As transnational higher education is here to stay, developing countries like Indonesia should make provision for it in preparing their national plans for the development of higher education. Given the economic crisis of 1998‐1999 in this country that has led to cutbacks in traditional higher education possibilities, transnational offerings in some cases may help to fill the gap.

Organizations like GATE and INQAAHE should collaborate in the elaboration of a formal recognition process to be adopted by national accreditation bodies involved in transnational higher education.
