Internationalization is an emerging trend in the development of higher education institutions (HEIs). Around the world, several projects and university associations and collaborations are launched to enhance internationalization including in Indonesia. For Indonesia, internationalization is an inevitable process and considered as a strategic step that Indonesian government should take in the globalizing world, especially after the ratification of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) by the government in 1994. Since then, the Government of Indonesia revises and produces policy and statutory regulations to promote international education in Indonesia and guarantee a good practice of integration of international dimension. Although many studies have been conducted to analyze this trend, very few studies focus on the legislations support for internationalization. For this purpose, the authors analyze the regulation with a normative juridical approach.

Evidence Based Decision Making

Strategic management in higher education (HE) has become data-reliant. Most higher education institutions (HEIs) all over the world have implemented quality assurance (QA) and institutional research (IR) with the purpose of generating data that that would assist in evidence-based decision making for better strategic management. However, data generated through QA and IR processes have to be integrated and streamlined in order to successfully inform strategic management. One of the challenges facing higher education institutions is to integrate the data generated by QA and IR processes effectively. This chapter examines examples of good practice for integrating the data generated by these processes for use as tools to inform strategic management, using the University of Namibia as a reference point. The chapter offers suggestions on how higher education institutions may be assisted to overcome challenges when integrating the outcomes of QA and IR processes in order to close the quality loop through effective strategic management.

AbstractIt is hard for me to imagine three words that more meaningfully capture the forces that have animated my professional life over the last quarter century. As an international education specialist, a researcher focused on higher education institutions and systems around the world, and as someone who has worked for two European-level higher education associations, the power and potential of universities, working in tandem through the mechanisms of associations, and engaging internationally to advance their collective interests and agendas, resonates with me very clearly and very personally.

Financing Higher Education

Students' application for higher education admission is significantly increasing from time to time. As a result, it effects the increasing financial cost to provide the facilities, human resources, and others. A student with high potential but cannot afford to cover the expenses, has no opportunity for his further studies due to their financial problem. Financing problems for higher education institutions is not a new problem, in fact, it becomes a big issue nowadays. Brunei Darussalam is fortunate since the government still provides free education for locals who fulfill the requirements. However, currently, there are complaints from the parents on educational financing. The same situation will happen in Brunei if we do not find a solution that can solve the problem. This research will identify to what extent waqf credibility can solve the financial problems for higher education students. The research methodology will be used as a descriptive qualitative by analyzing the content by reviewing informative secondary data such as journals, paper works, and relevant articles. In order to solve the financial problems in a higher education institution, waqf contribution is very significant and should be expanded for higher education development as an ummah development agent.

The increasing competition and commercialization of higher education has led to the internationalization of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) around the world. While internationalization appears to be inevitable, differences are apparent in its definitions, depth, scope and mode. The main aim of this paper is to assess the internationalization efforts of Malaysian HEIs through a case study on the internationalization process of one private HEI. The case highlights various weaknesses of the internationalization effort in the institution. The symptoms and the causes of the problems in the institution corroborate similar findings in other studies involving the internationalization of HEIs. Suggestions and recommendations are presented to enable other organizations that wish to undertake similar internationalization efforts to learn from the case study institution’s experience.

China’s non-government Higher Education sector has experienced 40 years of growth but has faced a range of problems in recent years. There is an urgent need to think carefully about future directions and approaches that non-government universities might take. Internationalization is changing the world of education and has become important strategically for Higher Education institutions across the world. This research explores what internationalization might mean and provides an understanding of internationalization in the context of Chinese non-government universities. Under the internationalization framework in Western academic literature, this study investigates the practice from a case study university in China. Data were collected through semistructured interviews along with document analysis. Participants indicated that internationalization is learning, integrating initiatives for mutual benefit and can be an accelerator for overall development of universities. Furthermore, the government and  society need to work together to create a more equitable government policy that positively encourages China’s non-government Higher Education institutions to bolster internationalization.Keywords: China, non-government institutions, internationalization
