Week 9 - Percy Yan

In the article "Issues in Transnational Higher Education Regulation in Vietnam" by George Nguyen and Anna Shillabeer, the expansion of western education into many Asian countries has raised concerns about maintaining the quality of higher education as compared to the home location and complying with quality requirements in the destination location. This article talks about Vietnam's significant transnational education influx from the West. There are three major types of transnational education. They are People mobility-based education, Program mobility-based education and Institution mobility-based education. People mobility-based education is where students or academics travel for teaching and studying. Program mobility-based education involves the mobility of educational programs and curricula via e-learning or education partnerships with joint courses and join curricula. Institution mobility-based education is the mobility of the institution moving across borders to set up a campus abroad. The delivery is diversified and may include franchising, program articulation, branch campuses, off-shore institutions, corporate universities, international institutions, distance learning and virtual universities.
