Ten Years of Changes And Challenges in Higher Education

Today University World News celebrates its 500th edition, a major landmark, by asking its correspondents and commentators around the world to focus on the most significant change or challenge facing their country or region in the 10 years since our first edition in October 2007, or the one that they think will have the most impact in the 10 years ahead.

The outcome is a unique Special Report highlighting some of the major changes and challenges in higher education worldwide.

Jane Knight says the bright future of higher education internationalisation rests on growing and sustaining collaboration, reciprocity and mutual benefits among nations, and shifting international student recruitment patterns are but one dimension of internationalisation. Also focusing on the global picture, Patrick Blessinger and Hans de Wit hail academic freedom as essential to democracy and highlight some of the new and complex threats to academic freedom, including from nationalist-populist trends, social media and fake news.
