The Next Big Thing in International Education: Fall 2013 Issue of IIENetworker
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The fall 2013 IIENetworker magazine, titled "The Next Big
Thing in International Education" is now available as
a free
interactive flipbook.
The field of
international education is experiencing a period of unprecedented growth. The
global education market is reportedly worth $4.4 trillion and growing,
according to the London-based investment bank IBIS Capital. The number of
globally mobile students has surpassed 4 million. The
academic community, governments and the private sector are constantly changing
and adapting – to keep their institutions relevant and competitive, to meet the
demands of the workforce or global development challenges, or simply to better
prepare their students for a global future.
The authors in
this issue of IIENetworker provide many thought-provoking perspectives
on the future of international education. The British Council’s Elizabeth
Shepherd describes various "megatrends" that will impact and shape
international education, such as demographic shifts, changes in political
conditions, digital technology, and global workforce demands. Susan Buck Sutton
from Bryn Mawr College suggests we add 'collaborative internationalization' to
our "arsenal of significant terms," and New York University’s John
Sexton makes the case that the 'global network university' model can address
two major globalization trends: the miniaturization of the world and the
emergence of 'idea capitals.' Others predict that the next big things will
include the commercialization of global research, innovation clusters or even
‘Edu-glomerates.’
