the University of Pune's cooperation, we have been working on some flagship projects. UoP vice-chancellor Narendra Jadhav has excellent rapport with the academic experts in France and that will help in a big way”<br />In December, a French Festival with focus on Pune is being planned, Martinet saysMahavir S.

The Institutes / Universities offering higher education in Russia has a total enrollment of more than two million students. The staff of the various institutions include more than 16,250 doctors of science and about 8,70,000 candidates of science who, apart from lecturing, are active in the development of new scientific trends and advanced technology.The standard of Higher Education in Russia is considered to be most advanced and sophisticated in the world as every educational institution is well equipped and their teaching methods are well regulated streamlined and carves a path for an extensive development of student in their specialities. The students teacher ratio is approximately 7:1.<br /><a href="http://www.iflyasa.com/" target="_blank"></a><br />In Russia there are 48 Medical Colleges. All the Russian Universities to which students are admitted by us are Government run universities and students graduating from these universities will be eligible for registration with the Medical Council of India. All these Universities are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDMS) Published by the World Health Organisation (WHO), which entitles the students to appear for the Screening test conducted by the National Board of Examinations on behalf of the MCI.The Russian degrees have got global recognition and have topped WHO and UNESCO rankings. The Russian Federation has some of the finest medical colleges in the World. Out of the top I 00 colleges in World Ranking, about 30 positions are occupied by the Russian Medical Universities. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the UNESCO has rated, The Moscow Medical Academy, The Russian State Medical University and the St. Petersburg State Medical University in II, III & X positions in the world respectively. The Indian students seeking admission into medical courses will be admitted only in those institutions listed in the WDMS and similarly engineering students will be admitted in those institutions whose degrees are recognized by the Association of Indian Universities.<br /><br />Russia has a good deal of experience for co-operation with the developing countries in the field of higher education. For instance, more than half of the foreign students attending Russian Universities for higher education in the field of Engineering/ Medicine are from developing countries in Asia and Africa and from Latin America. Training programmes for foreign specialists/technicians in Medical/ Engineering institutes of Russia is done with respect to their future professional activity in their own motherland.Therefore, on returning to their motherland, the technocrats have absolutely no trouble in adjusting to the prevalent working conditions in their own country. The tuition fee in Russian institutions is reasonable in contrast to the western countries.The system of imparting higher education in Russia is well formulated and advanced in par with western countries. The evaluation of the performance of<br /><br />students is designed in such a way that the progresses of the latter in mastering the subjects included in the curricula are monitored closely and objectively. The number of tests and examination to be taken during every academic year is strictly formulated by the head of the institutions. Student performance on test is evaluated as "passed" or "failed" and on examinations as "excellent", "good" "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory". Students who accumulate a number of arrears in their new academic year would be dismissed from their higher educational institutions. The final state examinations are also very important part of the higher educational assessment process in Russia. These methodologies constitute a comprehensive evaluation system by which the knowledge and the skills of specialists are brightened and the qualification obtained becomes invaluable and precious.<br />In all the Russian Institutions, academic year starts from September. There are two semesters in a academic year, September to January and February to June. First semester examinations are held usually in January followed by second semester in June. Students enjoy two types of vacations in their curriculum. It is winter vacation from 15th January to 7th February and summer vacation from 1st July to 31st August.<br /><br /><br />The Ministry of Health and the Medical Industry of the Russian Federation is the supreme authority functioning under the Russian Government in charge of public health and medical industry as a whole throughout the Russian Federation, All the Medical Institutions of the Russian Federation come under its jurisdiction, it controls and supervises as a regulatory body. The Degrees, Diplomas and other Certificate/ Specialisation Courses conducted by various Medical Institutions of Studies at the Russian Federation shall finally have the approval of the said Ministry. In the year 1994 by an agreement the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has appointed <a href="http://www.studyabroadedu.com/aboutus.html">Study Abroad Educational Consultants (P) Limited</a> As Its Official Authorized Representative for selection of Indian students for admission to various Medical Institutions of Studies at the Russian Federation.<br /><br />Courtesy: <a href="http://www.studyabroadedu.com/">http://www.studyabroadedu.com/</a>Mahavir S.
