  • Seameo Retrac
    Welcome Remarks Welcome Remarks by Dr. Ho Thanh My Phuong, Director SEAMEO Regional Training Center (SEAMEO RETRAC) Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my great pleasure, on behalf of SEAMEO RETRAC, to welcome all of you to this International Conference on “Impacts of Globalization on Quality in Higher Education”. I am really delighted with the attendance of more than 150 educational leaders, administrators, professors, educational experts, researchers and practitioners from both Vietnamese and international universities, colleges and other educational organizations. You are here to share your expertise, experience, research findings and best practices on three emerging issues (1) Management and Leadership in Higher Education; (2) Teaching and Learning in Higher Education; and (3) Institutional Research Capacity and Application. In view of the major challenges in the era of globalization in the 21st century and the lessons learned during the educational reforms taking place in many countries, these topics are indeed important ones. It is without a doubt that education quality, particularly of higher education, plays a crucial role in the development of the human resources of a nation. Higher Education provides a strong foundation to uplift the prospects of our people to participate and take full advantage of the opportunities in Southeast Asia and beyond. Along this line, the impact of the globalization in the development of a quality educational system has to be emphasized. It is becoming increasingly important for global educational experts to get together to identify what should be done to enhance and strengthen the higher education quality, especially in the globalized context. It has become more imperative than ever for higher education to prepare students to meet the dynamic challenges of the globalized world.

Romero Vice President, UNESCO-APNIEVE Philippines Philippine Normal University WHAT MAKES A UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL? “it is the presence of a clear institution-wide positive attitude toward understanding better other cultures and societies, learning more about the political and economic interconnectedness of humankind, a genuine interest in interacting with representatives of these other cultures and societies, a genuine desire to understand the major issues confronting the human and ecological survival of planet earth and to learn how to cooperate with others across national and cultural boundaries in seeking solutions to world problems, irrespective of one’s own academic course of studies, career, profession or station in life. Where such a positive international institutional attitude exists, it inevitably translates itself gradually in the curriculum and the overall university ‘international/intercultural ethos.” Maurice Harari (1997) International Association of University Presidents “ Internationalization of higher education is the process of integrating an international/intercultural dimension into the teaching, research and service functions of the institution.” Jane Knight (1999) The main purpose of the internationalization of higher education is: “ to produce graduates who have the ability to be an active part in a globalized society, able to communicate
