2024/09/30 | Juan-José Prieto-Gutiérrez
The article "The Internationalization of Higher Education Beyond 2030" by Juan-José Prieto-Gutiérrez explores the future of internationalization in higher education beyond 2030. It examines past, present, and future trends, highlighting the evolution and growing importance of academic internationalization. The text emphasizes the shift from physical mobility to the internationalization of curricula, with a focus on cultural and linguistic diversity becoming more equitable through online mobility. It also anticipates an increase in transversal actions related to values, solidarity, and coexistence, promoting a more inclusive and collaborative higher education system. The article discusses the current state of internationalization, noting that physical mobility remains dominant, but there is a growing trend towards programmatic and policy mobility, with virtual mobility gaining traction. It also highlights the need for a more egalitarian approach, where all individuals are treated with equal dignity and rights, regardless of gender. The text calls for the development of transversal actions that go beyond academia, aiming to create a more just and fair world. Looking to the future, the article suggests that virtual mobility should have the same weight as face-to-face mobility, and that universities should foster a global perspective in students. It also emphasizes the importance of cooperation agreements between countries, the development of ICT infrastructure, and the establishment of international educational points and innovation centers. The article stresses the need to overcome the Westernized paradigm and give prominence to countries in the global south. It concludes that internationalization is crucial for addressing global challenges and that a global knowledge society, where all people have equal access to information and knowledge, could be achieved by 2030.The article "The Internationalization of Higher Education Beyond 2030" by Juan-José Prieto-Gutiérrez explores the future of internationalization in higher education beyond 2030.
