International education: the new global enterprise?

8 December 2006 - 09:30

Brain drain or brain gain - what are the implications of international student flows? Should there be some form of control?

Will the evolution of international higher education result in the ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor - both between and within countries?

Public or private good - what are the implications for international education as increasingly
more private providers usurp the dominant role of the state?

Jonathan Dimbleby (ITV and Radio 4) hosts this Any questions? style panel discussion on the issues currently affecting the international education community - issues that are certain to be at the centre of the debate over the years to come. The panel will bring together top professionals and policy-makers from organisations around the world
