Janjua* and Bashir A. Fida**  \nAbstract  \nThis paper studies the globalization of higher education in context of Pakistan. Pakistan is following the policy of internationalization of higher education that gained momentum since 2002 after the formation of HEC. The outbound ratio of students is increasing with a fast pace. However, the inflow of international students is becoming vital. Pakistan can attract international students by following a precise strategic plan that can exert a positive impact on the economy as well. The aim of this study is to provide a policy framework for the inflow of international students in Pakistan.  \nKeywords: Internationalization, higher education, pakistan  \n* Assistant professors at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan [Email: mzakaria80@hotmail.com](Email: mzakaria80@hotmail.com)  \n** Assistant professor at Modern College of Business and Science (MCBS), Muscat, Oman.  \nIntroduction  \nUNESCO (2006) defines internationalization of education as “It is higher education that takes place in situations where the teacher, student, program, institution or provider and course materials become cross-national. The cross-border education may include higher education by public, private, not-for-profit and forprofit providers. It encompasses a wide range of modalities in a continuum from in person (students traveling abroad and having campuses abroad) to distance learning (using technologies and including e-learning) .” In simple words, internationalization is a way of introducing an international outlook into education.  \nIn the contemporary world, globalization has become a revolutionary development in higher education. It has become an important part of national trade policies. It creates financial resources to academic institutions and spurs growth in economies. It brings intelligent students from different parts of the world and offers an opportunity to improve diplomatic relations with other economies. The overall demand for international education and professional training is increasing in most of the countries. The annual report published by UNESCO (2012) shows that the international movement of students has increased from 2.1 million to 3.4 million students from 2002 to 2010. Several factors have contributed to this, for instance, development of information technology, population growth, desire for higher education, etc. With this increased demand of higher education, the ability of domestic educational institutions to attract foreign students is entailed. Several countries are designing different policies to internationalize the education and to attract as many international students as possible. To recruit international students, domestic universities must meet the international educational standards since the students have to compete internationally and are expected to solve problems from multiple perspectives.  \nThe rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2discusses various types of international education. Section 3explains the issues related to the quality of internationalization in higher education. Section 4 focuses on higher education in Pakistan. Section 5 sheds some light on internationalization of higher education in Pakistan. Section 6 suggests some strategic and policy framework for internationalization of higher education in Pakistan. The final section concludes the paper.  \nTypes of International Education  \nThere are mainly two types of international education. First, students do not leave their home countries and receive international education through distance learning. It offers convenient flexible way to get degrees. Instead of attending on campus classes, the students can participate in courses such as hybrid and online courses, through television, and also the print based courses.  \nSecond type of international education focuses in cam","cbCaipQ6lMYXUU7z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipQ6lMYXUU7z","pdf",303103,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Types of International Education\n## Franchise\n## Dual degree\n## Distance education\n## Articulation\n# Quality Concerns in Internationalization of Higher Education\n# Internationalization of Higher Education in Pakistan\n# Strategic and Policy Framework","[{\"question\":\"What is the paper’s main focus regarding Pakistan’s higher education system?\",\"answer\":\"The paper examines how internationalization and globalization affect higher education in Pakistan and how inbound international students can be increased through policy.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper emphasize attracting international students to Pakistan?\",\"answer\":\"It states that the inflow of international students is becoming vital and that proper strategy for recruitment can have a positive economic impact.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of international education does the paper describe?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines two major types: distance-learning international education and campus-based cross-border study, including franchise, dual degrees, distance education, and articulation models.\"}]","Internationalization of Higher Education - Trends and Policies in Pakistan | PDF",1792082019,35]
