| Abstract: | Until recently, education has been largely absent from the debate on globalisation because it was thought to be essentially a non-traded service. But this is not the case. Traded educational services are already a major business in some countries, e.g. in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The largest component of international trade in educational services is accounted for by students traveling to study abroad. This trade has been established over many years, but a newer prospect is the widespread provision of courses and qualifications by providers originating from, and in some cases operating, outside the country of a student who stays at home. |
