Subject UK higher education outfits' work in South-east Asian markets. Significance UK academics are debating whether their universities should be pursuing projects in Myanmar, given its government's current embroilment in the Rohingya minority and Rakhine State controversy. The reaction illustrates the political challenges potentially facing UK universities as they expand their transnational education (TNE) offerings in South-east Asia's burgeoning higher education (HE) markets. Impacts Non-EU foreign students could make up for declining EU student numbers in UK HE institutions as Brexit nears. UK HE institutions will lead the development of TNE in mainland South-east Asia and the Philippines. Malaysian efforts to become a South-east Asian educational hub will not threaten the UK position in the near term. Delays to ASEAN integration, especially education services and mobility, will dent access to tertiary education in the region. South-east Asian demand for technology associated with education, including the internet and computers, will grow.

Students' Independent Professional Activity in Pedagogical PracticeThe topicality of the research is determined by the need for changes in higher education concerned with implementing the principles of sustainable education. The article focuses on teacher training, highlighting the teacher's profession as an attractive choice of one's career that permits to ensure the development of general and professional skills and an opportunity for new specialists to align with the labour market. The empirical study of students' understanding of their professional activity and of the conditions for its formation is conducted by applying structured interviews (of practice supervisors, students, academic staff); students and experts' questionnaire. Comparative analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and triangulation were used in case studies. As a result, a framework of pedagogical practice organisation has been created in order to form students' independent professional activity. The criteria and indicators of independent professional activity have been formulated and suggestions for designers of study programmes and organisers of the study process have been provided.
