Dr. Choltis Dhirathiti, the Executive Director of the mg国际 大学 网络, delivered his pertinent remarks at the roundtable discussion regarding Governance in Higher Education on Thursday, 5月19日, 2022, as part of UNESCO 世界 Higher Education Conference 2022 (WHEC2022). 是次会议由李秀珍主持. Kilemi Mwiria，肯尼亚前教育部长助理，由Dr. Choltis; Flor Pablo Medina- Former Minister of Education, Peru; Hannele Niemi- Professor of 大学 of Helsinki, Finland; and Susanna Karakhanyan- Higher education Policy & 阿布扎比教育和知识部监管主任.

The speakers and audience discussed possible avenues to enhance the governance of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the light of growing impediments such as the expansion and commercialization of provision to HEIs; increased accountability to various stakeholder groups; globalization and industrialisation; shifting global political communities; technical advances; an increasing public sector and social networking and media communications; militarized wars; racial prejudice and tribalism; and crisis situations such as the corrupt practices of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). 高等教育机构能够最好地建立可接受的自治程度的方法是讨论的一个基本主题，因为试图平衡相互冲突的内部和外部动机可能最终导致组织自治的下降.

According to UNESCO’s International Bureau of Education, 治理指的是“……旨在确保问责制的结构和流程。, 透明度, 响应性, 法治, 稳定, 公平包容, 赋权, 广泛参与. 治理也代表规范, 值, 以及以透明的方式管理公共事务的游戏规则, 参与, 包容, 和响应. Governance, therefore, can be subtle and may not be easily observable. 然而, 广义上讲, 治理是指公民和利益相关者在公共事务中相互作用和参与的文化和制度环境. 它不仅仅是政府的器官……”

Dr. Choltis表示，这一主题包含了大学高层管理人员在决策过程中几乎每天都面临的困境. 治理就是要找到正确的平衡, 例如, having come from the context of Southeast Asian higher education, 现在的大学在排名和社区服务之间处于一个两难的境地. 如果mg国际考虑排名, 尤其是商业排名, 大学需要进行大量深入而优秀的学术研究. But if we go for serving the needs of the community, most of the time it does not provide scope and time for good research. 有些人说mg国际可以选择两者，但大学的高层管理人员拥有有限的预算，他们需要明智地投资. 当mg国际追求问责制和透明度时, 大多数时候，mg国际与管理的有效性或效率发生冲突, 哪些搭配不好. 管理效率和参与治理之间也存在不平衡.

他总结说，mg国际地区在文化上是多样化的，民主不是一种共同的货币. 因此，高等教育治理是一种将民主推进到体制内的机制. 在一些国家，大学教师是国家官僚机构的一部分, 因此，一些高层管理人员的职业生涯最终将会像柬埔寨那样在教育部工作, 越南, 老挝, 和马来西亚. If we do not handle higher education in Southeast Asia well, 它可能会给世界带来问题. Quality education is the key to the development of this region. 关于预算问题, budget allocation is a significant issue for the 政府 taking into consideration the number of universities. 也, 在COVID-19大流行期间, teachers are left behind the students since the latter are tech savvy and could navigate themselves through online learning better.
