Abstract | The chapter focuses on current education reforms in higher education. The chapter analyses and evaluates the ascent of a neo-liberal and neo-conservative higher education policy, globalisation and practices of governance education, global university rankings, internationalization, quality assurance, entrepreneurial and competitive ways of competition for international students among universities, both locally and globally. The chapter demonstrates that neo-liberal dimensions of globalisation and market-driven economic imperatives have impacted on the nature and directions of higher education reforms. The chapter argues that the politics of higher education reforms surrounding standards, excellence and quality have largely come from Northern, often World Bank ideologies. Accountability, efficiency, academic capitalism, the quality of education, and the market-oriented and “entrepreneurial” university model represent a neo-liberal ideology, which focuses primarily on the market-driven imperatives of global competitiveness. |
