Technology has helped spur the globalization of the world and with it, the realization that building a safe, fair, thriving planet is the responsibility of all. In April this year, a BBC World Service poll of over 20,000 people in 18 countries found that over half of the respondents from emerging economies identified themselves as global rather than national citizens. 【F1】Thus, it is important that new generations have access to education that emphasizes this global-centric outlook to promote a more interconnected international community. The fast-developing Asian higher education sector, in particular, is uniquely placed to offer a global experience. Diversity is one of the strong selling points here as the continent of Asia comprises 48 countries, all with distinct cultures and traditions. 【F2】When foreign students from other regions are added into the mix, this results in a wildly diverse student body that exposes individuals to different opinions and schools of thought, which helps to promote greater understanding and acceptance overall. With Asia's growing prominence, being able to speak some of the region's common languages is considered a distinct advantage. Many students choose to immerse themselves in Asian countries to pick up cultural nuances and improve their fluency while studying. The majority of the "emerging economies that will shine this year" as tapped by Forbes are Southeast Asian countries. 【F3】Therefore, students of their universities will gain a unique insider's perspective of their policies, trends and issues, which will give graduates an advantage when it comes to job hunting. The relatively low tuition fees in Asia are also a main draw for prospective students. However, cheaper fares do not translate to a lower quality of education in Asia. 【F4】Given that many Asian universities are fairly new, this suggests that a significant, accelerated effort is being made through government investment and policymaking to bring the institutions to an internationally competitive level —and it is paying off. In fact, besides affordable living and tuition expenses, Asian countries are sweetening the deal for eastbound foreign students by offering a variety of funding opportunities such as scholarships, as well as value-for-money exchange programs—some of which even provide a monthly allowance. This courting of foreign talent extends to the teaching staff as well. 【F5】A "global competition for talent" is emerging between Asian countries when it comes to institutions of higher learning. This is particularly noticeable in the science field as they aggressively recruit Western-trained researchers, scientists and professors—including local scholars who were educated abroad—to help inject dynamism into their education sector, improving their prestige and with it, their bid to become a higher education hub.
