The so-called internationalization of education refers to the international allocation of educational resources, the accelerated flow of educational elements, the increasingly frequent international educational exchanges and cooperation, the increasing degree of mutual influence and interdependence among countries in the world, and the educational exchanges, competitions, mutual tolerance and mutual agitation among countries under the premise of the opening of the international educational trade market, so as to jointly promote the prosperity and development of the world. Countries should not only meet the requirements of their own localization, but also adapt to the new situation of international economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, such as industrial division of labor and trade complementarity, in terms of the determination of personnel training objectives, the choice of educational content and the adoption of educational means and methods. In the final analysis, the core or essence of education internationalization is that under the background of economic globalization and trade liberalization, all countries want to make full use of both domestic and international education markets, optimize the allocation of their own educational resources and elements, seize the commanding heights of world education, cultivate high-quality talents with international competitiveness, and serve their highest interests. As we all know, in the era of knowledge economy, the competition of national comprehensive strength is, in the final analysis, the competition of talents. Whoever has a large number of talents with high quality, innovative spirit and innovative ability will be able to grasp the initiative of social and economic development and be invincible in the fierce competition. Therefore, the ultimate goal of education internationalization is to cultivate talents with international awareness, international communication ability and international competitiveness, so that such talents can stand on their own feet, look at the world and actively participate in international competition.
What is the internationalization of education? Or what is the connotation of educational internationalization? We very much agree with the view that the so-called internationalization of education means grasping and developing education from an international perspective.
