Secondly, the discussion on a certain program such as research, teaching and learning process, curriculum, and the like. It is better to focus on one of those programs. When one program of any field is successful, another program can be initiated. In the long run, all aspects of education can be executed together.The third is the execution in the field when a certain program of the above has been chosen. In this respect, there are some steps to be paid attention. Austin, Ann E. et.al, (1991) suggested that any program of collaboration take basic stages: (1) choosing team members; (2) dividing the labor; (3) establishing work guidelines; and (4) terminating the collaboration.Choosing the team members needs some consideration. The best way is by looking at their track record in terms of collaboration such as communication skill and foreign language, preferably English. Another consideration is their expert. For example, when the program in research is chosen, the faculties who have expertise in that field must be the priority.It is common that the collaboration process often find problem dealing with inequality of power, integrity, and other aspects related to divergent factors among the team members, especially when it involves different countries and their social and cultural aspects. Therefore, it is also com-mon in any collaboration, after having been initiated, it stops in vacuum. In order that the common problem above does not exist, the first time of the collaboration program is learning the vision and mission of each university, college, or school. Understanding the values behind the vision and mission is the key to success for a good collaboration. Above all, the most important goal of collaboration in education among the nations is to make the world public get a balanced education quality. By doing collaboration among the universities, colleges, or schools for all the nations, the human resources in any nation can get equal opportunity in any job. In other words, it can reduce the unemployment, especially dominated by the workers with low-level education.
