Advantages and disadvantages of transnational education;

First, advantages:

1. Transnational education contributes to the development of local technology, and at the same time can reduce the capital outflow, brain drain and the pressure of local education. It provides more choices for students, and also provides opportunities for competition and development for foreign universities and local universities, so its quality will be gradually improved. Students can receive education without leaving their motherland or region, thus reducing the brain drain in developing countries.

2. Transnational education gives professionals the opportunity to improve their academic qualifications through the local education system during their work, so that they can obtain their academic qualifications without leaving their country of residence and jobs.

Second, the shortcomings:

Transnational education also has its negative effects. The development path of internationalization of Asian higher education clearly shows the strong desire of Asian countries to be more international. Some researchers are worried about the excessive westernization of Asian native culture, language and tradition. In order to avoid excessive westernization, Asian universities need academic exchanges and international research cooperation in Asia.

Reproduce Asia's academic achievements, unique values, traditions and culture.

Forms of transnational education:

1, overseas campus

In the overseas branch school model, higher education institutions in exporting countries (source countries) set up branch schools in importing countries to provide courses and project services for students in importing countries. Compared with other modes, this mode can make the export institutions carry out educational activities more effectively.

2. Franchise or cooperative operation

Educational institutions in exporting countries authorize institutions or partners in importing countries to provide courses and projects. The certificate is issued by the institution of the exporting country. Teaching, management, evaluation, profit distribution and degree awarding are all carried out in accordance with the laws and policies of importing and exporting countries. In most cases, academics from exporting countries will visit cooperative institutions in importing countries to provide short-term intensive lectures.

3. Cohesion

Institutions of exporting countries recognize courses or projects designated by institutions of importing countries. This model requires the institutions in the exporting country to cooperate with the providers in the importing country to work out a bridging plan, allowing students to study some courses in the relevant institutions in their home country, and then transfer the credits to the learning programs of the institutions in the exporting country. Generally speaking, the certificate is issued by the institution of the exporting country.

4. Distance/Virtual Education

Under the distance/virtual education service mode, courses and projects will be provided by TV, radio, computer, Internet, video conference, Skype, Lectopia, virtual blackboard, communication or other means at home and abroad. All students can register directly anywhere in the exporting country.

Step 5 study abroad

In this mode, students from educational institutions in one country go to educational institutions in another country for a fixed period of time and get a degree. According to this setting, after students complete the course, the completed course is recognized by their own institutions. This environment enables students to contact and experience different cultures, languages and lifestyles.
