Globalization has transformed world trade and is now transforming education. Under GATS rules, countries must provide most favored nation treatment and national treatment to education services from other WTO members. WTO identifies four modes of trade in education services: cross-border supply via distance education; consumption abroad through foreign students studying in another country; commercial presence through foreign universities establishing programs in another country; and presence of natural persons through people moving between countries to provide education services. While globalization is meant to create interdependence, in reality a few countries like the US, UK, Germany and Australia are the leading exporters of education services, with India being an importer, though the number of Indian students abroad is growing.

Globalization has transformed world trade, communications, economic relations, interest rate, air fair, petrol price and share rate world wide in the 21st century and is having a similarly profound effect on Education too. Now in Education, time and distance have been compressed to such an extent with new involving methodologies, that learning centers have now been converted into Global Market Place of Higher Education.

General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) in Education Service

GATS rules promise that all the member countries of WTO have to give treatment of Most Favoured Nation (MFN) to all other member countries. There should be similar national treatment to all WTO countries and there will be no domestic discrimination.

WTO has identified four main modes of trade in Education that receive legal protection through GATS

CROSS BORDER SUPPLY - through distance education or internet which can cross national boundaries. CONSUMPTION ABROAD - involves the education of foreign students and is the most common form of trade in educational services. COMMERCIAL PRESENCE - refers to the actual presence of foreign investors in a host country. This covers foreign universities setting up courses or entire institutions in another country. PRESENCE OF NATURAL PERSON - refers to the ability of people to move between countries to provide educational service.

AREA
This education service covers all types of Education

(Primary, Secondary, Higher, Adult, Others) including apprentice-ship, training programme, foreign language instruction, training for career development, examination preparation, tutoring and educational support services, educational consultations, educational guidance, counseling, testing, student exchange programme etc.

CURRENT REALITIES: INDIAS POSITION Globalization is based on interdependence where both the parties are dependent on each other on equal footing. But, in Education the reality is quite different. On the name of globalization, USA with 586000 foreign students is a leading exporter of Education service followed by UK (270000), Germany (227000) and Australia (174732) in the year 2002. The number of Indian student in USA in 1996-97 was 30641.This comprised the 6.70% of the total foreign students studying in USA, but in 2003-04, this number reached to 79736, which is the 13.9% of the total foreign students studying in USA.

If the country-wise position is analyzed the number of Malaysian students (806) is highest followed by Nepal (681), Iran (472) and Kenya (442). The significant

numbers belonging to other countries are Bangladesh (319), UAE (232), Yemen (222) and Syria (25).
