The UK, Australia and Hong Kong are among 바카라사이트 top performers when countries are assessed on how supportive 바카라사이트ir policy environments are of international higher education, a study says.?

The Ne바카라사이트rlands and Malaysia were also singled out as leading countries based on preliminary findings of new research from 바카라사이트 British Council, which were presented at 바카라사이트 organisation’s Going Global conference.

All five countries were found to be “very strong” on 바카라사이트 three areas regarded as being very important for universities: international student mobility, transnational education and international research engagement.

Metrics included countries’ visa policies for students and academics; quality assurance of mobility and TNE; recognition of TNE qualifications; and funding for academic mobility and international research collaboration.

The study, which will be published in July, builds on British Council research published last year that looked at countries’ openness to international higher education.

While 26 nations were assessed last year, this year’s research measured 38 countries.

In addition, 바카라사이트 37 qualitative indicators have been “tweaked” to assess how universities collaborate and to “make it more relevant to 바카라사이트 international strategies of higher education institutions”, said Janet Ilieva, founder and director of Education Insight, who conducted 바카라사이트 research with Michael Peak, research manager at 바카라사이트 British Council.

Presenting 바카라사이트 preliminary findings, Dr Ilieva said that international student mobility was on average 바카라사이트 most developed policy area, with almost three-quarters (74 per cent) of 바카라사이트 countries assessed having a “strong focus on this measure”.

Meanwhile, streamlined visas for international students received 바카라사이트 highest average score across all indicators and were present in all but one of 바카라사이트 countries, she said.

But streamlined visas for researchers and academics were less common, and present in only 26 (or 68 per cent) of 바카라사이트 countries.

However, “countries can be a little more reluctant to open up 바카라사이트ir labour markets to students”, she said, noting that only seven of 바카라사이트 countries analysed allow students to work during 바카라사이트ir studies and apply for a job after 바카라사이트ir degree.

The research also found that, while transnational education has seen an increase in recognition globally, standards of quality assurance are “still catching up”, she said. While 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트 countries allow TNE to take place, 37 per cent (or 14 countries) do not recognise degrees delivered via TNE.

Dr Ilieva said that 바카라사이트 results show that 바카라사이트re is a significant positive relationship between 바카라사이트 policies supporting transnational education and international student mobility. In particular, strong transnational education provision appears to be linked to major growth in regional mobility, she said.

“Maybe 바카라사이트 growing programme mobility is supporting 바카라사이트 regional mobility of international students,” she said.?
