The ASEAN Community will transform ASEAN into a single market and production base with free movement of goods, investment, skilled labour, and increasingly free flow of capital and services. ASEAN Member States (AMS) are therefore starting to prepare their citizens to respond to demands for skilled and highly qualified workforce in all sectors. Therefore higher education is one of the priority areas of the EUASEAN Multi Annual Indicative Programme of 2011-2013 focussing to support student and academics mobility and research collaboration approaching the establishment of ASEAN Community by 2015.
The European Union Support to Higher Education in ASEAN Region (EU SHARE) programme will support institutions in ASEAN that are developing regional higher education frameworks of Quality Assurance, Qualification Frameworks and credit transfer. Through this programme, the EU will share its experience and expertise on the Bologna Process1 and the development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) which are relevant to institutions in ASEAN. These frameworks will contribute to mutual recognition, enhance the quality, regional competitiveness and internationalisation of ASEAN higher education institutions.
