It is the base of several TNE institutions and facilities offering a wide range of programs to students from Europe, the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. The government of Curaçao supports the development of the Transnational Education on the island. It has adopted the UNESCO guidelines for quality provision in cross-border higher education and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and information between the institutions and relevant economic sectors.
