The article "Issues in Transnational Higher Education Regulation in Vietnam" by George Nguyen and Anna Shillabeer reveals concerns that has been raised by the expansion of western education into various Asian countries including Vietnam. There are many different models of international investment and involvement in education. The three major types are People mobility-based education, Program mobility-based education, and Institution mobility-based education. Though all three models exist in Vietnam, people and institution based are more prevalent throughout the country. 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 educational partnerships with joint courses. Institution mobility-based education is the mobility of the institution moving across borders to set up a campus abroad. Vietnam is a relatively new player in the TNE space and is still developing capability to deliver western style education programs. There is not always a sufficiently strong language capacity in local academics. Most students in Vietnam do not usually have the required English or other language skills and hence language training is usually a part of the university's student service provision for commencement.
