Abstract
This chapter explores the effects of cross-border mobility of students and education providers in the Asia-Pacific region. While most higher education students study in their own country in local institutions, a growing number of students from the region study overseas or in foreign programs offered in their own country. These students are often overlooked in national data on higher education participation. This chapter presents an overview of the scale and character of such cross-border provision in the region, with a focus on the challenge of broadening access. Cross-border provision is playing a significant role in growing and supplementing the capacity of domestic higher education systems, particularly in geographical locations and fields of study where demand for higher education is growing rapidly.
