UI VC Advocates Global Collaboration Among Varsities
Olayinka said this while delivering the fourth annual memorial lecture titled, 'Milestones in the Development of University Education in Nigeria and the Challenges of Globalisation', organised by the Lagos State chapter of the UNILAG Alumni Association, in honour of the deceased Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Adetokunbo Sofoluwe.
Olayinka, who was represented by a lecturer at the University of Ibadan, Prof. Olugbenga Ajayi, said integrating international and local cultural dimensions into teaching and research and other service functions of universities has become necessary if the system must be relevant and meet up with the 21st century demands.
"The rationale for internalisation includes the need to prepare internationally knowledgeable graduates that would build strategic alliances with institutions abroad. It is also to promote innovation in curriculum and diversity of programmes and to ensure that research and scholarship address international issues.
"The number of students studying in countries other than their own is growing worldwide and it has been estimated that by 2025 there will be about eight million of such international students."
