	Outline:			Brain drain or brain gain – what are the implications of international student flows? Should there be some form of control? Will the evolution of international higher education result in the ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor – both between and within countries? Public or private good – what are the implications for international education as increasingly more private providers usurp the dominant role of the state? Jonathan Dimbleby hosts this Any Questions?-style panel discussion on the issues currently affecting the international community – issues that are certain to be at the centre of debate over the years to come. The panel will bring together top professionals and policy makers from key organisations from around the world in a forum that is sure to be both thought-provoking and stimulating. Any questions from the floor?
