Referring to four strategies of internationalization of higher education, suggested by the Organization for economic cooperation and development, Japan’s strategy is traditionally called mutual understanding approach, aiming mainly at the cultural diplomacy and spreading “soft power” around the globe. However, in modern Japan other strategies may become more important, such as skilled migration approach or capacity building approach. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the reasons for different strategies in internationalization of higher education in Japan. It is argued that both skilled migration approach and capacity building approach are implemented, while the revenue-generating approach is not.

In this article the authors investigated the transformation and integration of the higher education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as a new approach to solving the problems of education in the world practice caused the need for a radical revision of organizational, structural, ideological aspects, updating the content of education, increasing the quality requirements for training specialists in accordance with the current stage of development of Kazakhstan society and global integration processes in the world educational space. In this regard, the article also analyzes the actualization and the problem of professional training of foreign students in the main areas of higher education: the solutions to such problems as the internationalization of education and the coordination of the activities of the legislative and executive bodies of states in the field of education, and the possibility of organizing a unified system of continuing education and improving the quality of education at all its levels were considered. The authors determined the genesis of the development of professional training of foreign students in higher education institutions of Kazakhstan, motivated by the dependence of education on the needs of society, its economy and national and cultural characteristics; as well as the dependence of the choice of the country of study on the “intellectuality” of the environment, and also made a forecast of the prospects for the development of professional training of foreign students and the internationalization of higher education in general.

Internationalization is a rapidly growing trend among the higher education system around the world. Academic and research institutions demonstrate a growing interest in the processes of internationalization of higher education, at the international, regional, national, and institutional levels. Internationalization and global engagement are becoming key trends in the development of national systems of education in Armenia and abroad. Numerous researchers have highlighted the problematics of internationalization of higher education associated with the cultural impact of university education, a synergy of humanitarian and natural sciences, intercultural communication, digital and blended learning, international credit and degree mobility, the introduction of international standards for measuring the quality of education defined by the Bologna Declaration. Although internationalization has become established in education at the international level, it should be realized that at the moment there is no single policy or strategy for the internationalization of the higher education system in Armenia, both at the regional and national levels. The lack of uniform strategy is in some way offset at the institutional level: the increasing number of Armenian higher education institutions have integrated internationalization, to varying degrees, in their mission and vision. It can be seen in the activities of the leading universities in Armenia. The global knowledge economy requires all universities to be the competitors for students, faculties, strategic partnerships, and research funding, as well as to prepare their graduates to be global professionals, scholars, highly demanded and competitive. Indicating the mechanism of the implementation of an international component into the existing curricula, programs, research, teaching, and learning processes may contribute to the understanding of the process of internationalization of higher education. Thus, more research is needed on the experience of Armenia and other countries in implementing the provisions of the Bologna process. The purpose of this article is to examine the theoretical and practical aspects of the internationalization process, identifying some challenges and obstacles for the Armenian higher education system and presenting possible ways of overcoming them.

Modern Uzbekistan undergoes wide-scale social and economic reforms that include the modernization of higher education system. This paper aims at evaluating the actual and potential impact of the reforms in Uzbekistan’s higher education on the Russian universities’ opportunities to export education to Uzbekistan. Accordingly, the paper traces the evolution of the national higher education system under President Islam A. Karimov (from 1991 to 2016), analyzes the new priorities of higher education policies set by his successor Shavkat M. Mirziyoyev, shows their interlinkages with the transition to a new model of national development, and focuses on the objectives and instruments of higher education internationalization. Theoretically and methodologically, the research relies on the concepts of internal and external internationalization of higher education, Clark’s model of higher education system elements, and Trow’s concept of higher education massification levels. The authors show the scale and interconnectedness of higher education challenges that have been developing in Uzbekistan in the course of the 25 years of its independence. The authors argue that higher education internationalization has become a way to achieve a number of objectives, in particular to improve the quality of higher education, orient it to massification, make it more accessible in the country’s regional centers. The paper shows the parameters of internal and external internationalization of higher education in Uzbekistan that has demonstrated the unprecedented dynamics in post-Soviet countries. The paper underlines that the policy of rapprochement with Russia launched by Tashkent in 2016 has created exceptionally beneficial opportunities for Russian universities to work in Uzbekistan and attract Uzbek students. Four mid-term scenarios of higher education internationalization in Uzbekistan are suggested.

