Abstract
The internationalization of education has been promoted as a method to prepare students for working and living in a world where national borders are becoming increasingly porous. Being prepared to work and live internationally is especially important for refugee students who do not at present have the option to return to their land of birth. Currently there are approximately 150,000 refugees who are living in closed camps communities along the Thai-Burmese border. Scenarios and recommendations concerning refugees attending international university programs in Thailand, bringing distance education programs into the camps, allowing refugees to attend Thai institutions of higher education in the vicinity of the camps, and upgrading existing educational programs are presented. It is felt that it is possible to provide quality higher education to motivated students currently living in a refugee situation if the international community and international educational community provide the expertise and funding to make this objective a reality. L’objectif principal de l’internalisation de l’éducation est de préparer les étudiants à travailler et à vivre dans un monde où les frontières nationales deviennent de plus en plus poreuses. Ce talent international est d’autant plus important pour les étudiants réfugiés qui ne peuvent pas, pour l’instant, rentrer dans leurs pays d’origine. À ce jour, il existe environ 150.000 réfugiés qui vivent dans des camps communautaires tout au long de la frontière thaïlandaise et birmane. Cet article décrit des scénarios et des recommandations de réfugiés qui participent à des programmes universitaires internationaux dans des institutions thaïlandaises. Ces universités offrent des programmes à distance dans les camps et donnent ainsi la possibilité à d’autres réfugiés d’étudier ou de revaloriser leurs diplômes et leurs connaissances. Il paraît être tout à fait possible d’offrir une éducation universitaire de qualité afin de motiver des étudiants qui doivent vivre dans des situations de réfugiés si la communauté internationale, ainsi que la communauté éducative internationale fournissent l’expertise et les financements adéquats afin de rendre ce projet réel.
