As per this circular, exemption under Section 80 C (savings up to Rs. 1 lakh) does not include fees paid for studies in abroad (it talks only about studies in India).
However, as far as Section 80E is concerned, there is no restriction for higher studies abroad and in my opinion you can deduct the interest paid on the education loan for higher studies abroad
