Developed jointly by UNESCO and OECD, the UNESCO/OECD Guidelines for Quality Provision address how to strengthen openness, collaboration and transparency while minimising fraud and opportunistic behaviour. A decade after OECD adoption, the report reviews implementation progress, identifies information and monitoring gaps, and outlines priorities for improving access to quality assurance processes and compliance.","Ensuring Quality in Cross-border Higher Education  \nimPlEmEnting tHE UnEsCO/OECD gUiDElinEs  \nEnsuring Quality in Cross-Border Higher Education  \nIMPLEMENTING THE UNESCO/OECD GUIDELINES  \nStéphan Vincent-Lancrin, Dara Fisher and Sebastian Pfotenhauer  \nThis work is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD.

International student mobility has more than doubled between 2000 and 2013 – and nearly quadrupled since 1990 . Crossborder higher education also increasingly takes different forms, with more and more students choosing to enrol in a foreign tertiary education institution or programme in their home country.  \nIn the past decade, many countries have designed explicit internationalisation policies for their higher education systems, acknowledging the benefits of international exposure to prepare students for a globalising economy as well as the many opportunities of cross-border mobility for innovation, improvement and capacity development in higher education and in the economy.  \nCases of fraud and opportunistic behaviour have shown that these promises come with risks for students and other tertiary education stakeholders though. It is precisely to help all stakeholders to minimise these risks and strengthen the dynamics of openness, collaboration and transparency across countries that UNESCO and OECD jointly developed the Guidelines for Quality Provision in Cross-Border Higher Education.  \nTen years after their adoption as a Recommendation by the OECD Council, it is encouraging to see that the recommended practices are largely implemented by","cbCaiiCi6D6m4hXQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiCi6D6m4hXQ","pdf",4001908,6,1,134,"English","en",105,"# Executive summary\n# Chapter 1.
