On October 31st, GSICS held the third seminar focused on the “International Education Development and Cooperation in the Post 2015”. This seminar consisted of the following three main sessions: 1) Recent International Initiatives in the Post 2015 Education Agenda; 2) International Education Development in ASEAN; and 3) Higher Education and Innovative Education Cooperation.
