Some Foriegn Education investment statistics on India.

Indian students on any given year currently spend about $ 5 billion on education;graduate university related, including masters and Phd especially in US. An estimated 1.4 lakh students pursue this year on year in search for brighter prospects. Although our country boasts of great education system but I feel we lack in proper regulation in ensuring that higher eductaion in India is channelised and in the right path. Hugher education in India is becoming a commodity as depicted and highlighted by all the employment surveys in India, where manpower shortage in India is not the real issue but shortage of skilled manpoower is the real problem. half of the graduates that pass out are not considered fit enough to be employed. We need tough stance and regulation and just cannot depend the toothless tiger namely the AICTE(All India Council for Technical Education).
Dear Mr. Arjun Singh, please do something on this rather than spending your old energies on Rahul Gandhi and the reservation/quota system.
