Abstract:

The flow of internationalism towards Thai higher education dramatically impacts on the variety of Challenges and Opportunities, including the Constraints, within the Thai context. The discussion shares some of the critical reflections on how Thai politicians, scholars, and policymakers, in particular, the educational administrators might move the Thai higher educational systems forward in the future. Drawn from two key positions of Challenges, this paper covers the Time to learn from the East and West, the impacts of teachers and learners on the learning, teaching, and research paradigms, and the Time for good governance and management through quality assurance and academic standard. Opportunities, the second key position of chances, propose the Time to increase the cohort participation rate regarding affordability, marketing, and funding of higher educational systems; and the Time to reconceptualise the apex of reputation hierarchy. Finally, Constraints such as English language skills as a significant communication barrier to respond to the impact of internationalism have been raised in this paper
