National Schools and Globalization Obviously many national schools in foreign countries have been attracted to accreditation by the visibility of accredited international schools. But some national school leaders have quickly moved beyond the cosmetic values of accreditation and have been contemplating the underlying covenants that enable accredited schools to operate with freedom through peer authority rather than under ministerial authority. It should surprise no one that many national school leaders see this as a step upward. It is a step upward. In addition to this motive, national schools of all countries are becoming part of the new education.
Foreign students are increasingly mobile.
National systems of higher and professional education increasingly recruit frommobile. National systems of higher and professional education increasingly recruit from a world pool of students, and many students in national schools anticipate having university experience in a country other than their own. Corporations overseas and in the US are using modern quality control methods to evaluate and accredit schools in the US and other nations whose training programs meet highly specified international quality control standards. These interests increasingly see national schools as producers of leaders, consumers, and workers.
