On the way to higher education In recent years, under the leadership of the President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, great changes have taken place in the higher education system, as well as in all areas. Consequently, the confidence of our people in this field is strengthening, and the desire of youngsters for higher education is growing from year to year. The Presidential Decree "On approval of the Concept of development of the higher education system of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030" states important tasks such as ‘’raising the content of higher education to a qualitatively new level, the establishment of a system of training highly qualified personnel who can make a worthy contribution to the sustainable development of the social sphere and the economy, find their place in the labor market’’.

Bangladesh economy has been transforming towards a market-based economy from a state-dominated centrally planned economy since the early 1980s, the pace of transformation has been slow though. The aim of this article is to see how the higher education system responds to the changes in the structure of the economy. The article argues that the higher education system in general in a transitional economy is responsive to the changes in the structure of the economy. The article, however, also argues that the changes in higher education system, especially in curriculum, would not follow a linear unidirectional trajectory.  This article is built on a small-scope empirical study on three selected social science disciplines of Dhaka University to see whether and how they responded to the demand of the growing labour market in terms of changes they introduced in curriculum in the last 20 years. Having analyzed skill and knowledge demand by the banking and telecommunication sectors—the two major sources of private sector employment for educated workforce in recent years—the article makes an effort to track what kind of changes the three selected disciplines under the Faculty of Social Science of Dhaka University have made in their respective curriculum in response to the demand of the major private sector employers. The article finds that Public Administration and Economics Departments of the Dhaka University show high and low responsiveness to business sector demand, respectively. While Sociology Department did not respond to business sector demand, rather it has responded to NGO sector demand. Among these three departments, Public Administration is found to have a low degree of compatibility to business sector needs. The article concludes that the Faculty of Social Science of Dhaka University has been slow and hesitant to respond to emerging needs of the dominant business sector employers; it is mainly because of the negative attitude towards private sector in the academia and lack of proper direction of private sector development.

The current socio-political situation in India has gradually shifted the meaning of leader, power and identity in the Indian higher education system. Normalizing the diverse voices, oppression, concretizing the social categories and policing of education created a crisis of ethics. The majoritarian and populist leadership took the shape of an authentic leader, representing the identities of the groups who prejudice towards the minorities. The higher education systems such as universities have become a seat of monitoring and limiting dissenting voices and a neoliberal wave has taken over the whole system in the name of morality, nationalism and religious dominance. This article presents a critical analysis of leadership in the university settings and the way leadership processes are considered to be authentic and ethical in a cultural context.

Marcela Mollis. (2001). La universidad argentina en tránsito. Ensayo para jóvenes y no tan jóvenes. Argentina: FCE. 139 pp.En el texto reseñado se explora cómo ha sido el tránsito de la universidad argentina, desde el corte tradicionalista heredero del gesto napoleónico, hasta la actual universidad, inmersa en una sociedad globalizada, como lo es hoy la sociedad argentina y el resto de América Latina. Se pretende realizar un análisis endógeno –considerando al Sistema de Educación Superior en Argentina– y exógeno –del valor social de la Educación Superior– de dicho tránsito, y para ello se procede con un análisis del valor social que la Educación Universitaria ha tenido. De esta forma, se aborda de manera científica el estado actual del Sistema de Educación Superior en Argentina, atendiendo diferentes miradas: el contexto en que se enmarca la universidad argentina, la reforma educativa, los jóvenes universitarios y su papel como “consumidores” del abanico de oportunidades de la oferta educativa.AbstractThe described text explores how the transition of the Argentinean university has developed from the traditional perspective inherited from the Napoleonic period to the present university, immersed in a globalized society like that of present-day Argentina and the rest of Latin America. We attempt to carry out an endogenous analysis, –considering the Higher Education System of Argentina–, and an exogenous one –of the social value of Higher Education– of said process; to this end, our analysis considers the social value of university education.Thus, we scientifically deal with the present state of the Higher Education System of Argentina, emphasizing different perspectives: the context of the Argentinean university, the educational reform, university youngsters and their role as “consumers” of the opportunities offered by the educational system.

Around the Millennium we experienced the worldwide development and the growing importance of the role of higher education played in the social and economic development. A few years later, however, a crisis appeared in the situation of higher education (Kadocsa, 2002). The Hungarian higher education system faces the perspective of serious changes in its fundamental principals – such as its main activities and the economical ways which are used to finance these activities – even if only parts of the new educational scheme come into effect. Considering this fundamental activity aspect of the issue, there are new challenges which make necessary to rethink the role and aim of higher education and to define the new tasks needed in connection with education, research and other services. Hungarian Education needs to be renewed and improved to avoid a completebreak away; therefore, future priorities and tasks in order to fulfill these priorities need to be defined (Vincze and Harsányi, 2011). The new conception seems to be based on restrictions of the budget as it is experienced recently: a new structure available for a smaller part of society with a restricted budget has been under development. However, not even a battle, let alone a war can be won without money, horses and arms. The recent financial restrictions as well as the parts of the Széll Kálmán plan concerning education prove that serious amounts of governmental funds is taken away from education. The international improvement tendencies contradict to basically all of these Hungarian priorities.All in all, no reform or change – no matter how much wanted – can be achieved without appropriate funds.
