The OECD report discusses strategic policies that should be both initiated as well as kept up by the government and the institutions. The most up to date policies are focused on student mobility, international research and education as an import industry. The report also discusses how issues may arise when trying to implement and upkeep these policies things to do to be prepared for challenges. An eye-catching part of the report is the mentioning of the ICT implementation due to the rapid growth of the internet and web-based sharing. It is displayed as a positive as well as a negative aspect of international higher education model. It ties in very closely to ethics and values of information sharing as well as regulating ownership of ideas. Hence further displaying that it is important to have governments all over the world to come together on certain issues to make a global policy. Furthermore, the report also shines a light on how important it is to sustain the right professors with changing rules being moving the schools to another country and or ICT learning because they are the ones that will be providing knowledge for the new class of graduates.
Another reading suggests changes in higher education governance in Europe. This allows seeing changes that European higher education policies are facing. Discussing how higher education has shifted to a more buissness like managerial structure. There have been three identified models. The “market-oriented” model, “state-centered model” and “academic self-rule model”. Each model displays their own self intrests. All this just seems to show that higher education, as well as internationalization, is skewing to a more business perspective. At the end of the day the OECD report as well as cross- country comparison of higher education is showing that the higher education system is becoming more business-like. According to Times magazine, this is not a new phenomenon. Dating back to the 1970s policy’s makers began to view higher education as a private good than a public good that will help the nation as a whole. Hence, the report for education showing a more managerial structure is not new because the education system is being treated as well as run technically like a corporation.
