On Wednesday he also announced that his country and the Indian government have finalized the `Australia-India Education Qualification Recognition Mechanism.’
PM Albanese said that these developments – Australian university campuses and the qualification mechanism – are just the latest additions to our ever-growing education partnership.
He said, “I am pleased to announce a newer scholarship offering – the Maitri Scholarship. These are for Indian students to study in Australia for up to four years.”
The scholarships are part of the wider Maitri program that seeks to boost cultural, educational and community ties between Australia and India.
Professor Iain Martin, President and Vice-Chancellor of Deakin, also attended this event, along with the Vice Chancellor of University of Melbourne, Professor Duncan Maskell, and CEO of Universities Australia, Catriona Jackson.
Speaking at an event that showcased Australia-India cooperation on education PM Albanese said that he was very pleased to be in India.
He acknowledged that not everyone has the means or the ability to pack up their lives and study in another country. There might be financial constraints, or family commitments, or a variety of reasons that students want to, or need to, stay closer to home.
