International Higher education Forum

In recent years，the role of higher education as a ‘public good’ has been stressed，partly because ａ strong orientation towards privatization and marketization renders the public aspect of higher，education increasingly volatile. The financial crises of 2008 underscored the need for global level collaboration to establish a concrete vision for a sustainable future through multi-polar linkages and dialogues. In this forum, a global framework and perspectives of regions and stakeholders for the future vision of higher education as a publlc good will be discussed．
