Abstract
This paper describes the current situation of globalization of higher education
in South Asian developing countries, the changes taking place, considering
mobility of educational institutions, students, , and programmes, across the
borders and challenges they face in their efforts to design and expand higher
education systems, the issues related to quality assurance and some of the
remedies to get out of it. Statistical data is reported from world resources. This
study did not attempt to include comprehensive studies of individual countries,
instead it addressed the issues that overall influence these countries. It argues
that globalization promoted higher education in all countries and resulted
migration of skill from under developed to developed countries. It also
decreased the monopoly of national public institutions alone in providing
higher education. Financing of higher education had been shifted from public
to the household domain. Although accreditation agencies are established yet
this expansion has also created the quality issues especially in developing
countries. The development of measures to ensure equity and quality is a major
challenge faced by South Asian developing countries. So, the role of the state
should be very crucial to develop policies for regulating the functionality of
multiple institutions.
