The New Face of Educational Competition

May 07, 2011 by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at 08:35 AM

This week’s The Economist has an interesting article on Malaysia’s plans to become an Asian hub for Western education. In a nutshell, Malaysia has managed to get a number of prestigious Western schools and universities to come and set up branch campuses there. These new educational institutions will turn out hundreds of thousands of very well educated, English-speaking graduates.

This is the new face of competition in a global world. Not only will the educational institutions be competing with one another - and with educational institutions all over the world, but also their graduates will be competing in a very real way with other graduates all around the world. May the fittest survive!
