What is solution for higher education in Asia?

The higher education systems in Asia, Latin America and Africa prominent similarities to those in Europe. Historically, adopted Latin America, notably in Southeast Asia, and Africa on the system to provide settlers also a lot of funding, teachers, and ideologies in higher education at some point in history. A clear impose colonial masters, much of the language in Latin America that use Spanish usage, in Asia and Africa English to French. The American higher education became more powerful after the start of the twentieth century as the main stress research university. Otherwise, the American system the first introduction of the massification of education adopted by many countries worldwide. Higher education institutions now put emphasis on mass higher education, as a result of increased access to higher education.

Of course, the emerging countries in urgent need of a forum to discuss possible models for higher education for the South, particularly the Commonwealth countries where a majority of one billion live up. Countries from the South, especially in Asian countries to adapt models from Europe and the United States for years, they ran from the adoption of voluntary or influenced by external factors. Instead of borrowing from Western models and put them to try, go through the whole process of testing methods, and experiments, the same amount of time and effort used to assess the feasibility of determining model to connect the south south. The model consists of elements of the area, still looking for the cultural values ​​and wise. Globalisation should not and internationalization of higher education to take the cost of local knowledge.

In particular, the efforts do not detach themselves from the clutches of the new model dominating the West as evidenced by implementation of national languages ​​in higher education through Malaysia and Indonesia. However, the basic model is practiced in Asian countries is still biased towards the European model / American. This factor contributed to the marginal status of Asian institutions of higher education and the rapid globalization, it would be the so-called institutions of higher education in central Europe / USA is still dominant, especially in the context of the internationalization of higher education. In fact, Malaysia has recently started to embrace the English language after many years of experimenting with the Malay language as the language of instruction in public higher education institutions. How to get there Asia / indigenous development models for higher education?
The Asian model in mind we are deeply rooted in the belief that even within the framework of the globalization process by each individual country, it provides sufficient reason to relook and rethink higher education system is heavily biased to the European model / American . Can the current educational model adopted by many countries in the South, are characterized by Western ideologies tailored to fit local needs, but what works so far adapted to the new need to improve the circumstances of each country needs to do reflection. It was not a time when the face of higher education in the South and more opportunities than challenges the current economic downturn global presence. We are in urgent need of models that can handle the unique situation in Asia in terms of quality and accountability and funding mechanism to reduced public funding. On this date answers to these challenges in a European character / American: corporatisation / privatization of higher education, higher education management based on the entrepreneurial approach, competition within the higher education sector and the likely rise higher as commodities. Can the key issues mentioned above to be under one umbrella in the world of higher education, but a closer inspection would have different content for different regions are subject to social, political pressure, economic and national expression.
Proves the accuracy of the growth paths of the existing system of higher education, led the European model / American challenge of how long the current model is based on South-South relations, one that has some differences from those in the north. Basically, you might want to look at the world ranking system of universities and the idea of ​​world class universities, as recommended by the North more than the number of concepts or attempt to standardize the university rather than to the various aspects of each university respected within their national socio-political context.
