UK-Australian TNE: Time to prioritise collaboration over competition?

UK and Australia have been both competitors and collaborators when it comes to transnational education, but now could be the time to move to a more collaborative engagement, especially given the reshaping the world is going through since the pandemic, stakeholders have suggested.

“We [UK and Australia] know how to do competition, we have been doing that for a very long time, let’s learn how to do collaboration better — there is lots of opportunities for all of us,” Simon Guy, pro-vice-chancellor Global at UK’s Lancaster University, said at the recently held Transnational Education Forum, organised by the International Education Association of Australia.
