Are these trends truly Global Trends? • Can you copy a plan from a university from the USA? From an Australian university? A Finnish one?
Europe • Less public funding; Student is becoming a costumer (fees go up) • HE is a global market (source of income) and institutions try to attract students • Net receiver of students (UK, Germany, France…) • Inter EU mobility main focus South to North & East to West • English is becoming the dominant language • EU Bologna model is spreading… (see Trends V report form the EUA and articles from John Yopp & Pedro Teixeira and Tatyana Koryakina)
North America • Decline of the dominant position of the USA as destination for students, losing students to (mainly) Europe • Relatively few outgoing students • Outgoing students generally go on short programs (week/month long excursions) or summer schools • Government interest to raise outgoing numbers. • Programs such as IIE Network Generation Abroad to double the number of study abroad students. • No tradition of exchange • Education as a business from long ago. Student as a customer.
South America: Global Trends? • Huge investments in scholarship programs (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador). Will they continue? • Focus on training of students through Study Abroad. • More and more private investment in Higher Education • Main focus of student mobility is to North America, but the EU is growing (see also articles from Jocelyne Gacel Avilla and Dzulkifli Abdul Razak, in the EAIE handbook)
Oceania • Australia vs. the rest of the region • Student has been a costumer for a long time. • Some movement away from the commercial model and more interest in the concept of 'comprehensive internationalisation' a la John Hudzik. (focus remains on making money) • Growing focus on the Pacific Rim and Asia (and away from Europe). (also see: Melissa Koops article in the EAIE handbook)
Asia: huge continent, huge differences • Governments are spending more on Higher Education, but lack the Educational capacity. • Japan, South Korea and Malaysia have an aging population and they are trying to attract more incoming students (as well as send their students out on exchange). • China aims to get cooperation based on equality and not brain drain (double degrees). • Main focus of student mobility is to North America, but the EU is growing.
Africa • The 17.5% of the total government expenditure spent on Education is the highest in the world (12,2% in North America and Western Europe). • Ongoing Brain drain, not only to Europe, also within Africa (to Benin, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Morocco, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania). • Increasing number of students going to the Gulf countries (See article Pascal Hoba and AbdeslamMarfouk in EAIE Handbook)
