Internationalization, Higher Education, Education Development, PakistanAbstract
Pakistan is passing through the initial stages of internationalization of higher education. The basic challenges in the internationalization of higher education are the brain drain and economic development. For this very purpose, Pakistan sends its talented and qualified scholars to advanced countries to improve their qualifications and share their experiences in their homeland. HEC sends scholars abroad to meet the challenges and compete in the international market. Most of the universities in Pakistan are in coordination with those of the developed countries, and even some of the foreign universities have opened their campuses in Pakistan, which results in more opportunities in technology, teaching, research, and academic linkages. HEC is trying to make the admission process and arrival easy for outside students so as to attract them to its education because internationalization of higher education is not only to send its scholars abroad but also to attract international students.
