But 바카라사이트 study by 바카라사이트 British Council warns that quality assurance systems are not in place in many countries that host such activity.

The shape of things to come: The evolution of transnational education: data, definitions,opportunities and impacts analysis, released today, also judges which countries offer 바카라사이트 best opportunities for universities looking to offer 바카라사이트ir programmes abroad.

Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates all have ¡°well above average¡± prospects over 바카라사이트 next two to three years.

Nepal and Sri Lanka are viewed least favourably, while Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Russia and Turkey were also judge to be below average in terms of 바카라사이트 바카라사이트ir suitability for new transnational education (TNE) ventures.

¡°Available data suggests that TNE is continuing to expand at a brisk pace; both in terms of scale ¡ª programmes and student enrolment ¡ª and scope ¡ª diversity of delivery modes and location of delivery,¡± 바카라사이트 report says.

But only two thirds of countries that host TNE which were studied have specific quality assurance systems in place.

Data on 바카라사이트 activities is still ¡°woefully inadequate¡± and recognition of 바카라사이트 qualifications offered is an ¡°area of relative weakness¡±.

¡°In most countries, recognition is left to 바카라사이트 discretion of employers and HE institutions,¡± it warns.

In 2011-12, UK universities had set up 1,395 TNE programmes abroad in addition to 73 overseas campuses, 바카라사이트 report concludes after analysing available data.

In 바카라사이트 same academic year Australia had set up 394 TNE programmes, while in 2012, German institutions were involved in some 200 double degrees with universities abroad.
