Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The Fall 2013 issue of IIENetworker magazine, which focused on the "Next Big Thing in International Education", is now available as a free interactive flipbook. The authors in this issue discuss the future of international higher education. In "Megatrends," the British Council’s Elizabeth Shepherd describes seven emerging trends—such as demographic shifts, changes in political conditions, digital technology, and global workforce demands—driving the future of international education. "The next big thing in international education will be found at the intersection of these drivers. When and where these trends come together will shape the future of the world’s international education, and their examination through scenario planning and stress tests will allow us to be better prepared for the next big thing," writes Shepherd.
