Toronto, January 10, 2013 – The Government of Gujarat and
Canada's Seneca College have signed a Letter of Cooperation that will
accelerate the internationalization of higher education in the state and
provide new global learning opportunities for Gujarat's young people.
The Letter was signed at the International Conference of
Academic Institutions taking place at Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University in
Gandhinagar by Mr. N.N. Bhuptani, Deputy Director, Commissionerate of Technical
Education and Mr. David Agnew, President of Seneca College. The signing took
place in the presence of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, a strong
proponent of internationalization of education.
"We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with
the Government and academic institutions of Gujarat," said Mr. Agnew.
"This is a State that has shown tremendous commitment to higher education,
and we look forward to working together to promote student exchange, faculty
exchange, joint research projects and curriculum development."
The government and Seneca will also work together to create
a Higher Education Forum that will support access, achievement and equity goals
for Gujarati students, including through the use of online resources.
Gujarat is one of India's most industrialized states and
Ahmedabad, where the Conference is being held, is the third fastest growing
city in the world. The state has seen rapid economic and social development in
the past few years, including significant expansion of the higher education
sector.
With campuses across the Greater Toronto Area, Seneca offers
degrees, diplomas and certificates renowned for their quality and respected by
employers. Combining the highest academic standards with practical, hands-on
learning, expert teaching faculty and the latest technology ensures Seneca
