In this era of globalized education, many of us would want to know about the status of the worlds\u2019 top higher education systems and how they compare to one another. Just a few decades ago, there was nothing to explore beyond the US and the UK. In the post dotcom era, however, with demographic changes in the west and the emergence of new world powers in the east, the tectonics of education is shifting. This article is meant to shed some light on these shifts in demand and supply in postsecondary education. We will cover the new trends both in the western and eastern (Asian) worlds. Specifically, we will examine postsecondary education systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada on the western side. On the Asian side, we will look into the Chinese and Japanese post-secondary education systems.<\/p>\n
