India is rapidly emerging as one of the most attractive locations for international universities. In this episode of KPMG on air, we explore why India's education market has undergone such fundamental changes—and what regulatory framework foreign universities need to be aware of now. Tax expert Prof. Dr. Thorsten Helm (KPMG, Germany) speaks with Bhuwan Rudra (KPMG, India) about the National Education Policy 2020, new regulatory models from the University Grants Commission (UGC), and the special role of GIFT City—India's first planned, state-of-the-art financial and IT hub and a key location for international educational offerings. Using concrete examples—such as Deakin University, the University of Wollongong, and the University of Southampton—it becomes clear that entering the Indian market is no longer a topic for the future. The experts explain which factors are driving growth, what structural and regulatory challenges exist, and what strategies successful institutions are pursuing as they enter the market. This episode provides a concise, practical overview for universities considering India as a new educational location—and seeking to understand how to achieve a viable, sustainable entry into this dynamic market.

The Pestalozzi Trust - a civil rights organisation dedicated to protecting homeschooling and civil education - has warned President Cyril Ramaphosa in a letter that it will launch a legal challenge to the BELA Act. In this interview with BizNews, the trust's Christopher Cordeiro says: “…once the President says what the date of its coming into force, the trust will, I think, be one of the first, if not the first, to serve its papers. And people can go and read those papers because I think they'll have an element of tragic comedy when you start going through and seeing really how poorly the process was conducted.” Cordeiro lists the principle and practical objections from homeschoolers, and outlines the procedural and substantive grounds for the legal challenge. “And…it would be a travesty of our constitutional processes if a court upheld the bill.” Meanwhile, he urges radical reform in the Education Sector.

In this episode of the Foremost Media Marketing Chat podcast, Jon Ballard and Evan Facinger discuss the unique challenges and necessities for school district websites. They discuss the importance of user experience (https://www.foremostmedia.com/web-design-ux/ux-analysis), ADA compliance, and how to effectively organize content to meet the needs of several different unique audiences. The Importance of Flexibility and Functionality Proprietary content management systems (CMS) are often far too limiting for what school districts need. We advocate for the flexibility of open-source platforms like WordPress. School websites need to be functional, easy to navigate, and tailored to the specific needs of students, parents, staff, and the community. There are several critical features of school district websites that need to be considered, including calendar integrations, news updates, and mobile-friendly design, ensuring that the site serves all users effectively. Marketing and Branding for Schools Jon and Evan also discuss the often-overlooked aspect of marketing in the education sector. They share examples of how schools, including virtual, private, and public institutions, can benefit from strategic marketing to drive enrollment and community engagement. They also touch on the importance of branding consistency, suggesting that schools develop clear brand guidelines to maintain a professional online presence.

Robert Landau, education futurist and strategist, discusses establishing a hippocratic oath for the educators. Such a pledge would bind us to ethical, equitable, and progressive educational practices that place students' growth and welfare at the core of everything we do. "The traditional Hippocratic Oath is a pledge taken by physicians to uphold specific ethical standards and prioritize the wellbeing of their patients. Similarly, applying an oath to education emphasizes the importance of ethical behavior, responsibility, and a commitment to the wellbeing of students and relationships with all learners built on trust.” Visit the Two Roads Education website here.

David Seymour is setting his sights on cutting back safety regulations in early childhood education centres.   The Associate Education Minister's announced he will scrap requirements for the Education Ministry to sign-off on new centres being established.  Also binned are changes which had been due to take effect in August, requiring people in supervisory roles to hold a full teaching practice certificate.  Seymour told Mike Hosking that they're committed to quality health and safety regulations for kids, but beyond that it's up to those planning to start ECE centres to take the risk and make their business work.  He said that it's up to parents to decide where they want to send their children, and if they don't send their kids somewhere, maybe they're trying to tell the owner something.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast Alex and Graham began by discussing a new survey that Clear Admit has launched, which investigates the media habits of MBA candidates. All participation is greatly appreciated; the survey is here: https://bit.ly/casummarysurvey Graham then noted a new Master in Management program offered by Chicago / Booth which led to a discussion of some of the more unusual formats being offered by leading programs for graduate management education. Graham then highlighted a Real Humans piece featuring an alum of Dartmouth / Tuck at Citi, and two Adcom Q&As from MIT / Sloan and Maryland / Smith. Graham and Alex also discussed the first Clear Admit+ webinar for this season, to be held later today (Monday, August 7th) at 12 pm ET. This webinar is open to all registered members of Clear Admit. As usual, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has an outstanding profile, which includes a 3.99 GPA in chemical engineering. They are from Trinidad and Tobago and work as a process engineer. The one slightly weaker element of their candidacy is their 324 GRE. The score itself is decent, but relative to the rest of this profile, Alex and Graham think it could be better. One more retake might yield positive dividends. Candidate #2 has a very non-traditional profile, having worked extensively in the education sector. Their experience is very interesting, but key to their candidacy will be to show how the MBA makes perfect sense for what they plan to do post MBA. They are keen to apply in Round 1, but Alex and Graham think they should wait until Round 2, and retake the GRE, which is much lower than the median for the programs they are targeting. The final MBA candidate for this episode has another super profile all around. They have strong numbers (336 GRE, 3.68) and their work trajectory looks very interesting, going from research, to consulting to “doing”. They are planning to wait one more year to apply, but Alex wonders if it might make sense to target this season with a couple of reach programs, to see what happens. his episode was recorded in Philadelphia, PA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
