By Angela Yung Chi Hou Room 208
Appendix 2 Group Presentation APEC Higher Education Summit: A New Balance between Globalization, Regionalization, and Localization in competitive higher education after COVID-19 pandemic (2023/ 11/ 11 )
Globalization in higher education has been a common trend in the 21st Century. Some education problems which originated from the various conceptions of the notion of globalization lead many educators and academic staffs to consider the reconstruction of core curriculum, personnel hiring and resource allocation. Besides, higher education also faces tension between localization and internationalization under the impact of global college rankings. However, high technology becomes a tool which is able to initiate innovative teaching strategies and change the interactive relationship between faculty and students. Distance education which could be regarded as a new production under the great development of technological education poses a great impact on academic localization. Due to the keen competition in higher education, many institutions are heading to the development of a cyber university, of, you bet, there is no exception for Asian higher education systems. However, a paradox between maintenance of academic localization, regionalization and development of globalization in higher education has been initiated in the early 21st century. Asian higher education systems are facing the similar challenges inside and outside countries. As a representative of China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, HK, etc, you would like to share your views on the issue and propose an initiative, which will enhance the quality of Asian higher education and strengthen harmonization with the region.
