Request for Proposal - Transnational Education (TNE) Research Programme

Popular mode of higher education provision in Sri Lanka is transnational education (TNE), where students study in Sri Lanka for qualifications awarded by an overseas institution.  Sri Lanka is the third largest host of UK TNE students and ranks first in the South Asia region despite being a relatively small country. Transnational Education in Sri Lanka currently operates without formal regulatory oversight. No specific regulations exist that advise the need for any entry requirements for foreign education providers, institutional registration, or local partnership engagements

Given the above context and the shared interest in fostering collaboration and advancing the internationalisation of education, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of the Transnational Education (TNE) landscape and assess the possibilities for sustained involvement in Sri Lanka. 

British Council now invites proposals for the Transnational Education (TNE) Research from stakeholders for the Sri Lanka Programme

The official Request for Proposal and other  relevant tender documents are attached herewith.

All documents required as part of your tender response should be submitted to Savithri.DeMel@britishcouncil.org on or before 12 January 2024.
