Summary:

"Access, equity and capacity are elements within the higher education environment that interact in complex ways to effect virtually all other aspects of such institutions. This volume examines various features of how these concepts are generated, transformed throughout policy environments, and deployed across the complex differences of higher education in ten countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. The book's contributors assert that at virtually every turn issues of quality are deeply implicated with how these three dimensions occur within these diverse institutional environments"-- Provided by publisher.
