Abstract

As an individual's mobility increases, educational competition and cooperation are shifting from the national level to the regional level. Student mobility therefore has become a bench mark to indicate the educational competitiveness of a certain region. In order to facilitate student mobility and enhance the convergence of regional higher education, regional cooperation mechanisms, such as EHEA, are established or under development. In the ASEAN and China context, the exceeding outbound flow and unbalanced intra-flow of students suggested that regional convergence shall be an effective option to cope with concerns of exceeded outflow of students,brain drain, as well as losing economic benefits. Besides, two opportunities and one challenge are highlighted because they are crucial when China and ASEAN start to forge a regional higher education convergence.
