The University of the Free State (UFS) recently hosted the Directors Forum of the International Educators' Association of South Africa (IEASA). The forum provides strategic recommendations and support to IEASA, which serves as a strategic support mechanism for Higher Education South Africa (HESA). It consists of all the heads of internationalisation of South African higher-education institutions and was established in 1997 for universities and universities of technology to respond to international educational trends. Pictured here are some of the delegates from the universities of the Free State, Cape Town, Fort Hare, Limpopo, UNISA, Western Cape and Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