The article describes the experience of Belarus in the field of international academic mobility. The purpose of the article is to reveal the theoretical and methodological aspects of the internationalization of higher education and academic mobility and describe the current situation on the integration of Belarus into the international context, from a sociological and statistical perspective. In view of the significant number of Belarusian students in Polish and Eastern European universities, the topic is relevant in the context of the study of academic mobility in Eastern Europe. As part of the first task, the theoretical aspects of studying the internationalization of higher education in the country are described – with justification for the development of both the external and internal internationalization, as well as a description of various types of students’ adaptation when studying abroad (academic, linguistic, socio-cultural). As part of the second task, the results of the author’s sociological study are presented, which includes two main components. Firstly, the results of a survey devoted to the study of the views of Belarusian students regarding academic mobility (including cognitive, affective and behavioural aspects) are presented. Secondly, the results of a series of in-depth interviews among participants in the processes of academic mobility aimed at studying the practices of Belarusian students staying abroad for educational purposes are considered. The studies showed the need to increase the awareness of Belarusian students about the possibilities of academic mobility (the vast majority of students have incomplete or fragmented ideas about the possibilities of academic mobility), as well as the problem of the incomplete involvement of the Belarusian higher education system in the international context (the activity of students participating in exchange programs is not counted at Belarusian universities). In accordance with the results, recommendations are given for the further integration of the Belarusian higher education system into the international context.

Emergence and integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in the global education system has significantly enhanced intelligible teaching and learning, particularly in the developing countries. Among the developing countries, Nigeria has equally integrated ICT in its educational system. While the information driven technology has little or no integration in the lower level of education, it is intensively integrated in the higher education system. Although the Nigerian education system lacks integration of robust ICT tools to support virtual and in learning, the installed basic ICT tools such as computers, multimedia projectors, process, and internet have greatly changed the face of the country's educational administration and teaching and learning from the traditional practice. Effective and efficient use of ICT are however affected by extrinsic and intrinsic barriers. The need to strengthen the ICT framework and deployment for a more robust teaching and learning process in the country's education system is emphasized.

International cooperation is a growing trend among research universities. In the past, this took the form of collaboration between researchers in developing countries with those in the developed world that enjoy superior access to fnancial and technical resources as well as infrastructure. More recently, the collaboration map has begun to change, as scientists in developed countries recognised how local context can affect their work, and those in developing countries are slowly building their research capabilities. Furthermore, South-South research collaboration is considered increasingly important, alongside developments in science and higher education in these countries. Following a brief overview of the Brazilian higher education system, this article discusses the complexity of establishing international collaboration, citing a few programmes aiming at strengthening South-South cooperation. La coopération internationale ne cesse de croitre au sein des universités de recherche. Dans le passé, elle prenait la forme d’une collaboration entre les chercheurs de pays en voie de développement et ceux de pays développés, qui ont accès à des ressources fnancières et techniques ainsi que des infrastructures supérieures. Plus récemment, le format des collaborations a commencé à changer, alors que les scientifques des pays développés reconnaissent la manière dont le contexte local impacte leur travail, tandis que ceux des pays en voie de développement créent doucement des capacités de recherche. Par ailleurs, la collaboration de recherche sud-sud est de plus en plus considérée essentielle, parallèlement aux développements de la science et de l’enseignement supérieur dans ces pays. Après une brève introduction au système d’enseignement supérieur brésilien, cet article aborde la complexité de la mise en place de partenariats internationaux, en faisant référence à quelques programmes visant à renforcer les coopérations sud-sud.

The topic of “quality” has received much concern in the context of higher education all over the world. Developing countries like India are also striving forward to improve their higher education system by taking various initiatives. Experts in the respected field have been envisaged that assessment of quality must incorporated the perceptions of its stakeholders. However, with reference to India, the quality of higher education has been assessed through external bodies and the quality of higher education has been hardly studied through its internal bodies particularly the primary stakeholders views were not actually taken into account. The present study is about studying the perceptions of the primary stakeholders on the key components of the higher education. The study will aid the authorities in reflecting and planning the higher education system in order to improve and maintain the quality. KEYWORDS: Higher education, Quality, Perceptions of stakeholders, Mizoram.
