Dr. AA Orunkoya Leads AHUSC on Official Visit to UNIMAR to Strengthen Cross-Border Education Collaboration

Dr. AA Orunkoya, serving as Investment Attorney representing American Heritage University of Southern California (AHUSC), USA, recently paid an official visit to the University of Marilia (UNIMAR), São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 1938, with the goal of consolidating a strategic cross-border education partnership in research and learning.

The collaboration between AHUSC and UNIMAR focuses on several key areas:

1. Promotion of Student and Staff Transfers:
   Both universities aim to facilitate the exchange of students and instructors in a manner that is not considered adverse to manpower export. This exchange will cover both studies and work experience, following a well-structured program for dual degrees, or “twinning,” to be awarded jointly by the two institutions via online and virtual distance learning.
2. Promotion of Intercultural Learning:
   The partnership seeks to encourage intercultural exchange, fostering a learning environment enriched by diverse perspectives and experiences.
3. Framework for Exporting Skills:
   The collaboration is designed to create a framework for skill export, ultimately enhancing the economic growth of both institutions and, by extension, their respective countries.
4. Enhanced Degree Recognition:
   The recognition of degrees awarded by both AHUSC and UNIMAR is strengthened through this collaboration. By improving quality assurance through joint efforts, the universities aim to elevate their global rankings. This will be further supported by engagement with the U.S. Department of Education and initiatives in cross-border tertiary education.

Understanding Cross-Border Education
Cross-border education refers to collaboration between countries or institutions to provide learning opportunities beyond national boundaries. The International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP-UNESCO) recognizes the significance of cross-border education and emphasizes its role in fostering global learning initiatives.

Streetwise Solicitors is proud to play a part in this historic project, supporting the growth of international education and the development of innovative learning frameworks across borders.
