intended to orient participants to the
overall conceptual focus of the institute.
Participant Introductions—This session
provides an opportunity for participants to
introduce themselves and say some initial
things about their interests and what they
hope to get out of the institute.
Work on setting up country reports—We
will ask participants to make two
presentations to the group. The first is to
provide a brief introduction to the “state”
of higher education in their country. The
second is a final presentation due on the
last day of the institute. The instructions
relate to this activity.
Global Interdependence and Higher
Education—This section introduces
globalization as a process and begins the
examination of how globalization is
affecting all of higher education.

Country Presentations
The object of this exercise is to allow each country group of participants to provide some information and insight into higher education
issues for the benefit of the whole group. Higher education in all of these countries is a complex and complicated affair and we do not
expect that in 15 minutes a comprehensive or exhaustive presentation could be made.
7
We suggest that when preparing these presentations you seek to cover the following points.
1. Provide some illustrative data. For example: how many students are engaged in higher education? How many degrees are granted each
year, at which levels? Approximately how many researchers and faculty are working at how many institutions?
2. Very briefly, how are HEI’s organized and regulated? (For example, how many in the private sector? How many in the public sector? In
very simple terms, what is the regulatory framework for each?)
3. What kinds of processes and mechanisms are in place pursuing quality and quality assessment in higher education?
4. In general, what are the major issues facing higher education in your country?
5. Are there major policy initiatives being proposed to deal with such issues, and if so, what are they?
