Higher education plays an important role in ASEAN’s economic, political and socio-cultural development agenda. As a region it has nearly 20 million higher education students and over 7000 universities. Supporting the mobility of these students in the region is an important aspect of ASEAN’s work on the internationalisation of higher education, consistent with the ASEAN Work Plan on Education 2016-2020 and the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC) 2025.

3. Scholarship and ASEAN single branded scholarship (SBS)
