Abstract: (778 Views)
This manuscript examines the historical and contemporary dynamics of International Higher Education (IHE) in Asia, with a particular focus on the integration of Western educational models and the development of unique regional educational identities. Through an in-depth analysis of key Asian economies including China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia, the study explores how these nations have balanced traditional values and Western influences to shape their educational policies and practices. Beginning with pivotal moments in the late 19th century and extending to the present day, the manuscript charts the transformation driven by globalization, technological advancements, and socio-economic shifts. Furthermore, the study addresses current trends such as heightened regional collaboration, increased student mobility, and the proliferation of English-taught programs. By offering insights into the strategic adaptations that have bolstered Asian countries' global educational stature, the research underscores implications for future policy-making and international cooperation in higher education. This comprehensive analysis aims to contribute a nuanced understanding of how Asian nations have navigated the complexities of integrating global and local educational dynamics, thereby offering valuable lessons for shaping the future landscape of international higher education.
