Transnational Education (TNE) is an area of significant and growing interest to the UK education sector. The range and number of TNE activities, such as remote campuses or joint degree programmes, continues to grow rapidly, with expected continued growth in the coming years. TNE is also rising up the political agenda owing to its potential as a high earning export industry; ‘Supporting Transnational Education’ is one of the key policy strands in the UK Government’s ‘International Education Strategy’. Historically Janet’s offerings have been delivered almost exclusively within the UK. However in response to the growing demand from the community, we have made a strategic decision improve the support we offer for your developing TNE activities. Through our TNE strategy and support programme we seek to address your requirement for cost-effective, appropriate and reliable connectivity services overseas, integrated with our UK-based operations and Janet’s other services, to support TNE delivery on a global basis. This group is for any person or organisation interested in our developing transnational education programme of activities; this community site will be a valuable source of information to us to understand your requirements as we develop our overseas support over the coming months. We also aim for this to be a valuable source of information for informing your own TNE activities.

OBHE-Janet TNE Survey

8 July 2014 at 12:42pm

If you are in an International or IT Office in an HE Institution you may be interested in a Survey that Janet has instigated this week via OBHE to assess the HE sector’s TNE requirements for network connectivity overseas. In each of your organisations this will have already been sent to the Head of International and the Head of IT (or similar). If you wish to receive more information or have not received it, please contact tne-enquiries@ja.net

Please do encourage those in your organisations to respond; for Janet to respond to the demand in overseas TNE activities we need to know what you are currently doing, and what you plan to do in the future. This Survey will help us to plan and prioritise what we do next following our two successful pilot projects in China and Malaysia.
