Cross-border education is a subset of educational internationalization and can be part of development cooperation projects, academic exchange programs and commercial initiatives. The focus of this volume is on the mobility of students, programs and providers/institutions. Student mobility remains relatively small, but has grown at an unprecedented pace in the past decade. The study concludes that cross-border tertiary education can be a helpful capacity development tool that countries and donor countries and agencies should consider in their development strategies. Finally, with the growth of trade in education services and the inclusion of the sector in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), countries and their education community should develop a better technical understanding of trade agreements. These agreements can be a tool in their capacity-building strategy, but the consequences and uncertainties of making certain commitments should be well understood. Whatever development strategy they chose, countries should consider whether cross-border tertiary education should be part of it, and if yes, how.All rights reservedACADEMIC COMMUNITYACADEMIC COURSESACADEMIC EXCHANGEACADEMIC MOBILITYACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONSACADEMIC QUALITYACADEMIC STANDARDSACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATIONACCESS TO QUALITY HIGHER EDUCATIONADDITIONASSOCIATE PROFESSORBASIC EDUCATIONBRAIN DRAINBUSINESS SCHOOLCALLCOLLEGESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMPLEXITYCONTINUING EDUCATIONCORPORATE UNIVERSITIESCOURSE CONTENTCOURSE DESIGNCOURSE WORKCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTDEGREESDEMAND FOR EDUCATIONDIASPORADISCIPLINESDISTANCE EDUCATIONDISTRIBUTION OF KNOWLEDGEDRAWINGEDUCATED PEOPLEEDUCATION ACTIVITIESEDUCATION DEPARTMENTEDUCATION INITIATIVESEDUCATION PERSONNELEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROVIDERSEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMESEDUCATIONAL RESEARCHEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEMPLOYMENTENROLMENT RATIOENROLMENT RATIOSFEE PAYING STUDENTSFEE-PAYING STUDENTSFOREIGN EDUCATIONFURTHER EDUCATIONHIGH ACADEMIC STANDARDSHIGH ENROLMENTSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITYHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONHIGHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIGHER EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIESHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMSHIGHER EDUCATION ­ OPPORTUNITIESHUMAN RESOURCESINCOME GENERATIONINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDINGINSTRUCTIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIESINTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONINTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATIONINTERNATIONAL STUDENTSINTERNSHIPSKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYKNOWLEDGE PRODUCTIONKNOWLEDGE SOCIETIESKNOWLEDGE SOCIETYLABOUR MARKETLANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTIONLEARNINGLEARNING ASSESSMENTSLIFELONG LEARNINGLINGUISTIC ENVIRONMENTLOCAL TERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSNATIONAL ACCREDITATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEMNUMBER OF STUDENTSPARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONPOST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONPOST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONSPRINCIPALSPRIVATE EDUCATIONPRIVATE EDUCATION SECTORPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATIONPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE UNIVERSITYPROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROFESSIONAL MOBILITYPROFESSORSPROVIDERS OF EDUCATIONPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESPUBLISHERSQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY ASSURANCE AGENCIESQUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMSQUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONQUALITY STANDARDSRESEARCHERSSCHOLARSSCHOLARSHIPSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATESSELF STUDYSEMESTERSSKILLED HUMAN CAPITALSKILLED LABOURSTAFF DEVELOPMENTSTUDENT AIDSTUDENT EXCHANGESTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT MOBILITYSTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT RECRUITMENTSTUDY ABROADSTUDY CENTRESTEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTESTEACHINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION DEMANDTERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY EDUCATION POLICIESTERTIARY EDUCATION SYSTEMTERTIARY EDUCATION SYSTEMSTERTIARY LEVELTRADE IN EDUCATION SERVICESTRADITIONAL UNIVERSITIESTRAINING PROGRAMMESTUITIONTUITION FEESTYPES OF EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESVIRTUAL UNIVERSITIESWESTERN EUROPEWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/978-92-64-03363-4https://doi.org/10.1596/978-92-64-03363-4
