The UK India Education and Research
Initiative (UKIERI) aims to substantially improve
educational links between India and UK ensuring
in the longer term we become each other's partner
of choice in education. UKIERI was announced by
the Prime Minister Tony Blair during his visit
to India in September 2005, and launched by him
in April 2006. Its progress has been welcomed
by both the Prime Ministers during their meeting
in October 2006.
The three main strands of the initiative are -
Higher Education and Research, Schools and Professional
and Technical Skills. The Initiative also presents
an opportunity for high level dialogue between
the two countries on areas of mutual policy interest
such as quality assurance, international standards
and credit recognition schemes.
The School Partnerships Strand
of the UKIERI was launched to contribute significantly
to the UKIERI's aim of creating a life-long relationship
between young people in UK and India and to assist
them in meeting their need to live and operate
in a global economy. To meet this aim UKIERI facilitated
partnerships between clusters of school in India
and UK . The successful clusters first met and
chose their partners at the Contact Seminar.
