Export of Education from New Zealand to Bangladesh: Issues and Opportunities

The internationalisation of education is the key to the globalisation of knowledge for the development of human societies that incorporate equal opportunities. The gap between the developed and developing societies in terms of knowledge and technological know-how can be minimised by opening up education at every level by the advanced societies for the not-so-advanced nations. This paper identifies the opportunities created by the internationalisation of New Zealand education and raises relevant issues for further development for countries like Bangladesh, a poor country. The paper concludes that Bangladesh, having traditional aspirations towards educational excellence and yet is unable to provide adequate facilities due to resource constraint will benefit from destinations such as New Zealand for world class education.
