Higher Education in Southeast Asia by Anthony Welch

Higher Education in Southeast Asia by Anthony Welch

This is the first book to systematically chart and comparatively assess the trend towards private higher education in Southeast Asia. It includes a substantial analysis of key policy issues, as well as detailed case studies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam.

"The individual chapters on different countries are excellent as stand-alone case studiesWhen they are taken together, however, we have a superb book by one of the region’s best scholars. Welch has written an engaging book in a provocative style that will be of interest not only to Southeast Asian scholars but also to anyone concerned about tertiary education in the 21st century." William G. Tierney, Professor & Wilbur Kieffer Professor of Higher Education and Director of the Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis, University of Southern California, USA.

"Southeast Asia has rapidly developing higher education systems, yet it is not well known worldwide. This book provides a welcome perspective on this region, including issues of privatisation, internationalisation, governance and corruption." Philip G. Altbach,
Monan University Professor, Boston College, USA.

Anthony Welch is a policy specialist at the University of Sydney, Australia. He specialises in international higher education research.
