Creating education hubs

World demand for higher education continues to climb, driven by the insatiable desires for the socio-economic mobility of individuals, and by governments who now widely recognise that broad access to higher education, and the production of degrees at the baccalaureate, professional and doctoral level, is one of the primary factors for economic development.

But indicators show that this strength is eroding as universities elsewhere in the world are improving their quality and marketing, and as governments expand programmes intended to draw the world's pool of talented and increasingly mobile young people.
