| Reservations will apply to foreign institutions: Arjun Singh | | |
Even as consensus eluded on the entry of foreign universities in the country, Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh has indicated the reservation policy will apply in these institutions.
"All this is speculation. The law of the land, whatever it is, has to be fulfilled. People cannot be above the Constitution," Singh told reporters when asked whether there would be reservation of seats for students in foreign institutions operating in the country and those that are being proposed.
He said the Foreign Education Providers Regulation Bill, which has been referred to a Group of Ministers, was under discussion.
Asked whether there would be any cap on the fee for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students in private educational institutions, Singh said no such proposal had come before him.
Reports said that while the commerce ministry has suggested a more flexible approach for higher education institutions as part of measures to tap the trade potential in education services under the WTO regime, the human resource development ministry wants tough regulations on foreign education providers.
