  • Assessing Hong Kong's Blueprint for Internationalising Higher Education1
    The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, 2012, 11(2), 81–102 ISSN 1443-1475 © 2012 www.iejcomparative.org Assessing Hong Kong’s blueprint for internationalising higher education1 David Skidmore Drake University This paper provides a critical assessment of the key recommendations for internationalising higher education in Hong Kong issued by the University Grants Committee in December 2010. Key topics include the rationale for internationalisation, the process by which internationalisation will be carried out, the proposal that Hong Kong aspire to become a regional “education hub,” the roles of English, Cantonese and Putongua in instruction and the impact of internationalisation on curriculum reform and student learning. In general, the report represents a missed opportunity to provide clear and compelling guidance to the university sector in Hong Kong regarding internationalisation. [Key words: internationalisation, globalisation, curriculum, Hong Kong] The internationalisation of higher education in Hong Kong has been quietly building steam at some institutions for more than a decade but has recently received new impetus and high-level attention. Internationalisation was the central focus of the report Aspirations for the higher education system in Hong Kong issued by the University Grants Committee (UGC) in December 2010 (UGC, 2010). The report recommended actions by the Hong Kong government and UGC-supported institutions of higher education in support of internationalisation. This article provides a critical assessment of relevant sections of the UGC report and its recommendations. While the spotlight that the UGC places on internationalisation is laudable, the approach suggested by its report is flawed. In particular, the UGC envisions a relatively top-down internationalisation process that threatens to stifle bottom-up innovation and choke off diversity at the level of individual institutions.
