Global Horizons - The Australian International Education PodcastBetty Leask - A Most Unlikely International EducatorWhen I sat down to chat with industry legend, Dr Betty Leask, I wasn't expecting the first thing for her to say that she really shouldn't have ended up in international education at all.
Wait, sorry, what?
But as the conversation unfolded, it turned out to be quite true: Betty's really is a most unlikely international educator!
Which seems a strange thing to say about the editor of the Journal of Studies in International Education, chair of the Council on Australia-Latin America Relations (COALAR...2024-04-2438 min

Asian Education PodcastSeason 1 Episode 9
In this episode, Edward Vickers talks to Professor Fazal Rizvi of the University of Melbourne about his recent involvement in recent education reform initiatives in the Kingdom of Bhutan. Famous internationally for its espousal of the ‘Gross Happiness Index’ in place of the conventional notion of GDP, Bhutan is otherwise relatively little understood or researched by outsiders (in part due to stringent controls on access for tourism or leisure travel). But in 2021, Professor Rizvi was invited by counterparts in Bhutan to advise or consult on reforms being pursued by the government there. In this interview, he reflects on his expe...2023-06-151h 05

FreshEdFreshEd #69 – Elite Schools in Globalizing Circumstances (Debbie Epstein)Have you ever visited schools like Eton College in the United Kingdom, St. Albans in the United States, or Geelong Grammar School in Australia? Maybe you were among the lucky few to have attended one. These schools are primarily reserved for children from the most privileged families, members of the 1 percent, as we would say today. The schools are steeped in tradition, covered in oak and ivy, and cost a small fortune to attend. The fees at St. Albans, for instance, run as high as $58,000 USD. For that price, it’s no wonder that these schools offer some of the be...2017-04-1747 min

Many students easily move across boarders to learn outside of their home country. Branch campuses by Western universities are popping up around the world.

But can the phenomenon of international education exist within sites where there these practices don’t clearly exists?

FreshEdFreshEd #9 - Fazal RizviConsider this opening paragraph to an article in University World News early this year:
Many Asian countries have been setting ambitious goals to expand and improve their higher education sectors to respond to their growing aspirational middle class and as a result are on the way to catching up with and even overtaking the best higher education systems of the West.
Indeed, the Institute of International Education’s latest report on global education research entitled “Asia: The next higher education superpower?” finds that the total number of universities and tertiary graduates in Asia outnumber those in North America and Europe.
