“…The BRICS countries faced internationalization while being wrapped in vulnerabilities. These weaknesses stem from the convergence of historical, economic, educational, financial, and paradigmatic circumstances (Chakraborty, 2021). According to him, these factors make it more difficult to monitor the challenges, deal with the risks, and make the best of the opportunities of internationalization.…”

Purpose-Since the 1980s, internationalization of higher education has moved from the "periphery" to the "core" of higher education policy discourse. In terms of the interest preference for development, it has also shifted from the political interest preference in the early stage to the compound preference for political, economic and cultural interests, and the form of practice has also evolved from the single-threaded mechanism of internationalization of curricula and exchange of visits by academic staff in the early stage to the systematic development mode of project system and platform as the basic features. In view of the diversity of practices and methods of internationalization of higher education, as well as the diversity of understanding of the nature of internationalization of higher education, the terminology related to internationalization of higher education is endless and complicated, but the core theories have not been sufficiently developed. This conceptual study is to explore the evolving concept of internationalization of higher education and its importance in emerging countries like BRICS through the literature of recent academic evidence. Methodology -A qualitative research methodlogy was employed which involve literature review of subject under investigation. The recent literature from 2018 to 2023 was investigated. Significance -Higher education institutions, particularly those located in countries that are still in the process of emerging economies, such as BRICS countries, have an immediate and urgent need to focus on the reality of the internationalization of higher education (IHE) and the associated repercussions on the sector. The main purpose of this research investigates the challenges, risks, and opportunities and also expresses the policies which establish to enhance the IHE. The finding shows that the BRICS nations should prioritize innovation, availability, and inclusivity while also encouraging scholarly collaborations and cross-cultural engagement. By pursuing these objectives, the BRICS nations may improve their international competitiveness and help the globe become more dynamic and integrated.

“…Students' enrolment into institutions of higher learning is increasing yearly (Chakraborty, 2021;Jiang & Ke, 2021) hence there is always access labour supply in the labour market. The labour market is no longer able to absorb all the graduates looking for employment.…”

Japanese universities are popular destinations for international students. A lot of efforts have been made to provide supporting services and activities to international students such as Japanese classes, counseling and consultation, job hunting and career education, exchange events, summer school, culture experience tours etc. These activities bring satisfaction to international students, which is contributed indirectly as a pulling factor for attracting international students into Japan. However, little has been known about the approaches used by different universities for supporting international students as not many reports are published in English regarding this topic. This study investigates the variety of on campus supporting services and activities provided to international students in Japanese universities and satisfaction of international students as recipients of these services. The literature for review was mainly collected from Japanese sources using Google Scholar. Data was reviewed qualitatively by comparative analysis, comparing approaches applied by different universities with regards to the elements of 300,000 international students plan and other pull factors. The results showed specific approaches, results in providing campus supporting services by different institutions. The results also imply obstacles and potential solutions to the Japanese universities to attract international students.

“…Given the complex nature of sustainability issues, SD education must pursue an integrative approach to modelling sustainability in the university's core functions and systems [36]. While it is challenging to implement changes in older Indian institutions, few new-aged institutions are managing things differently [38]. Ashoka University (AU), built on collective public philanthropy principles, has attempted to integrate education, research, and operations to address SD issues.…”

Sustainable Development (SD) is the universal essentiality of present times, and universities have a critical role in implementing this initiative through their functioning, policies and practices. To integrate SD goals, universities should have a global outlook that is still locally rooted in its strategies. In the last decade, various theories and recommendations have been proposed and adopted globally for integrating sustainability in higher education systems. In India, environmental education has been mandated at all formal levels in the education system. Still, there is a strong argument that it is not simply a matter of overhauling syllabi and curricula. Instead, universities should be incorporating SD goals into their research and their own operations. Our study aims to investigate the sustainability model of Ashoka University (India) that approaches its commitment through sustainability-focused courses, research, and operations. This study involves an in-depth literature review and uses an established framework to assess the condition of the university towards sustainability issues. Our case study employed observations, data collections, document reviews, and interactions with different stakeholders. The study concludes that the university is mostly in adherence with the framework at this stage. Critical areas of future development within the framework are proposed considering the global context. This research serves as an entry point for evaluating sustainability issues of the Indian higher education system, and hopes to motivate higher education communities to do further research to improve their sustainability performance and their role as agents of change.
