THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR AUSTRALIA AND ITS EDUCATION 'CLIENTS'

摘要

Institutions of higher education are today under increasing pressure to internationalize their courses and programmes. The overall impact of this process is far from clear. This essay compares and contrasts patterns of Australian higher education offered to students from developing countries, with services delivered to Australian-born students. We suggest that the process of globalization is contributing to uneven economic and educational development, and may weaken the over-stretched educational systems of poorer countries.
