Postgraduate studies – Rethinking the international experience | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
The suspension of international travel to attend conferences; the inability to take up postgraduate scholarships and posts; financial losses due to the fall-off in tuition fees from foreign students … The landscape of the world of tertiary education has been completely, perhaps irrevocably, altered by the coronavirus pandemic. Privileged status and the fault lines between developing and developed countries have been starkly exposed.

Taiwa. Internationalization of higher education in the crucible: Linking national identity and policy in the age of globalization 

Taiwa. Internationalization of higher education in the crucible: Linking national identity and policy in the age of globalization  | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
Highlights

In stark contrast to the Western experience, policy rationales for internationalization of higher education (IoHE) in Taiwan were taoriginally more related to non-economic considerations.


The Taiwan case can be explained by the island’s nascent political openness. Local politics have heavy impacts on the development of IoHE, even in an era of globalization where market principles, performance metrics, and university autonomy are valued.


The subsystem actors’orientation of national identity, which has a connection to their affiliation to political parties, has played a prominent part in driving and shaping IoHE policy in Taiwan.


The influence of Taiwan’s inward-looking political climate is more apparent in policy rationales, than in policy strategies per se.


The dynamics of the policy subsystem, in which actors often exploit IoHE as an instrument for various domestic purposes, are the key to explaining the features of IoHE policy in different country contexts

Approaches to Internationalisation and Their Implications for Strategic Management and Institutional Practice

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

One of the main goals of internationalised higher education is to provide the most relevant education to students, who will be the citizens, entrepreneurs and scientists of tomorrow. Internationalisation is not an end in itself, but a driver for change and improvement – it should help generate the skills required in the 21st century, spur on innovation and create alternatives while, ultimately, fostering job creation. Yet the current economic climate calls for a closer examination of the tangible benefits of internationalisation for the economies and societies of, and beyond, the OECD.
