Taiwan-India Relations: Surge of students promising for exchanges: officialBy Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporterThe number of Indian students in Taiwan surged by more than 110 percent from 2016 to 2019, demonstrating potential for expanding bilateral education exchanges, India Taipei Association Director-General Gourangalal Das said. The centers not only help Indian students learn Mandarin, but also expose them to higher education opportunities in Taiwan, he said. “The phenomenon of Indian students coming to Taiwan for higher education is somewhat new, but it is a trend with a lot of promise,” he said. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Indian students in Taiwan grew by more than 110 percent from 2016 to 2019 to nearly 3,000, he added. Taiwan’s goal to become bilingual in Chinese and English by 2030 also provides incentives to Indian students, he said.
