"The book is highly recommended for scholars and students who major in or are interested in comparative education and higher education. Moreover, it should be of interest to policy makers and institutional leaders who want to benefit from the insights and policies of BRICS countries. The work of this volume marks an effective opening for future BRICS higher education studies." (Shuhua Liu, Higher Education, Vol. 71, 2016)
