Nguyen and Shillabeer's "Issues in Transnational Higher Education Regulation in Vietnam," the two authors speak on transnational higher education in the context of Vietnamese students. The transnational component is actually increasingly desired as students are even beginning to pay premiums for educations that teach them english, a desirable trait that propels them in the work force. But understanding transnational education is actually more complex than one may think. There's different types of transnational higher education and within that there's a number of regulatory models that dictate how TNE (transnational education) comes into play within different countries. In Vietnam specifically, they employ a moderately liberal model regulatory model. Using this model, foreign institutions must adhere to a few standards set out by the hosting country.
To me this seems to be a good model to both expose students to skills that could extremely broaden their range of opportunities. More importantly, Vietnam uses these regulations to ensure that foreign institutions are also taking part in programs/projects that give back to the hosting country. I think following this model in my own startup project could be extremely effective in creating a better education system within the Philippines as well as create more opportunities for the transnational skills that so many learn to use abroad, and instead use those skills within the Philippines.
