To shape our future, our universities need to foster innovation and creativity. This is in response to South Africa’s history and a political system that did the opposite. We are seeing major disruptions to higher education — and the education system as a whole — not only at home but globally.
If we look at the South African economy it has for long been premised on a very different labour market. What then is meant by internationalisation of higher education? In broad terms it is a process of integrating international and intercultural dimensions into the functions and purpose of higher education. With the end of apartheid and the reacceptance and return of South Africa to the international community, government has made internationalisation of higher education a priority, and a draft policy framework was released in 2017.
This is where the academy has the chance to be innovative and influence discussion about knowledge hierarchies and continuous legacies of Western hegemonic knowledge systems and knowledge transfer. In addition, by incorporating international and intercultural knowledge and abilities in the curriculum, students will be better prepared for a world of work that is international and multicultural. Multiculturalism and multicultural environments and contexts are also linked to increased creativity.
