| A well-developed community construction is a realchallenging but necessary for many nations. An ideal community should realize all economic, social, material and spiritual needs of each and every one of its members. With the increasing impact of globalization, community development has also come under the purview of universities. As nations race towards creating knowledge-based economies, it has become even more important to equip people with higher education for further improvementthe quality of human capital. Furthermore, universities have had to evolve with the needs of the community – through programs, infrastructures, delivery methods, technologies and philosophies that can reflect the community’s demands and attitudes. The private universities and institutions need to "think global and act local" in order to enhance internationalization, while taking regional needs and differences into consideration.The findings of this study are valuable in inspiring professionals and policy-makers to further formulate effective educational policy in this country. | ||
