Ben Sowter, Senior Vice President, QS, said:
 "Asia's higher education story is one of diversity and dynamism. While systems such as China, South Korea, and Singapore are consolidating excellence, others—including Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam — are advancing rapidly despite structural and resource challenges. The region's evolution reflects both its opportunity and its complexity."
