Cross-border exchange in education, or the movement of students or institutions between economies, is part of the exchange of goods and services that brings diverse economies together. It is an important component of the economic cooperation that defines [Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation] APEC and APEC's endeavours to improve, through cooperation, economic outcomes for its member economies. The strong economic dimension of exchange in education services is complemented by the broader cultural and social benefits of educational exchange, which in turn provide the foundations to further enhance economic outcomes for member economies. Like the exchange of other goods and services, improving the efficiency and effectiveness with which educational services are exchanged between economies is an appropriate objective for the APEC forum, and one which is expected to result in improved economic outcomes and further regional cooperation and development. This paper considers the ways in which education contributes to economic outcomes and the ways in which APEC wide cooperation in education exchange can enhance both educational outcomes and economic and social outcomes for all member economies.
