Abstract

This article critically discusses the Policy Framework for Internationalisation of Higher Education in South Africa, as adopted by the South African government in late 2020. Using a decolonial lens, it adds a critical voice to public discourse on the country’s first national policy for higher education internationalisation. The article argues that the Policy Framework needs to engage more vigorously with decolonisation as one of the most pertinent issues affecting higher education in South Africa today. It offers perspectives on what shifting the geography and biography of knowledge means in the context of the Policy Framework, thus opening up the possibility of moving South Africa from being primarily a receiver to a creator of internationalisation knowledge and practice.
南非高等教育国际化政策框架
本文批判性地讨论了南非政府在2020年底通过的南非高等教育国际化政策框架。从非殖民化的角度来看,它为有关该国首个高等教育国际化国家政策的公共话语增添了批评性的声音。文章认为,政策框架需要更积极地参与非殖民化,这是影响当今南非高等教育的最相关问题之一。它提供了关于在政策框架的背景下改变知识的地理和传记意味着什么的观点,从而开辟了将南非从国际化知识和实践的主要接受者转变为创造者的可能性。
