“Ensure Equitable Quality Education and Lifelong Learning for All by 2030: The Contribution of Open, Online and Flexible Higher Education to the Post-2015 Global Education Agenda”
The ICDE - UNESCO Policy Forum brought together decision-makers in government and senior management in higher education institutions. The objectives of the Forum were twofold: (i) to inform participants about the ongoing consultation process regarding the post-2015 global education agenda; and (ii) to discuss the contribution of technology-enhanced Higher Education to the future education agenda and to the development of 21st century sustainable societies.
“ Education governance for tomorrow: A strategic outlook for improved outcomes “
Find out how policy-makers in the sphere of education and skills can use a strategic mindset and outlook to more effectively shape governance.
Working from the foundations of these concepts and then looking at real-world examples, it will investigate how a strategic governance approach to design and implementation can result in improved outcomes.
Changes in the global economy have posed challenges to many education providers. This has created a demand for innovative international education and training options, a demand which institutions have been unable to fulfil because of financial and resource constraints and a lack of pedagogical and program-design expertise. Eridux can assist institutions in crafting solutions to these challenges through institutional innovation, creative program design.
2015. What education do we need for the 21st century? What is the purpose of education
in the current context of societal transformation? How should learning be organized?
These questions inspired the ideas presented in this publication.
In the spirit of two landmark UNESCO publications, Learning to Be: The world of
education today and tomorrow (1972), the ‘Faure Report’, and Learning: The treasure
within (1996), the ‘Delors Report,’ I am convinced we need to think big again today

1. PART II. PRIMER
A. Introduction
Cross-border higher education, at times also referred to as transnational education, is a pheno-
menon that covers a variety of ways in which either people, courses, programs or in some cases the
whole institutional framework, move in order to make education available beyond national bor-
ders. In the face of continuously growing demand for higher education and given the scope of
opportunities for different approaches to be tried and tested, it is not surprising that discussions on
cross-border education have multiplied. Higher education leaders and policy makers alike feel the
need to examine and better understand the various reasons that act as push and pull factors for the
growth of cross-border activities, the potential benefits and risks as well as the longer-term impacts
these developments may have on the rest of the educational system.
In this two-part event – a Global Meeting of Associations of Universities and an International
Conference open to all stakeholders in higher education, the International Association of
Universities (IAU) pursues several goals, including to:
PA R T II. P R I M E R
• provide a global forum for examining the current trends and new developments of cross-border
higher education;
• enable national, regional and international associations of universities and higher education ins-
titutions to reflect on the challenges that cross-border education poses for their members, for them
and globally;
• disseminate, gain support for and begin implementing, the declaration: Sharing Quality Higher
Education Across Borders – a Statement on behalf of Higher Education Institutions Worldwide;
• review and discuss the implementation of other policy initiatives such as the guidelines developed
by UNESCO and OECD to ensure that rules of good conduct are applied to cross-border edu-
cation;
• determine what concrete steps and specific actions can be taken by associations and institutions,
on an individual basis and collectively, to ensure that benefits of cross border education are maxi-
mized, most particularly for learners;
• debate, whether and if so how, on-going monitoring and other follow-up activities should be envi-
saged by university associations acting collectively and possibly with other stakeholders.
The Global Meeting of Associations
The Global Meeting of Associations will, naturally, place more emphasis on how cross-border edu-
cation impacts on their work, what new expectations it may raise among their members and what
new services and expertise may be required. Associations will be able to compare notes in terms
of the importance of the phenomenon in their regions and to discuss whether and how it is under-
stood by their membership. Policy development, research, advocacy and new or on-going member
services will be among the possible areas of action to be considered.
Associations will be asked, especially in smaller Working Groups to deliberate on questions such as:
• Is there a common understanding of what is covered by cross-border education?
• Why are policy statements and guidelines such as those being discussed in the international arena
needed?
• What are the main challenges that cross-border education poses and to whom?
• Is a voluntary system of guidelines and statements of principles sufficient to ensure that negative
impacts are minimized and risks avoided?
• To what extent do such policy frameworks offer an alternative for further negotiations of higher
education within GATS?
• Who must be involved in developing policies, strategies or action plans for managing higher edu-
12 cation across borders?
2. The International Conference
Many aspects of cross-border education are well-known and form part of an old tradition of inter-
national academic cooperation, of research collaboration and capacity building to fill gaps or lacu-
nae in partner institutions. Often, cross-border education is at the heart of institutional efforts to
internationalise by increasing two-way mobility of students and faculty, by setting up joint teaching
and research programs etc. Frequently though, cross-border education is developed outside the
institutional internationalisation strategies, and undertaken more for financial rather than acade-
mic reasons and by institutions that do not share the same commitment to partnership and colla-
boration. At times, cross-border education providers may serve to attract faculty members with
better conditions and salaries, but do so at the expense of local, public education. In situations of
unmet demand for access to higher education, cross-border education can offer the answers, but it
can also exacerbate already difficult conditions and even undermine national development or
linguistic policies.
PA R T II. P R I M E R
During the International Conference open to all institutions and other stakeholders of higher edu-
cation, participants will consider issues and questions that have to do with the optimal conditions
under which cross-border education offers solutions to real problems and what types of cross-border
provision are most appropriate in what contexts. Among the questions that will be addressed
during the Conference by speakers and in Working Groups are:
• Must cross border education fit into an institutional internationalisation strategy?
• How can cross-border education reconcile academic excellence, cost recovery, mutuality of benefits
and competition?
• Who are the stakeholders that need to be involved in developing a cross border education strategy
for the institution, for the country?
• Can the principles in the ‘Sharing Quality Cross-border Education’ Statement be adopted and applied
at the institutional level? Can and should they be monitored?
• How can the recommendations of the OECD/UNESCO guidelines be implemented and
monitored?
• In what ways are Statements and Guidelines, or other soft law instruments, more appropriate in
the area of higher education and to what extent can they be a substitute to trade agreements?
• Can we, and if so how, avoid the polarisation of the debate between the proponents of regula-
tion by policy frameworks and those in favour of economic liberalism where market and trade
regimes set the rules?
IAU is convinced that associations of universities at all levels, together with pro-active, well-infor-
med and mobilized institutions of higher education, can play an important role in ensuring that
university leadership, students, policy-makers and other stakeholders are aware of the importance
of these questions, make sense of the trends, and develop informed policy and programs to ensure
that cross-border education remains a positive development in the years to come. In Alexandria,
IAU invites participants to play an active role in moving the academic community forward from
policy statements, declarations and guidelines towards specific strategies and actions that can be
adopted and implemented at the institutional and organizational levels.
