Description

This book documents the growing mobility of international students in the Asia Pacific. International students comprise over 2.7m students and it is estimated by the OECD that this will top 8 million in 2020. The great majority of them are students from the Asian countries who study in the Europe, North The usa and Asia. As well as countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong are becoming “education hubs” and are proposing to draw international students. Over 42% of international students come from Asia and this is predicted to continue with the strong presence of students from China, India, Korea and Japan continuing. A younger population, a growing middle class and shortages of quality education providers in the Asia Pacific region means that this mobility will be a feature of the future. 

This book explores questions around the mobility of international students in the context of the global economy and an increasingly more competitive trans-national education market. It also explores questions about the experience of international students basically from the Asia Pacific region at a time of increased global lack of confidence and growing hostile reactions to foreigners in the post September 11th era. This book emerges from empirical work from several research projects funded by the World Bank and several community projects to fortify international students. The focal point may be on the way in which student mobility promotes growing connection within the Asia Pacific, in addition to other regions, and provides the foundations for new notions of global citizenships.
