The bilateral trade in education services among India <\/strong>and the US <\/strong>could record exponential growth if Washington removes barriers like visa <\/strong>and entry restrictions on the free progression of students<\/strong>, as indicated by a top American business advocacy group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 Open Doors report on International Educational Exchange features that during the 2019-20 academic year<\/strong>, India stayed the second-biggest source of international students in the US, in spite of a four percent decline to 193,124 students<\/strong>, making up 18%<\/strong> of the total higher education international student community in the US, the US India Strategic and Partnership Forum (USISPF<\/strong>) said in a report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Open Doors report<\/strong> was recently released by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Institute of International Education (IIE<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Eliminating trade barriers on the free progression of students and educational services can strengthen the competitiveness of the US economy<\/strong> by way of value addition and job creation,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the report “US-India Higher Education Partnership: A Win-Win Opportunity” USISPF<\/strong> imagines enormous opportunities for the two nations in the higher education segment from both trade and investment perspectives, which are essential for the economic growth<\/strong> of both economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are mutual gains for both partners, as the US <\/strong>wants to improve its bilateral trade balance with India to save jobs through increased exports, and India’s young STEM <\/strong>talent assesses the US as one of the best destinations for world-class higher education and professional training opportunities,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEM represents Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US must address visa barriers to grow trade in education services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“If visa barriers<\/strong> are addressed, the bilateral trade<\/strong> in education services could record exponential growth,\u201d the USISPF said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange, India is the second-highest country <\/strong>of origin for foreign students in the US\u2014 and has been, continuously, for 10 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018-19, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong>, more than 200,000<\/strong> Indian students went to the US to pursue undergraduate, graduate, non-degree, and optional practical training (OPT) programs, a 2.9 percent<\/strong> increase from 2017-18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OPT program<\/strong> allows international students to work in the US after the completion of their courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Also, the pre-pandemic trend was clear in the bilateral trade statistics<\/strong>, which capture spending on educational travel between the two nations. From 2015 to 2019, the amount spent by Indian students on educational travel to the US rose by 45%<\/strong>, to almost USD7.7 billion<\/strong>,” the USISPF said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USISPF <\/strong>has suggested the US make comprehensive immigration reforms. That allows robust student mobility by reviewing and streamlining the student visa process<\/strong>. Particularly for nations that send the most students to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also urges the US to enable a system for OPT.<\/strong> Extend training opportunities for capable international students<\/strong> following graduation, create a coherent national framework for international education. That lines up with the US diplomatic<\/strong>, economic, and immigration goals and increases immigration numbers<\/strong> to the levels during the Obama government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
