Summary
|
Access, equity and capacity are elements within the higher education environment that interact in complex ways to affect virtually all other aspects of such institutions. This volume examines various features of how these concepts are generated, transformed throughout policy environments, and deployed across the complex differences of higher education in ten countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. The book's contributors assert that at virtually every turn issues of quality are deeply implicated with how these three dimensions occur within these diverse institutional environments. |

Review
"Higher education is growing most rapidly in the Asia-Pacific region, and thus university people as well as policy makers are facing the difficult task of balancing quality and quantity. This book will help readers understand the current situation of higher education not only in the Asia-Pacific region but everywhere that they may work." —Shinichi Yamamoto, Hiroshima University
