Pune: The Anglo International Education Consortium (AIEC), a leading British government college representing a consortium of six UK government-affiliated colleges as its clients launched its Pune operations on Saturday.

Consortium managing director, Ashley Rowlands, said India offers immense educational opportunities for students seeking education abroad. The AIEC will ensure that the best advice is provided to Indian students. It will help them identify the right educational choices. AIEC has collaborated with Pune-based New World Consultants, a student advisory firm on overseas education for its city office.

Rowlands said the recent trends of education showed that even standard XIIth-passed students were opting to go abroad for their studies not only for engineering but for many other streams that offer application-oriented education aimed at improving their employability prospects.

"Though parents and aspiring candidates are keen to find out about overseas education options, they face different levels of problems related to decision-making. Questions like the cost of studies, choosing the right institute, the child's safety and welfare, recognition of degree and employment prospects are always on the top of the parents' mind," he added.
