Rise of Education Hubs

Education Hubs Dubai

Singapore

•Launched in 2007 •Over 48,000 students

•Global Schoolhouse – Launched 2002 •Currently 84,000 international students hopes to have 150,000 international students by 2015

– –

57% international – many expats living in the region 43% regional

Rationale: •Develop national workforce: bridge gaps between industry requirement and graduate skill set •Expansion of HE sector to meet demand

Rationale: •Education to be engine for economic & sustainable growth •Attract, develop and retain pool of talented individuals

Malaysia • 90,000 from 168 countries 200,000 by 2020.

Rationale: • Status • HR • Research • Quality • International students • Stems outflow of currency • Foreign presence v influence

International Branch Campuses

80% of overseas campuses originate from institutions of just 5 countries – the US, France, UK, India and Australia.

Challenges • • • • • • • •

Changing recruitment patterns from traditional sending markets, accessing new markets will require different approaches.

Rising competitiveness from major host nations, driven by policy support, and the eventual emergence of new host destination countries.

Rankings and expectations matter: e.g. can the UK maintain mobility without sacrificing quality?

Volatility of markets Rapidly changing global HE environment : are we equipped to deal with this?

Greater availability of overseas programmes Student mobility more common for 1 year programmes rather than 3 or 4 year programmes Increase in regional mobility
