Infos

This edited volume offers empirical, evaluative, and philosophical perspectives on the question of higher education as a human right in the Asia Pacific. Throughout the region, higher education has grown rapidly in a variety of ways. Price, accessibility, mobility, and government funding are all key areas of interest, which likely shape the degree to which higher education may be viewed as a human right. Although enrollments continue to grow in many higher education systems, protests related to fees and other equity issues continue to grow. This volume will include scholarly perspectives from around the region for a more extensive understanding of higher education as a human right in the Asia Pacific.

Christopher S. Collins is Associate Professor of Higher Education at Azusa Pacific University, USA.  He studies the function of higher education in society from a global perspective and has recently published multiple edited volumes on the Asia Pacific region with Palgrave Macmillan. 

Prompilai Buasuwan is Head of the Department of Education and Associate Professor in the Program of Educational Administration at Kasetsart University, Thailand. Her main research interests include quality of education, university and community engagement, internationalization of education, and educational policy analysis and evaluation.
