Big demand for Indian students abroad
By 2000, it will be 6,000. That's the catchword at the British Council these days. The number of self-funded Indian students going to the UK for higher education is expected to increase to 6,000 by the year 2000. On the other hand, Australia, which has emerged as a strong contender in the foreign education scene in the past few years, is projecting the fancy number as 10,000 plus by the year 2000.
