Contents:
Chapter 1. Introduction: A case of ambivalence, uncertainty and contradiction -- Chapter 2. Educational equality, higher education and the nation state -- Chapter 3. International students in the UK: Caught between market forces and immigration targets -- Chapter 4. The fragmentation of equality in the internationalized university -- Chapter 5. Equality remains: Stubborn attachments to ideals of educational justice -- Chapter 6. The question of international tuition fees: Cash cows and silent elephants -- Chapter 7. The Swiss banker problem: international students and the university curriculum -- Chapter 8. Constructing the international-home student attainment gap -- Chapter 9. Conclusion: Taking educational equality across national borders.
Summary: In an increasingly globalised educational landscape, this book examines whether the principle of educational equality can be applied across nation state borders. Exploring the tension between the theory of educational equality and the reality that most educational institutions are rooted in local communities and national frameworks, the author thus probes the consequences for institutions, individuals and communities as the number of international students grows exponentially. A topic that has previously received limited attention, the author draws upon theoretical literature and an empirical study of how universities in the United Kingdom conceptualise and promote principles of educational equality for international as compared with home students. This pioneering work will be interest and value to students and scholars of international education, international students, educational equality and globalisation, as well as practitioners and policy makers.
