  • Redefining and Reprioritising the Asia Ireland Higher Education Partnership in a Post Covid-19 World
    Redefining and Reprioritising the Asia Ireland Higher Education Partnership in a Post Covid-19 World Policy Report to Simon Harris T.D., Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science by the Asia Matters Expert Member Working Group on Higher Education, Research and Global Talent 02 AsiaMatters 1. Background and terms of reference Further to a meeting of key stakeholders in June 2017, Asia Matters established a working group with a remit to further the development of the Asia Ireland Higher Education Partnership. This report is the outcome of the presentations and discussions of the expert member working group and Asia Matters offers it as a contribution to the development of the next national strategy for international education when the current strategy ends in 2020. See terms of reference along with contributors in appendices. AsiaMatters 03 04 AsiaMatters 2. Context From the first discussions, there were clear objectives established to focus the work of the expert member group: • Given the increasingly pivotal role of Asia globally, Ireland must expand beyond the legacy comfort zone of the Anglo world countries and Europe to equally embrace Asia. In essence, there is a need for redefining and reprioritising the Asia Ireland Higher Education Partnership • True partnership from Ireland with Asia has to progress beyond the focus on revenue from Asian students but instead develop a more sustainable and mutually supportive relationship based on joint programmes, shared research, staff exchange and mutual student mobility. • Ireland should establish greater brand recognition for quality higher education among students in Asia • Irish students need to become more Asia competent and develop strongerunderstanding regarding the global importance of Asia in their future careers.
