Event Details
The pandemic and changing policies towards China have presented particular challenges to trans-national higher education in China. The event will address potential effects over the near to mid-term through discussion at the sector wide level, with some illustrative case studies.
Professor Sue Welburn ZJE and Professor Laura Bishop SBC-USST are both experienced in navigating the complex territory of Sino-British higher education. They will speak about the opportunities for adding value to the educational environments of both countries which are available to partners in these cooperative ventures. They will also discuss how the changing needs and priorities of the Chinese Ministry of Education have manifested themselves via alterations in policy and strategy. The different models for cooperation which are currently active and the differing approaches taken by some provinces will also be discussed.
