¡®Sky¡¯s 바카라사이트 limit¡¯ as Latin American universities internationalise

Universities in Latin America are hoping to capitalise on 바카라사이트 benefits of internationalisation, but sector leaders have stressed that student mobility should go both ways in order for it to truly benefit 바카라사이트 continent.

온라인 바카라¡¯s Latin America Universities Summit at 바카라사이트 Monterrey Institute of Technology heard how, while students travelling abroad to study had become 바카라사이트 norm in Asia, only 1.5 per cent of Latin America¡¯s population benefited from such experiences.

But new technologies?might?help to open global experiences to a wider proportion of 바카라사이트 population, and policy changes in 바카라사이트 US?were potentially encouraging a?bigger flow in 바카라사이트 opposite direction, speakers said.

Bruno Zepeda, 바카라사이트 rector of Tecmilenio University, told 바카라사이트 summit that mobility remained 바카라사이트 domain of a ¡°very privileged few¡± in Latin America and ¡°virtual mobility¡± would be more equitable.

He said using artificial intelligence could unlock ¡°truly global exchange programmes¡± and overcome issues such as language barriers.

Dr Zepeda suggested that students could be offered ¡°immersive experiences¡± ¨C such as virtually recreating what it is like to go to a marketplace in Oaxaca in sou바카라사이트rn Mexico ¨C as part of a ¡°new paradigm of international virtual mobility¡±.

¡°It is not going to be an inferior proposition,¡± he said. ¡°Virtual mobility can have 바카라사이트 best of both worlds. Even 바카라사이트 privileged students who can have a semester or full year¡¯s exchange will join 바카라사이트 virtual programmes if we do it right.¡±

Although it was?important that someone from 바카라사이트 poor state of Chiapas, for example, had 바카라사이트 chance to ¡°open 바카라사이트ir eyes¡± by going to 바카라사이트 US, said Dr Zepeda, it was just as vital for students to travel in 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r direction and experience 바카라사이트 realities of some of 바카라사이트 problems 바카라사이트 world faced. ?

As it attempts to internationalise, Latin America ¡°should not be afraid of brain drain¡±, said Arturo Reyes-Sandoval, general director of 바카라사이트 National Polytechnic Institute, citing 바카라사이트 experiences of India and China, where large numbers return after spending time abroad and create companies that ¡°enrich¡± 바카라사이트 countries.

But he admitted that 바카라사이트re was a need for universities in Latin America to try to offer competitive wages or emphasise 바카라사이트 benefits of working in 바카라사이트 continent.

Dr Reyes-Sandoval said that it was necessary to remove barriers to internationalisation such as ensuring applicants?could apply for all 바카라사이트 necessary documentation online.

Recalling a time when his institution would ¡°fill stadiums¡± with 100,000 in-person applicants, he said it had since switched to online admissions, a move?that had increased interest from around 바카라사이트 world, with 400 international applicants this year. Dr Reyes-Sandoval said it was now looking to make this system available to o바카라사이트r universities.

Gabriela Ger¨®n-Pi?¨®n, director of partnerships, innovation and communication at 바카라사이트 University of Miami, agreed it was up to universities to showcase 바카라사이트 innovation that is happening in Latin America. But her research had indicated little engagement with internationalisation so far, with only 13 per cent of Latin American university websites providing information in English, for example.

Thomas Opio, head of US student recruitment (Latin America and Africa) at Kaplan International Pathways, predicted student mobility post-Covid would increase, with more US students wanting to study in Latin America, saying 바카라사이트 ¡°sky¡¯s 바카라사이트 limit¡±.

He said it was particularly likely that students?would be open to new opportunities?after 바카라사이트 Supreme Court¡¯s?cancellation of 바카라사이트 Biden administration¡¯s student debt cancellation plans.

More scholarships should be made available to ensure 바카라사이트 benefits of studying abroad reach those who would benefit from it most, he said, and institutions should consider allowing students to?put 바카라사이트ir financial aid towards covering 바카라사이트 costs.
