Opportunities
Globalization, improvements in information technology and communication, and
increased competition in higher education are the main forces which play a
critical role in higher education around the world. In today's world,
globalization is rapidly increasing, bringing with it expanded personal
mobility; access to knowledge across borders; increased demand for higher
education (including e-learning), especially in developing countries; growing
worldwide investment; and increased needs for adult and continuing education. As
a result, the opportunities and capacities to expand the market for higher
education have also increased tremendously. That growth will continue even more
rapidly over the next few years. The rapid worldwide expansion of new
information technology, improvements in communications technology and the
reduced cost of much of this technology have spawned a major expansion in its
application to education which holds promise for reaching populations that could
not be served by traditional education institutions. Besides, competition in
higher education has increased markedly in recent years as policy makers turn to
market forces to reform higher education and cut costs. Competition from foreign
institutions is of special concern to education institutes in developing
nations.
