本文探讨了高等教育的国际化,特别强调了其需求方面。它突出了学生流动选择的主导重点,而不是更广泛的经济和文化影响。虽然感知的教育中心和学习后签证的可用性是关键因素,但社会关系在学生移民中也起着重要作用。使用Findlay(2011)对需求侧移民的见解,我们强调全球高等教育产品背后的财务动机。这项研究独特地结合了国际化与获得高等教育在全球南方的话语。我们强调国际远程教育(IDE)作为一种未被充分研究但关键的国际化模式。专注于非洲,特别是尼日利亚,津巴布韦和纳米比亚,我们调查的IDE在南非大学(UNISA)不断增长的需求。该文件强调,虽然很多注意力都集中在重新安置学生上,但流动性选择也与入学挑战密切相关。IDE既是一种商品,也是这些访问问题的创新解决方案。该研究最后倡导重新设想全球对高等教育的责任。
This paper explores the internationalisation of higher education, particularly emphasizing its demand side. It highlights the predominant focus on student mobility choices rather than broader economic and cultural influences. While perceived educational hubs and post-study visa availabilities are crucial factors, social connections also play a significant role in student migration. Using Findlay’s (2011) insight into demand side migration, we emphasize the financial motivations behind global higher education offerings. This study uniquely combines the discourse on internationalisation with access to higher education in the global South. We spotlight international distance education (IDE) as an understudied yet pivotal mode of internationalisation. Focusing on Africa—specifically Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Namibia—we investigate the rising demand for IDE at the University of South Africa (UNISA). The paper underscores that while much attention is on relocating students, mobility choices are also deeply intertwined with access challenges. IDE is framed both as a commodity and an innovative solution to these access problems. The study concludes by advocating for a re-envisioned global responsibility towards higher-education access.)
