Abstract
Literature is replete with globalisation and its continuing influence on paradigm shifts in education. One of the many areas of the impact of globalisation is the imperative of opening up learning beyond the national borders of higher institutions. While it is possible for higher institutions in the developed world to take giants steps in line with the rise of transnational education (TNE), the same cannot be said of institutions in the developing world.
