Institute of International Education, New York, NY.
Educational developments in Mexico, South America, and Southeast Asia are covered in five seminar papers. In addition, country educational profiles are presented on Mexico, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. In "International Students from Southeast Asia," John F. Brohm considers the following aspects of evaluating Southeast Asian applicants for admission to U.S. colleges: language, financial capability, their local facilities for higher education, the comparability of local and U.S. education, and student motivations. In "Overseas Education: Mexico," Rene S. Greenwald discusses recent political, social, and economic developments in Mexico that have or will have an effect on education, along with the historical relationship between Mexico and the United States and study abroad programs. In "Signs of Revolution in South American Higher Education," Daniel Heyduk reviews changes in South American countries that affect higher education. Joan H. Joshi, in "On the Recruitment of Foreign Students," provides suggestions for institutions regarding what to do before looking abroad for students, what to do during the recruitment process, and what do avoid. Finally, J. F. Brohm discusses the need for literature for foreign students on the quality of U.S. institutions in "Informational Literature on U.S. Educational Institutions for the Foreign Student."
