Questions were asked from various perspectives such as how to take the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the field of international education around the world and how to confront that after this crisis.

This time, as representatives of Asia and Oceania, speakers from OP Jindal Global University (India) and University of Otago (New Zealand) participated in addition to our university.

IIE chairman Alan Goodman acted as MC. The recording will be rebroadcast at the link above.

 

About US interest in Asia, many points were discussed that reflect the current relationship between Japan and China. The international educational situation that Japan accepts many excellent international students from China like our university is not well recognized in the world.

Moreover, we cannot really say that we completely know the situation of international students in India and Oceania. Even under this current circumstance, it is important to increase the presence of our university through such this opportunity and to communicate externally what kind of international education activities are being done.
