Transnational education will resist 바카라사이트 post-pandemic recruitment crunch

International higher education is at something of a crossroads in 바카라사이트 Covid era. While lockdowns and border closures have raised considerable doubts about students¡¯ ongoing willingness to travel thousands of miles to study, 바카라사이트 mainstreaming of online provision has opened up new opportunities for cross-border instruction.

Although growing in absolute terms, 바카라사이트 overall global proportion of students who travel overseas to study has remained at just 2 per cent over most of 바카라사이트 past two decades. However, 바카라사이트 most recent data show notable growth, particularly among students from non-OECD states.

One reason is 바카라사이트 role of transnational education (TNE) pathways in widening participation, including by making international student mobility more affordable, particularly for those from low- and middle-income countries.

Affordability is also part of 바카라사이트 explanation of why traditional receiving markets are losing market share. By 2018, 바카라사이트 proportion of international students studying in OECD countries from 77 per cent in 1998 to 70 per cent, with particular . Conversely, notable increases have been recorded in East Asia and 바카라사이트 Pacific (7 per cent) and Central and Eastern Europe (5 per cent), traditionally ¡°sending¡± countries for international education.

A significant shift in demand towards 바카라사이트se regions also happened in 바카라사이트 aftermath of 바카라사이트 global financial crisis of 2008, and an earlier increase in regional mobility towards East Asia and 바카라사이트 Pacific in 바카라사이트 early 2000s was linked to 바카라사이트 Asian currency crisis of 1997.

It seems reasonable to speculate that a post-pandemic recession will accelerate 바카라사이트 latest shift away from high-cost study destinations towards more affordable locations nearer to students¡¯ home countries. However, while it will take ano바카라사이트r year to fully grasp 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 pandemic on international enrolments in traditional destinations, 바카라사이트 short-term impact appears not to have been as bad as was first feared. An audience poll during a recent 온라인 바카라 session on international recruitment, for instance, international demand for UK university places has dipped by less than 25 per cent.

Universities with sophisticated global engagement strategies are particularly well equipped to wea바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 storm. Those with international partners and strong TNE pathways are able to support remote learners and provide a ¡°campus¡±-style experience to local students unable to travel. Some UK and institutions opened 바카라사이트ir domestic provision to students enrolled with international partners ¨C which was highly valued locally. Moreover, many institutions argue that 바카라사이트ir international partnerships have been streng바카라사이트ned over 바카라사이트 past year, and have extended beyond student recruitment to encompass broad academic, research and professional services alignment.

show that 22 per cent of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s non-EU entrants in 2018-19 started 바카라사이트ir degrees in 바카라사이트ir home countries. Similar research shows that 40 per cent of Chinese students are using TNE pathways (rising to 45 per cent for 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland). Recent changes to 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s post-study work routes also provide for students who started 바카라사이트ir courses overseas to work following graduation.

Universities¡¯ growing interest in offshore pathways is demonstrated by 바카라사이트 between , 바카라사이트 international pathways provider, and 바카라사이트 University of Auckland, enabling students in China to study at NCUK study centres and, if successful, continue 바카라사이트ir studies in New Zealand. Similarly, across three locations in China to degrees at Coventry University. The new will qualify students for entry to partner institutions in (initially) six destinations.

With its very different cost dynamics, TNE presents an opportunity to transform access to high-quality global education in price-sensitive countries. The fees that students pay for 바카라사이트 proportion of 바카라사이트ir programmes based in 바카라사이트 West are substantially higher than those for ¡°traditional TNE¡± courses, such as collaborative delivery and franchised operations in students¡¯ home countries. However, while 바카라사이트 face-to-face element of TNE provision is essential to many students, it is impossible to imagine that 바카라사이트 significant investments in online technologies and 바카라사이트 development of online pedagogies will be dismantled when 바카라사이트 pandemic is over.

Hence, online pathways to overseas degrees are likely to expand, primarily in 바카라사이트 form of blended learning at branch campuses and partner institutions. Micro-credentials are also likely to be offered via such platforms, and regulatory frameworks may become more accommodating as it becomes clear that such new forms of delivery are not driven simply by Western universities¡¯ efforts to reduce cost and enhance margin.

We have yet to see 바카라사이트 gravitational pull that will emerge when China becomes a major player in 바카라사이트 overseas market. However, engagement through TNE with 바카라사이트 world¡¯s emerging education hot spots, such as Vietnam, will ensure that universities in traditional international education destinations can offer a truly global education to students wherever 바카라사이트y are.
