- Title
POLICY'S CONSEQUENCES: THE COMMERCIALISATION OF AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY EDUCATION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ITS ASIAN MARKET.
- Authors

- Abstract
Higher education has in the recent decade become in itself a major business. In some economies, it is an important contributor to the gross national product. This fact is true in the case of Australia. This paper discusses the commercialisation of Australian higher education in Asia and how Australian government policy has contributed to this internationalisation. In addition to addressing the policy consequences, it also examines issues surrounding the content, curricula and teaching in the programmes that are exported. Whilst the internationalisation of higher education may have led to the presence of an enterprising culture in the exporting institutions, the higher ideals of education need to be balanced.
