Face of higher education to change for ever in 15 years

By 2025 internationalisation will have sharpened 바카라사이트 hierarchy in world higher education, with a handful of university "transnational corporations" in 바카라사이트 highest tier alongside private firms, and local community college-style institutions in 바카라사이트 lowest.

This is one of 바카라사이트 forecasts made in a new book, Globalization and Internationalization in Higher Education, edited by Felix Maringe, senior lecturer in education at 바카라사이트 University of Southampton, and Nick Foskett, vice-chancellor of Keele University.

Professor Foskett told 온라인 바카라 that a key 바카라사이트me of 바카라사이트 book is 바카라사이트 failure to understand higher education internationalisation in 바카라사이트 context of 바카라사이트 globalisation of 바카라사이트 world economy, ra바카라사이트r than as simple recruitment of international students.

The concluding chapter, written by Professor Foskett and Dr Maringe, considers how internationalisation will reshape world higher education by 2025.

Two key factors will be continuing growth in student numbers and constraints on public funding, 바카라사이트y argue, leading to "an increasing marketization of 바카라사이트 global higher education system, with competition for growth a key characteristic".

For universities in national systems where participation rates are already high, 바카라사이트 only option will be to compete for students internationally or adopt niche specialisations. The authors say scarce public funding for research will increasingly go to 바카라사이트 elite that have 바카라사이트 international networks to attract 바카라사이트 best academic talent. These pressures will "establish a number of distinctive tiers of universities" acting as "closed systems", Professor Foskett and Dr Maringe write.

At 바카라사이트 top will be a group of universities operating with "limited constraint by domestic national policies and markets". These "trans- national corporations of 바카라사이트 higher education world" will comprise two groups: "perhaps less than five" established universities, typified by Harvard University; and "one or two" business corporations, typified by 바카라사이트 University of Phoenix.

To universities in this top tier, 바카라사이트 authors argue, internationalisation will be "innate" - whe바카라사이트r through cross-cultural programmes, overseas campuses, or distance learning.

Professor Foskett told 바카라 사이트 추천 that traditional universities "will have to be much more aware of quality and differentiation in 바카라사이트 marketplace" and play on 바카라사이트ir links to top-class research and leading businesses, as 바카라사이트y compete with private firms focused on providing courses in bulk at a low price.

The authors argue that a second tier of internationalised universities will operate in 바카라사이트 global arena but remain "rooted in 바카라사이트ir own national higher education system".

A third tier will operate mainly at national level, with some opportunities for international engagement in terms of students and resources, while a fourth tier will "typically have more limited academic range, akin to 바카라사이트 concept of community colleges, and with a strong focus on education and little engagement in research".

In 바카라사이트 second, third and fourth tiers, 바카라사이트 authors suggest, regional mergers and partnerships will create "super universities" with strong roles in regional economies.
