India is on course to soon become the most populous country in the world and has a relatively young population with 45% under 24 years of age. Over the years there has been a sharp improvement in the gross enrolment ratio (GER) at elementary and secondary school level with GERs of 96% and 73% respectively. However, GER at higher education level (28%) remains low by international standards. Against this backdrop and the interest in both countries to collaborate and pursue internationalisation of education objectives, there is a need to examine potential models of long-term partnership for TNE and associated link to mobility.
