Abstract

On 6 November 2020, the Policy Framework for Internationalisation of Higher Education in South Africa was promulgated. It provides high-level principles and guidelines for the internationalisation of higher education in South Africa, lays down specific rules for certain aspects of the process and aims to shape the process of internationalisation at South African higher education institutions, redressing past inequalities whilst addressing policy imperatives of higher education in a democratic South Africa. In this paper, we analyse the context and content of the Policy Framework. We first explore the context by discussing the historical background leading to the development and drafting of the Policy Framework, whereafter we analyse the substantive content of the Policy Framework. We consider its suitability for advancing the South African higher education system's internationalisation objectives, interrogate whether it can provide direction for comprehensive internationalisation of higher education in the country and provide recommendations on the way forward devoting attention to strategies for successful policy implementation.

南非高等教育国际化的政策框架：全面国际化的指南针？

2020年11月6日，南非颁布了《高等教育国际化政策框架》。它为南非高等教育的国际化提供了高水平的原则和指导方针，为这一进程的某些方面制定了具体规则，旨在塑造南非高等教育机构的国际化进程，解决过去的不平等现象，同时解决民主南非高等教育的政策要求。在本文中，我们分析了政策框架的背景和内容。我们首先通过讨论导致政策框架发展和起草的历史背景来探讨背景，然后我们分析政策框架的实质性内容。我们考虑它是否适合推进南非高等教育系统的国际化目标，询问它是否能为该国高等教育的全面国际化提供方向，并就如何将注意力集中在成功实施政策的战略上提供建议。
