The International Education Association of South Africa (IEASA), a non-profit organisation, was established as a result of the need for universities and universities of technology in South Africa to respond to international educational trends. If South Africa is to remain competitive within the global economic environment it is important that our higher education provides opportunities for students to obtain a global perspective to their studies. It also means that we open up international contacts which will benefit students, our tertiary institutions and will assist South Africa to be a competitor and participant in world markets.
