With strong intention to enhance the global competitiveness of their university systems, both the Singapore and Malaysia governments
have introduced reforms along the lines of ideas and practices embedded in neo-liberalism. In the last decade or so, we have
witnessed reforms being introduced to the higher education sectors in these Asian states, particularly when corporatization
and incorporation strategies are adopted to transform national/public universities. With particular reference to how academics
evaluate the impact of the reforms on their academic life, this article reports and analyses findings generated from campus
visits and field interviews conducted in Singapore and Malaysia from 2007 to 2009. Although the senior management of corporatized/incorporated
universities in these Asian states has been given more discretion to decide how to operate their universities, most of the
front line academics that we interviewed have not experienced major differences in university governance after the reforms
took place. Instead of feeling ‘emancipated’ and ‘empowered’, many academics feel more pressures and control from the university
administration and government ministries. Despite the fact that both the Singapore and Malaysia governments have tried to
embrace the ideas and practices of ‘neo-liberalism’ to transform university governance, academics still see the state’s reluctance
in withdrawing from steering/controlling higher education development. Such observations clearly reflect the ‘clash’ of two
major governance philosophies, namely, ‘state centralism’ and ‘neo-liberalism’. In short, this article critically examines
how far the proposed university governance reforms by adopting the corporatization/incorporation strategies have actually
transformed university management and academic life style in Singapore and Malaysia. 相似文献

“Countability not answerability?” Accountability in Hong Kong and Singapore universities 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Singapore and Hong Kong are vying to be the principal educational hub for the Asia-Pacific region and have begun to compete with Australia, Britain, Canada and the USA in providing cross-border education. Although these four Anglo-American countries still dominate cross-border education, Singapore and Hong Kong hope to make inroads into this export market and compete on the global stage. To create “world-class” universities, Singapore and Hong Kong have introduced quality assurance mechanisms, diversified funding sources, and restructured their university governance systems. This article compares the accountability measures introduced into Hong Kong and Singapore universities, and the responses of academics and administrators to these measures. The results indicate that both countries introduced greater autonomy as they augmented accountability for their universities, and the term “decentralised centralism” describes the kind of government control exerted in these Asian universities in the twenty-first century. 相似文献

In an era of rapid global economic and social change, educational institutions like schools and universities are struggling
to keep their curricula and programs relevant. Singapore’s schools are no exception, especially when education is viewed as
the essential element for maintaining the nation’s global competitiveness in ways that are totally disproportionate to its
size. The current shift from an ‘efficiency-’ to an ‘ability-’ driven paradigm in education, however, is increasing uncertainty
and raising the stakes in an already pressurized system where schools, educators and students constantly compete for top academic
awards and rewards. The concept of “partnership” in Singapore education is a significant, relatively new, trend that has caught
on among local schools only since the late-1990s, with the focus on creating better “total” learning environments for students.
This paper analyses the challenges of matching rhetoric with professional practice with regard to school–home partnerships
in Singapore, and concludes that the key to authentic collaboration lies in the mutual appreciation and valuing of diversity
as well as a deep sense of shared responsibility by all parties concerned. 相似文献

Dynamics of National and Global Competition in Higher Education 总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12
Simon Marginson 《Higher Education》2006,52(1):1-39
The paper explores the dynamics of competition in higher education. National competition and global competition are distinct,
but feed into each other. Higher education produces ‘positional goods’ (Hirsch 1976) that provide access to social prestige
and income-earning. Research universities aim to maximise their status as producers of positional goods. This status is a
function of student selectivity plus research performance. At system-level competition bifurcates between exclusivist elite
institutions that produce highly value positional goods, where demand always exceeds supply and expansion is constrained to
maximise status; and mass institutions (profit and non-profit) characterised by place-filling and expansion. Intermediate
universities are differentiated between these poles. In global competition, the networked open information environment has
facilitated (1) the emergence of a world-wide positional market of elite US/UK universities; and (2) the rapid development
of a commercial mass market led by UK and Australian universities. Global competition is vectored by research capacity. This
is dominated by English language, especially US universities, contributing to the pattern of asymmetrical resources and one-way
global flows. The paper uses Australia as its example of system segmentation and global/national interface. It closes by reflecting
on a more balanced global distribution of capacity. 相似文献

