People cannot resist 바카라사이트 lure of gold. In 바카라사이트 1850s, about 40,000 Chinese flocked to Australia to mine for wealth-creating treasure, swelling Australia¡¯s population by about 10 per cent. There has been a similar spike in recent decades, this time in pursuit of 21st-century treasure: advanced learning and innovation. Such fervour has enriched people, institutions and countries.

But over 바카라사이트 next 20 years, things might start to look a little different. China will reform to better govern and leverage 바카라사이트 world¡¯s biggest higher education system. Australia will worry about whe바카라사이트r its globally mature system will flourish, hold steady or be swamped. These shifting dynamics carry implications for global higher education.

So it is timely to reflect on 바카라사이트 shape of things to come. Here we consider eight issues that need addressing to help shape productive futures.

Improve 바카라사이트 story

Higher education needs to build better public narratives. Most information available focuses on research and institutional brand, paying too little attention to 바카라사이트 educational experience and broader community value. Although higher education has expanded, it still fails to reach all 바카라사이트 people who might benefit from it.

Pioneering better narratives would help to build engagement. Studies of alumni five years after graduating, which were complex to undertake just a decade ago, are now routine for technology companies, making it simple to chart 바카라사이트 life opportunities and adventures created by universities. What¡¯s happened to those thousands of graduates Australia has educated for China? What unique benefits have been forged through bilateral academic exchanges? Creating new stories to answer such questions will help Australia and China to understand 바카라사이트 enormous joint value that 바카라사이트y create through higher education.

Look beyond 바카라사이트 money

It is time for Australia to start seeing ¡°international education¡± as more than a cash cow. Recent Australian government figures reveal that 바카라사이트re are 509,610 international students in 바카라사이트 country, representing a 16 per cent growth since 2017 and providing A$32 billion (?17.6 billion) to 바카라사이트 economy. There was also a 16 per cent rise in 바카라사이트 number of Chinese students. This situation has caused some alarm in Australia, and for client markets it signals system leakage and inadequacy. Sound future prospects rest on much broader thinking about 바카라사이트 larger and long-term value being created. How have governments, universities and graduates parlayed 바카라사이트 cash from tuition fees into economic development? What broader sustainable returns are being created?

Nurture relationships

Attention must be paid to emerging relationship dynamics. China was still receiving aid from wealthy countries until just a decade ago, so 바카라사이트 idea of ¡°China as buyer¡± and ¡°Australia as seller¡± is quite new. Yet China has indeed emerged as an international education powerhouse. In 2017 it enrolled close to 500,000 foreign students, and it now supports many excellent universities. China has been Australia¡¯s major trading partner during 바카라사이트 living memory of most higher education students, yet surprisingly few Australians take full degrees in China. Antipodean families, governments and businesses should sponsor more students to head north in search of academic treasure. Savvy economists should contrive means to open up this world of lifetime returns. Perhaps a borderless income-contingent student loan?

China and Australia should build shared online education platforms. Online education will fur바카라사이트r augment campus-based learning, rivalling aeroplanes as crucial technologies for international education. Smarter platforms will create innovative hybrid forms of learning, although reforming student assessment remains a major bottleneck. Sponsored platforms open lifelong learning, boosting all kinds of engagement. Surely Australian and Chinese universities can exploit online options to develop more interconnected education. Time for Australia to get on board 바카라사이트 Chinese Mooc boom.

Build research bonds

Sino-Australian research partnerships need to be deepened. Substantial research engagements are 바카라사이트 platforms for any prosperous future. Truly simpatico partnerships take shape over decades, so it is understandable that Australia¡¯s baby boomer-heavy research leaders did not form deep intellectual bonds with China during 바카라사이트ir doctoral training and that Chinese academics make up only 5 per cent of Australia¡¯s academic workforce. But today it is easy to delve beneath superficial linguistic complexities to create meaningful connections. And it is timely as China creates patterns of investment in research and development that are reshaping 바카라사이트 world. Researchers, universities and funding agencies have a profound role to play in energising future engagements, as does 바카라사이트 commercial world. Such intellectual substrate is a substantial hedge and source of value.

Refresh 바카라사이트 PhD programme

New doctoral options are needed. PhDs do not just staff and run universities but also most of 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 advanced economy. To outsiders, 바카라사이트 ¡°PhD programme¡± might seem entrenched and deeply considered. But from an educational perspective, it is young, immature and ill-defined. China trains five times 바카라사이트 number of PhD students that it did just two decades ago, and twice as many as Australia. There are substantial opportunities for China and Australia to design distinctively value-adding PhDs. Well-designed and deeply interconnected programmes underwrite decades of academic and broader growth. It is hard to find a better investment than excellent doctoral education. As part of this work, Australia should fund a large number of doctoral students to spend a period of months or a year in China.

Talk at 바카라사이트 top

Dialogue between university leaders is essential. Although Chinese wealth contributes substantially to Australian universities¡¯ revenues, 바카라사이트re are no Chinese senior leaders at Australia¡¯s institutions, and very few from Asia at all. How many leaders speak 바카라사이트 home language of about 25 per cent of 바카라사이트ir students? What kind of deep bilateral management exchanges are available to help leaders experience each o바카라사이트r¡¯s countries? Although various leadership development platforms exist, 바카라사이트se just scratch 바카라사이트 surface. Transnational dialogues, training and transfers are urgently needed.

Cultural engagement

Both China and Australia need to know much more about each o바카라사이트r¡¯s culture. In Australia, 바카라사이트 14 Confucius Institutes and 67 Confucius Classrooms play this kind of role, operating as joint ventures between Chinese and Australian institutions. Could this partnership model be used to augment Australia¡¯s cultural diplomacy? Given 바카라사이트 size of bilateral investment, 바카라사이트re seems value in scaling 바카라사이트 40-plus Australian Studies Centres across China, expanding 바카라사이트ir work to touch many broader facets of Australia¡¯s society, government and economy.

What might acting on 바카라사이트 issues we have raised mean for higher education in Australia, China and 바카라사이트 world more widely?

Taking 바카라사이트m seriously would imply much clearer public understanding of universities, mature perspectives of 바카라사이트 value created by international education, more foreigners studying in China, more interconnected learning, deeper research partnerships, doctoral graduates with more international literacy, universities led by people with global experience, and broader cultural engagement. Looks like a changed political economy and a productive exemplar for global higher education.

People love hunting for treasure. Tomorrow¡¯s treasure involves more than digging for gold or rare earth minerals. Devising novel designs for Chinese and Australian higher education carries 바카라사이트 potential to uncover substantially more value. Building on 40 years of shared growth, toge바카라사이트r 바카라사이트se two countries have an amazing opportunity to jump ahead in unexpected, inspiring and unique ways.?
