PROPHE Summary: Vietnamese authorities approved the Bac Ha International University, the first private international university in Vietnam, to be launched in northeast of Ha Noi. Partnering with such major foreign institutions as Cambridge College and the Griffith University of Australia, the university expects to enroll 500 students in technology-related fields as well as business management in its first academic year 2007-2008 and with projections as high as 4000 over the coming years. For the full story (shown with permission) seeMathaba News
Network, November 6, 2007, "First Private International
University in Viet Nam."
PROPHE Observation: The Vietnamese case adds another example reflecting a tendency
in Asia of governmental promotion for establishment of private international
universities. Although both private growth and partnership with foreign
institutions are often among controversial issues in developing countries
due largely to the countries' history of public dominance in higher
education, we are witnessing a growing stream of cross-boarder higher
education and foreign penetration, often by the private sector. Previous
PROPHE illustrations include Chile, Kuwait, and some Central American
countries (See PROPHE Global News Reports).