This article discusses the relationship between policy, research and practice in the Singapore education landscape in response
to Hargreaves and Shirley’s arguments of Fourth Way principles of educational change. Examples of recent policy developments
in Singapore are used to illustrate the interaction between judicial uses of research data and pragmatic knowledge of classroom
practices and stakeholders’ interest in policy formulation in Singapore. It is advocated that a key ingredient of the success
of Singapore’s education system is the unity of vision and mission of the people behind policy, research and practice. 相似文献

In China, the central government has released a series of key policy initiatives over the last twenty years to foster decentralisation
of control over higher education, giving prominence to discourses of increased autonomy for both universities and academics.
This article reports findings of an empirical study of changing autonomy in Chinese higher education and it focuses on the
effects of these key policy developments in two case study universities. This research was part of a larger study of new power
relationships emerging from changing policies on accountability and autonomy in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore, located
within a broader context of the impact of globalisation on higher education. The focus on the three regions was selected to
begin to redress a Western hegemony in such research. The larger study is premised on the principle that globalisation is
characterised by ongoing tensions between global commonalities and context-specific differences, and that it is important
not to gloss over the complex and often contradictory national and local mediations of “global” policy trends. 相似文献

This paper traces attempts by two ‘brand-name’ research universities to transnationalise: the US-based Johns Hopkins University,
and the University of New South Wales from Australia. Both endeavours were located in, and supported by, Singapore, a city–state
with knowledge economy aspirations. The paper explores the globalisation of the research university, and offers insights into
the regimes of value that are being assembled in, and through knowledge economies. Both institutions examined in this study
failed in their attempts ostensibly because of a lack of fit in goals and commitment. The paper also highlights the ethical
issues that frame the globalizing rationalities of research-intensive universities and developmental states seeking competitive
advantage in a neoliberalising environment. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis research investigated educational pathways into a Global Middle Class characterised by professional or managerial careers and cosmopolitan sensibilities. The focus was International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) alumni with upper-middle-class backgrounds at ‘world-class’ universities in Hong Kong. The first objective was to investigate if and how the education of IBDP alumni at Hong Kong universities shapes self-perceptions of cosmopolitan sensibilities, university experiences, and economic futures. The second objective was to investigate how the IBDP and Hong Kong universities offer an educational pathway for the existing Global Middle Class to reproduce their social position and for local families to enter the Global Middle Class. Interview findings illuminated how cosmopolitan sensibilities meant that the students may be well-positioned for careers and lifestyles of the Global Middle Class. Nevertheless, there were paradoxes of cosmopolitan sensibilities as the students perceived a lack of belonging to their universities and a disconnection with the local society. 相似文献

This article seeks to contribute to the existing scholarship on academic mobility in two ways. First, it brings together insights on academic mobility (aspirations, desperations) and higher education internationalisation to show how we may analytically organise these insights to shed light on the shifting global higher education landscape from an experiential perspective. Second, it provides fresh data on the ‘lived experiences’ of mobile faculty members based in an attractive academic destination outside of the traditional knowledge cores—Singapore. As a city state without any natural resources, Singapore has successfully transformed its economy into one that is knowledge-intensive based on combined efforts from grooming locals to recruiting foreign talents to shore up skilled manpower needs. These efforts are reflected in the university sector where Singapore’s comprehensive universities have consistently ranked high across many global university rankings. Using survey and interview data, I show how the mobility and immobility experiences of faculty based in Singapore have contributed to its making as a ‘sticky’ and ‘slippery’ academic destination. My contributions point to the need to integrate individual-level factors underpinning academic mobility decisions with systemic developments to better understand the changing global higher education landscape today.

