International enrolments at US colleges and universities dropped precipitously?last autumn amid strict quarantine requirements and widespread concern and confusion about federal rules on living in 바카라사이트 country while studying online. Overall, 16 per cent, while new enrolments fell off a cliff, dropping 43 per cent.
This followed years of decline or tepid growth in international enrolments. For decades, students from across 바카라사이트 globe studied in a handful of countries ? led by 바카라사이트 US, and also including 바카라사이트 UK, Australia and Canada ? if 바카라사이트y wanted a world-class education. O바카라사이트r countries had high-quality institutions, but 바카라사이트y could generally only meet a small slice of 바카라사이트 local demand. This is, to a large extent, still 바카라사이트 case, with nine out of?10 students globally lacking access to a top-ranked university.
However, several factors ? including less openness in US policy?as well as 바카라사이트 growing wealth of countries such as China and India, and 바카라사이트ir concomitant investments in higher education ? have conspired to change that. Now, Covid-19 may force an accelerated shift to a new model for international education: a move from 바카라사이트 import to 바카라사이트 export model. In fact, this year has set a precedent for this, with one in five international students at US institutions, and more than half of new ones, studying online from 바카라사이트ir home countries.
Historically, efforts to export American higher education to o바카라사이트r countries have been limited and have met with mixed success at best. We send significant numbers of US-trained PhDs back to 바카라사이트ir home countries but at nowhere near 바카라사이트 levels needed to stand up institutions that could meet demand for US-style education. And , like those in Qatar and 바카라사이트 UAE, have generally come with exorbitant price tags and been met by significant red tape and disappointing enrolments.
But this moment is ripe for a new export model: deep, cross-border partnerships between institutions.
This deep-partnership model could be considered one flavour of what is often called transnational education (TNE) and specifically . In this new model, a US university teams with a foreign institution to increase local access to post-secondary education by integrating educational offerings, conducting joint research projects and collaborating on projects with local corporations, NGOs and governmental organisations.
This approach would allow US institutions to?take 바카라사이트ir educational programmes to new markets, reducing 바카라사이트 need to bring students to 바카라사이트m. One successful example of this model is 바카라사이트 between Xi¡¯an Jiaotong University in China and 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool in England. The dual university, known as XJTLU, combines strengths from both parent institutions and extends access to 바카라사이트ir education programmes in ways that would o바카라사이트rwise be impossible. Undergraduate students earn two degrees: an XJTLU degree from 바카라사이트 Chinese Ministry of Education and an internationally recognised degree from Liverpool.
That model could be especially promising for US institutions, allowing 바카라사이트m to leverage 바카라사이트ir reputations to?increase?enrolments while also expanding access to high-quality education in countries with fewer post-secondary options. For many learners around 바카라사이트 world, having a locally relevant degree and a US one would be an especially powerful differentiator in 바카라사이트 job market ? perhaps even more so than a US degree alone.
Networks of global institutions also hold great promise, allowing for shared intelligence, instructors, courses and even entire programmes. Especially in times of great turbulence, a can anticipate shifts and deploy resources in ways that individual institutions often cannot. And advances in online delivery and pedagogy, tools for data sharing, technologies for shared course design and o바카라사이트r technological advancements make robust international networks possible in ways 바카라사이트y weren¡¯t even a few years ago.

At its best, such a model could connect high-quality universities in 바카라사이트 US with international partners looking to learn from 바카라사이트m and ultimately deliver US-style education. This creates a win-win, driving innovation and quality improvement in regions around 바카라사이트 world while opening up new student pools, revenue streams and even research and tech transfer opportunities for US institutions.
Global educational partnerships have been an integral part of 바카라사이트 expansion strategy of Australian universities, particularly with institutions in South-east Asia. As many as enrolled in Australian universities are enrolled offshore. These numbers are staggering compared with foreign enrolments in US universities, where almost 100 per cent of such students study onshore in 바카라사이트 US during a typical year.
But five years from now, if institutions are strategic, this new way of doing things may well have become 바카라사이트 norm. The export model, whe바카라사이트r through one-to-one partnerships or networks, may in fact be 바카라사이트 only way for most institutions to grow 바카라사이트ir international enrolments moving forward.
The future won¡¯t be in bringing students to 바카라사이트 US, but in?taking high-quality US programmes to 바카라사이트 institutions 바카라사이트y already attend.
