EDUC 6761:Week 2 Assignment

Continue working on the project you started last week by researching how your country is responding to globalization in higher education. Countries generally post their current policies and goals online, along with challenges and recommendations regarding attainment of those goals. When reviewing resources, be sure to include those authored by your country's government, such as the Ministry of Education, as well as those by World Bank or UNESCO. Note that while sites for Ministry of Education are written in the native language, many include an option to translate into English.

By Day 7

Assess how globalization has affected higher education in your chosen country. Write 3 pages on the following, citing from this week's Resources, websites, and/or other resources:

What is the current national policy in your country on higher education, especially as related to global higher education issues?

What is the purpose of higher education in your country, such as social or economic development? Explain why.

What changes are occurring in the student population, such as massification or increase in demand? Be specific.

Include anything that surprised you in your research about education in your country that elucidates the challenges and opportunities of globalization in higher education.
