Submit Articles for Publication on Community College Model in India

IIE invites submissions for a special briefing paper on the value of the American Community College system and how it might be applied to higher education in India. The briefing paper will be published in early summer. 

The briefing paper will examine the growing recognition of the important role that community colleges play in the higher education sector of developing countries. The publication will review innovative initiatives that community colleges have implemented in other countries, with a special focus on any applications or partnerships in India. Articles can include a review of current trends and practices, as well as specific case studies. We are also seeking articles on specific approaches and suggestions for application in India. Articles summarizing how cooperating institution leaders found each other and what factors both U.S. community colleges and Indian institutions should keep in mind when they consider partnership options are also of particular interest. 

Articles should be between 1,500 and 3,000 words. The deadline for submission of completed articles is May 6, 2013. Please contact Madeline Friedman, IIE Publications Manager, at mfriedman@iie.org if you plan to submit an article.
