International Partnerships Open Up in Burma

Beckie Smith reports for The PIE News on the last in a series of international engagement workshops in Myanmar organized by IIE. "The country’s higher education system is in a state of major transition following the dissolution of the military junta in 2011, so one key element of the pilot course ... is a newly forged network to foster collaboration globally and within the local higher education system." Clare Banks from IIE’s Center for International Partnerships in Higher Education told The PIE News "This cooperation and networking will be essential as [universities] adapt their structures, governance, and processes to reflect changing needs and increased independence."
