THEME: NATIONAL POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR INTERNATIONALISATION: ENHANCING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
VIRTUAL ENGAGEMENT WITH INSTITUTIONS ABROAD
On 6 November 2020, the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology published the Policy Framework for Internationalisation of Higher Education in South Africa providing a concise roadmap for Higher Education Institutions to engage in comprehensive internationalisation. As part of the policy requirements UKZN is required to develop its own internationalisation policy/strategy that embraces the broad principles of the framework.
The Policy Framework provides guiding principles on student mobility, forging of international partnerships, international research collaborations that enhance teaching, learning, research and community engagement and the offering of joint programmes and degrees. It also has relevance for the Internationalisation of the curriculum that enhances the scope of internationalisation at home activities. The Policy Framework is also timely in the current context of international Higher Education, which has been acutely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, troubling traditional notions of internationalisation.
