Education: Victoria University Chancellor to lecture at distinguished speakers

Melbourne - /Medianet International-AsiaNet / - Victoria University's Chancellor, The Hon. Justice Frank Vincent AO QC, is visiting Malaysia this month, and will present a lecture at the Sunway University College as part of the Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah's Distinguished Speakers Series, on Wednesday 23 July.

He will share his views on the thought provoking subject of: 'The Globalisation of Education from a judicial perspective'.

Universities Government and business are all grappling with ways in which they can collectively respond to the increased enrolments and education opportunities for students in the 21st century.

What should universities in developed countries do to respond to this surging demand? More specifically, what have Australian universities done to provide for the needs of young Indonesians, Malaysians, Vietnamese, Indians, Chinese and other Asians. All the time bearing in mind the affordability of education for their parents and the requirements of internationally accepted standards.

Victoria University is hosting a two day "Celebrate VU" event to coincide with this talk, and will be joined at the event by VU alumni and members of Sunway University Colleges student body.

Where: Auditorium 7, 2nd Floor, South Building, Sunway University College, Malaysia
When: Wednesday 23 July 2008
Time: 5.30 to 6.30 pm
