CAMBRIDGE: A two-day conference on international education was organised by Anglia Ruskin University at their Cambridge campus in the United Kingdom. VCs of public and private sector universities from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and other countries attended the conference. The purpose of the conference was to share the views of the vice chancellors and academics on internationalisation and development of academic links for the students of their respective countries. Talking to our correspondent, Syed Abidi, a renowned educationist who was a participant in the conference on behalf of Anglia Ruskin, described this as an important initiative by a UK university. Syed Abidi said that not every student can travel abroad or is able to pay the rising cost of tuition fee and living expenses especially with the devaluation of the Pak Rupee to travel to the UK or any OECD country for education.
