Internationalization In Higher Education

The article investigates the concept of internationalization in higher education for society (IHES) and discusses the role of social license to internationalize, its contextual variations, and implications for internationalization practices in New Zealand and Indonesia. The notion of social license to operate is common in the extraction and some service industries; however, the concept of social license to internationalize constitutes an innovative direction for research concerned with IHES and the global international education industry. Social license to internationalize emerged as a pivotal feature of internationalization practices in New Zealand and Indonesia. It reflected the public recognition of IHES, manifested in the cultural and social value of internationalization. The construction of social license to internationalize presented itself as a strategic priority for the governments and higher education institutions (HEIs) in both research settings. The conceptual underpinnings of social license to internationalize, and hence the means of constructing the latter varied depending on the local context, but they served a common purpose of reification of internationalization practices. The study of social license to internationalize contributes to a broader discussion on IHES and sheds lights on the mechanisms of building meaningful and mutually beneficial connections between the stakeholders of the global international education industry and the wider public.

<p>International education today is an important export industry for New Zealand. It has come a long way from its origins as a developmental scholarship programme for countries in South and Southeast Asia under the Colombo Plan. This thesis studies the concepts and debates related to international education globally; and traces its development in New Zealand over three stages to investigate how it has been transformed from “education for aid” to “education for trade”.  This transformation has taken place against the backdrop of neoliberal globalisation. Adopting a constructivist approach, I argue that the commercialisation of international education is influenced by normative factors such as globalisation and regionalism, as well as a conscious decision made by the state based on the material resources New Zealand possesses as an English language speaking country with a relatively advanced liberal education system attractive to developing countries, particularly in Asia.  I construct New Zealand’s export education industry in its current state using Wendt’s framework of three elements of social structure. Assuming that the neoliberal norm persists, this thesis identifies the critical factors affecting the continued wellbeing and future development of the export education industry as follows: 1) the quality and reputation of New Zealand’s international education; 2) the continued economic growth of key student source countries and the ongoing demand for overseas education; and 3) the willingness of people from these countries to purchase education services from New Zealand.</p>

Education Industry

Australia's international education ‘industry', a major export sector, slumped in 2010 because of more restrictive migration policy and visa processing, a crackdown on backdoor migration schemes, a high Australian dollar and tardy official response to racist violence affecting international students. A package of reforms in late 2011 freed up visa processing and work experience for graduates but so far industry recovery has been slow and uncertain.

Education In China

The paper analyzed the current status and policy evolution of international education industry in China based on statistical data of the education market scale, source countries, education levels and study subjects. It is found that the international education in China has undergone three major stages, including the stage of &ldquo;unified national management dominated by politics&rdquo;, the stage of &ldquo;exploration of the model for self-financed study abroad&rdquo;, and the stage of &ldquo;all-round open development&rdquo;. The achievements of international education industry are closely related to the key policies in the 3 stages. The research shows that the scale of international education in China is basically the same as that in the developed countries but there exists a big import and export deficit since China has slightly smaller international market share. Asian and African countries are the main sending countries of international students, and students from these countries prefer to receive academic education in China than those from Europe and America. In terms of major subjects, Chinese language and literature are still the main subjects, but engineering, economics and management are becoming more popular. Finally, suggestions are made on how to further expand the international education market and optimize the international education structure in China.

Theoretical Foundations

The phenomenon of multiethnic groups is becoming an urgent issue at the university level. An increased number of mixed groups of learners from different cultures highlights the lack of appropriate methods and means of planning the educational process and requires developing a newer scientific understanding of the education individualization as a strategy for training specialists at the pedagogical university. This paper deals with the theoretical foundations of the individualization in students training in the multiethnic group. The authors have set the objectives of studying the passport of the current national project «Education» by the Russian government; of analyzing the theoretical foundations of multicultural education; of developing some new principles which are to complete the author's concept of individualization of professional training of students at the pedagogical university; of describing the culture maps as a means of individualization of education within multiethnic groups. The authors come to the conclusion that even general understanding of students’ culture-specific behaviours in the educational environment, made into the culture map for each individual multiethnic university group of the university,can help to promote mutual understanding between the subjects of the educational process, which is a factor of the outer individualization. Besides, it can help students accurately understand the professional goals of their training at a Russian pedagogical university, and motivate students to develop an active social attitudes, which is a factor of the inner individualization of training. The authors emphasise the important role of the culture-specific factors in the process of individualization of professional training of students in the multiethnic group of a pedagogical university. The results obtained in the paper can be used in education in order to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the Russian universities in the international education industry.
