[excerpt]

Higher education systems across Asia face four overarching challenges: (a) maintaining and

improving education quality, even in the face of serious financial constraints; (b) improving

the relevance of curriculum and instruction at a time of rapid change in labor market needs;

(c) increasing and better utilizing the financial resources available to higher education; and (d)

balancing the continued expansion of access to higher education with greater attention to

equity and to the need to raise quality.
