AUSTRALIA: Transparency benefits international education
25.01.2011
The strength of Australia's quality assurance regime and government transparency have seen it place second in a new index.The index rates countries on their policies regarding the engagement and promotion of internationalisation in higher education.
Germany heads the list of 11 nations. Australia scored the highest in quality assurance and recognition, second on openness, and third on access and equity in the index which was developed by the British Council.
"It captures and measures the national system in how prepared it is to engage internationally," said Janet Ilieva, head of higher education intelligence and research for the British Council.
"It looks at various aspects of policy; how open it is, how it promotes its higher education system abroad, what are the policies in terms of mobility of teaching faculty, researchers and students. It looks at whether there are barriers to the movement of students and academics to and from other countries and the levels of support they are given. It looks at both inflows and outflows."
Dr Ilieva said the first index was a pilot, with an index on Southeast Asian countries due out by mid-March.
"The index puts the whole notion of internationalisation into a more tangible or quantifiable framework," Dr Ilieva said. "It allows us to track various countries' policies over time which allows you to see future trends in a more clear manner.
"The trend I expect we will see in the future is developing countries becoming much more active and open in their engagement with the rest of the world. China and Malaysia are already scoring highly which indicates their political systems want to interact more openly with other countries."
