Internationalisation – A student-centred approach is key

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Vangelis Tsiligiris. Internationalisation of higher education has gained public attention as one result of the increased cross-border activity of universities across the world. This activity includes, mostly, what Jane Knight defines as 'internationalisation abroad', which takes the form of the movement of programmes, people and institutions across national borders.

EU – Brazil: Internationalisation without Borders

The European Union – Brazil Forum on Internationalisation of Higher Education took place in Brussels on 24 February 2014. The Forum represents a follow-up action agreed at the October 2013 Policy Dialogue in Brasilia and builds upon the current, successful cooperation and dialogue in higher education.
State officials, higher education rectors, vice-rectors and other academic staff from both regions exchanged information on the implementation of their respective mobility programmes: EU’s Erasmus+ programme, which offers more EU-Brazil cooperation opportunities, including the opening of the Erasmus programme to students and university staff all over the world, and Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, which continue to be internationally oriented. Brazilian authorities presented the current state of play and the future plans for their successful Science without Borders programme, emphasising that the European Union was a very popular destination for young Brazilian students and researchers.

Consultation opens on HEA’s Internationalising higher education: framework for action

http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/css/hea2/images/hea2-header-bg-swirl.pngConsultation opens today on the Higher Education Academy’s (HEA) new strategic framework entitled Internationalising higher education: framework for action.
The framework aims to inspire and assist in the process of developing internationalisation policy and practice across the higher education (HE) sector. It ultimately seeks to enhance the quality of the student learning experience for all students studying UK programmes, irrespective of their geographical location. It is therefore designed to be both practical and aspirational. The framework foregrounds learning and teaching in internationalising HE, as it arguably has much to gain from, as well as contribute to the agenda. It is pertinent to, and has implications for organisations, people and curricula in higher education, as internationalising HE has a potential impact upon everyone and everything in HE.
The proposed text for the framework is offered to incite dialogue and discussion. Contributions to this consultation are sought from anyone with an interest or involvement in the process of internationalising higher education, in order to ensure that the framework is as appropriate and helpful to the sector as possible.
The draft text of the framework is available for comment until 9 May, together with background information about how and why the framework has been developed. The framework will be launched at the HEA’s Annual Conference, 2-3 July 2014 at Aston University, Birmingham.
Read the draft framework text and complete the survey at the HEA website.

Internationalisation of Higher Education

EPRS logoBy . Globalisation and technological development have an important influence on higher education. A 2008 OECD study (Higher Education to 2030, Volume 1, Demography) shows that over the next twenty years the demand for Higher Education (HE) is expected to grow from the current 99 million students worldwide to 414 million by 2030, with China showing by far the highest increase in recent years followed by Brazil and India.
On the other hand HE, is a focal point of the Europe 2020 Strategy as the demand for knowledge and skills acquired internationally is rising. With HE’s impact on innovation and research, it provides the highly skilled human capital that knowledge-based economies need to generate growth and prosperity. A 2010 study requested by the European Commission (“Mapping Member States’ external Education & Training policies and tools” / see also the summary published as a policy brief in 2011) examined the external education policies, instruments and tools in the countries concerned. The study identified 625 instruments: 487 in EU/EEA countries and 138 in Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA. More...

The face of internationalisation in Europe: brand new EAIE study unveiled

By . What are the major trends taking place in internationalisation of higher education in Europe? What are the main challenges facing you as a practitioner in the field? What internationalisation activities are you or your institution involved in? A brand new study, The EAIE Barometer: Internationalisation in Europe, has been unveiled by the EAIE, aiming to uncover the true state of internationalisation across the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
“Although many studies have taken place before on the topic of internationalisation, this is the only one to focus directly on those who make internationalisation work in practice,” explains EAIE Executive Director, Leonard Engel. “We aim to utilise our extensive network of individuals across Europe who are actively engaged in internationalisation in order to produce a comprehensive picture of where internationalisation stands today, where it is potentially heading, and how we can help drive it further.”
The EAIE Barometer: Internationalisation in Europe is being carried out on behalf of the EAIE by leading European research and consultancy company, Ecorys. More...

L’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur : les questions

Par Nicolas Charles et Quentin Delpech, chargés de mission au département Travail Emploi du Commissariat général à la stratégie et à la prospective. L’enseignement supérieur se mondialise. Les effectifs d’étudiants dans le monde ont doublé sur la période 2000-2010 avec une croissance de plus de 80 millions. Et cette évolution concerne de plus en plus les pays du Sud : 50 % de cette croissance, soit 40 millions d’étudiants incombe aux seuls quatre pays des BRIC. Cette massification de l’enseignement supérieur devrait d’ailleurs s’accroître sous l’effet de la croissance de la jeunesse et le développement des classes moyennes des pays émergents.

Toujours plus nombreux, les étudiants seront aussi toujours plus mobiles. Le nombre d’étudiants internationaux a plus que doublé entre 1999 et 2010 atteignant alors près de 3,2 millions d’étudiants. Cette mobilité internationale devrait se poursuivre pour atteindre, selon certaines estimations, 7,2 millions d’étudiants en 2025.

La France est une des premières destinations pour ces étudiants en mobilité. En accueillant 260 000 étudiants étrangers en 2010, la France capte 6,3 % de la mobilité internationale étudiante, mais les pays anglo-saxons restent les acteurs dominants de l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur. Les États-Unis restent, en 2010, le premier pays d’accueil des étudiants étrangers (16,6 %), devant le Royaume-Uni (13 %) et l’Australie (6,6 %).

Au-delà de la mobilité étudiante, de nouvelles formes d’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur ont émergé et se renforcent : l’enseignement en ligne à l’international, l’investissement à l’étranger des institutions éducatives (offshore education), sans compter la recherche et l’ensemble des services éducatifs.

La France a d’importants atouts à faire valoir dans cette compétition internationale. Dans la recherche tout d’abord, outre le niveau moyen de ses publications en termes de quantité, la France est particulièrement bien positionnée en matière de collaborations internationales. Le réseau français d’enseignement scolaire à l’étranger est parmi les plus étendus au monde. Près de 320 000 élèves sont scolarisés dans des établissements enseignant en français, dont plus de 50 % ne sont pas de nationalité française.

Les implications d’un approfondissement de l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur sont multiples, tels la qualité de l’enseignement, les risques associés à la marchandisation d’un service public, la capacité et la volonté des acteurs, etc. Mais ces implications n’ont d’égal que les enjeux stratégiques que recouvre cette internationalisation. La France peut en effet retirer d’importants avantages à une participation accrue à l’internationalisation, en termes d’influence internationale, d’attraction des talents du monde entier, d’acquisition de technologies, ou encore de mobilisation de recettes.

La France est dans une position historiquement favorable, mais qui peine à prendre le virage des nouveaux modes d’internationalisation. Certes, les formations françaises s’exportent à l’étranger, notamment dans le management et les sciences de l’ingénieur, mais on est loin des 1400 formations transnationales britanniques accueillant à l’étranger plus de 450 000 étudiants. La France se dote de dispositifs publics de promotion de MOOCS, mais on reste loin des investissements matériels et technologiques consentis par d’autres pays. Les enjeux nécessitent pourtant qu’une stratégie ambitieuse soit rapidement menée dans ce domaine.