Hargreaves and Shirley’s The Fourth Way offers a valuable framework for considering the challenges and dilemmas that confront
education change practitioners. In this article, I consider how well their framework fits the evolution and more recent changes
in Singapore education. History, context culture and aspirations are seen as providing for significant differences in the
Singapore education story. 相似文献

This article analyzes the content and format of the Overseas University Leadership Program organized by the National Academy of Education Administration in Beijing, China. Universities provide the country with scientific and technological expertise, pave the path to individual advancement, and are major economic engines. China's new mission is to transform a country with sufficient manpower resources into one with abundant talent resources (Zhou 2008). After the massive expansion that began in 1999, the rapid increase in enrollments and fast growth of universities transformed Chinese higher education from "elite education" to "mass education." As a result with the expansion, problems such as quality, funding, inadequate support facilities, unqualified academic staff, and graduate employment are gradually emerging. Since the 1990s, China has launched several projects, notably Project 211 and Project 985, to develop a tertiary education system of international stature with a select number of leading research universities and research centers of excellence. According to various World University Rankings (SJTU, Times, and others), most world-class universities are in North America and Western Europe; relatively fewer are in Japan, Australia, Hong Kong/China, New Zealand, and Singapore. Mainland China faces many challenges in building such world-class universities. 相似文献

The paper reviews Asia–Pacific higher education and university research, focusing principally on the “Confucian” education
nations Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong China, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam. Except for Vietnam, these systems exhibit a special
developmental dynamism—still playing out everywhere except Japan—and have created a distinctive model of higher education
more effective in some respects than systems in North America, the English-speaking world and Europe where the modern university
was incubated. The Confucian Model rests on four interdependent elements: (1) strong nation-state shaping of structures, funding
and priorities; (2) a tendency to universal tertiary participation, partly financed by growing levels of household funding
of tuition, sustained by a private duty, grounded in Confucian values, to invest in education; (3) “one chance” national examinations
that mediate social competition and university hierarchy and focus family commitments to education; (4) accelerated public
investment in research and “world-class’ universities. The Model has downsides for social equity in participation, and in
the potential for state interference in executive autonomy and academic creativity. But together with economic growth amid
low tax regimes, the Confucian Model enables these systems to move forward rapidly and simultaneously in relation to each
and all of mass tertiary participation, university quality, and research quantity and quality. 相似文献

The impact of the GATS on transnational tertiary education: Comparing experiences of New Zealand,Australia, Singapore and Malaysia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Christopher Ziguras 《The Australian Educational Researcher》2003,30(3):89-109
This paper examines the impact of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) on transnational
higher education in four countries: New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. The GATS is a multilateral agreement through
which WTO members commit to voluntary liberalisation of trade in services, including education. Transnational (or offshore)
education refers to education that is delivered by an institution based in one country to students located in a different
country. Two of the countries considered, New Zealand and Australia, have made commitments under GATS to allow relatively
unrestricted cross-border provision of education in their countries, while the other two countries, Singapore and Malaysia,
have made no such commitment. There is currently considerable activity in renegotiating countries’ commitments to GATS as
part of the Doha round of WTO negotiations, and simultaneously bilateral free trade agreements are being proposed between
countries in the region. In this context, this paper examines the practical impact that GATS has had on these two countries
that have made commitments regarding education, and the likely impact that similar commitments by Malaysia and Singapore would
have on the tertiary education systems in those major importing countries. 相似文献

This paper critically discusses the educational policy trajectories of Singapore and Cambodia in an era of globalization.
Drawing upon David Johnson’s five metaphors to describe the historical and political forces that shape educational policy
trajectories, the paper argues that Cambodia’s current educational policy trajectory is characterized by the “politics of
compelling” while Singapore’s situation is more akin to the “politics of selling”. In Singapore, the politics of selling intersects
with the politics of gelling, in which various interest groups are encouraged to work together to strengthen the new economy
of knowledge. The paper raises a common challenge for Singapore and Cambodia: to shift from a traditional teacher-centred
and textbook-based approach to a more student-centred and ICT-based approach in a globalized world. The last section of this
paper explores the possibility of addressing this challenge through gelling, by setting a new agenda for education, one that
combines foreign and indigenous sources of knowledge from various interest groups. 相似文献

Most investigations into the effects of funding changes on higher education systems have been carried out in developed economies.
This article focuses on the Thai higher education system, applying theoretical arguments and empirical analyses to the case
of a newly industrialising country. One goal of the Thai higher education funding reform is to cut public spending and to
stimulate university–industry cooperation as a means to obtain additional university income. This article presents empirical
data based on an investigation into the cooperation activities of five Thai universities. The results show that both individuals
and organisations react to changes in university funding: university–industry relations are becoming more frequent and are
promoted by university administrations. The financial benefits for the universities as well as the technological benefits
for the cooperating companies are, however, both very limited. 相似文献
