About 25 community college leaders traveled to India last month to advise government officials and education leaders as they implement an ambitious plan to upgrade the nation's technical education system. India has made a commitment to establish 200 community colleges over the next few years.
The U.S. college leaders participated in a conference hosted by the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development in New Delhi, which showcased community and technical college models from Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the United States.
