Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Higher education in Thailand is under pressure to change due to the market economy and globalization, and the launch of the ASEAN Economic Community is a contributing factor. This calls for the development of knowledge-based human resources, improving student mobility and international quality, and improving English language education. In Thailand, there are 155 institutions of higher education, 72 of which are private, and since 1990, the country has pursued a policy of internationalization of higher education, developing the International Program (IP), which offers a program with English as the teaching language and aims to accept international students and promote English language education. As of 2021, Thailand has 27,452 international students, with China and CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) countries making up the majority.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は高等教育の国際化戦略を推進し、留学生送り出し国から外国人留学生受入れ国への転換を図ろうとしているにタイを取り上げ、構築されつつある新たな留学ネットワークに着目し、その構造をプッシュ要因とプル要因の相互関係を踏まえて実証的に把握しようとするものである。本研究の成果は、途上国から東南アジアの教育ハブへという、留学現象の新しいフローを解明する一助となることが期待される。本研究が目指すアジア域内での自律的留学ネットワークの構造的解明は、単に研究の未開拓領域を埋めるのみならず、アジア域内において留学現象がいかなる自律性のもとに発展しうるのかについて新たな視座を提供しうる点で学術的な意義を有する。
