Abstract
This chapter aims to explore the prerequisites for TNE in the Philippines and the willingness of its higher education institutions (HEIs) to engage in transnational education. A study was undertaken aiming to outline the models of TNE that best support the government’s and HEIs’ ambitions in the Philippines. Drawing on a literature review, secondary data analysis, an assessment of policy documents and primary data collection from HEIs, the study concludes that while the push towards TNE in the country was initially government-led, a growing number of HEIs see TNE as means to develop their institutional capacity.
