This paper examines the views of staff at higher education institutions on how well 14–19 education and training prepares young people for higher education (HE) study. It draws upon research involving focus groups with approximately 250 academic and admissions staff at 21 higher education institutions in England and Wales. The data collection was conducted between February and June 2005. The paper presents their perceptions of the articulation between 14–19 education and training and higher education. It examines their perceptions of the preparedness of young people to enter HE, and their preparedness to engage with HE. The evidence presented suggests an urgent need for more effective communication between the respective actors and institutions in 14–19 education and training and HE, particularly with regard to approaches to learning.

During the 1980s various policies and initiatives were developed at European Community level which had direct or indirect impacts on the industry–higher education interface at national and local levels. This article first sets these in the context of more general conditions and trends in the EC, and then reviews specific developments under three main headings: education and training; research programmes; and technology transfer, innovations and entrepreneurship. Each review is accompanied by speculation on likely future developments.

PurposeThe study aims to evaluate the components of entrepreneurship education and training (EET) in India. The paper proposes a framework for an effective EET regime for amalgamating entrepreneurship education as fundamental to mainstream higher education in India.Design/methodology/approachThe current study utilises a qualitative research technique, that is, the narrative inquiry methodology based on in-depth interviews. The study respondents included sixteen educators who are actively engaged in EET and related activities for a minimum of ten years.FindingsThe study identified five broad “meaning units” or “themes,” that is, “incremental pedagogical efficiency and flexible evaluation systems,” “entrepreneurial experience of the faculty,” “extended support,” “holistic mentoring” and “experiential learning” as components of an effective EET regime.Originality/valueThe study will help the policymakers and higher education institutions (HEIs) revisit their policy frameworks and practices to promote entrepreneurial capacity and entrepreneurial intentions among students. The study will also help to gain deeper insights into EET components and will propose a framework for an effective EET regime based on its findings.

Abstract The pandemic COVID-19 has had an impact around the world and in the European Union, putting unprecedented pressure on education and training systems. It has fundamentally changed the way we learn, teach, communicate and collaborate in our education and training communities. This has implications for students, families, teachers, trainers, institutional leaders and society as a whole. Most European Member States have decided to extend the physical closure of education and training institutions, while mobilising alternative solutions and support for distance education and learning, especially digital solutions. This transformation has challenged education and training systems and stakeholders in these areas in Member States, particularly students and families, as well as teachers and trainers, but it has also provided them with valuable learning and training experiences, accelerated the digital transformation of education and training institutions. Emerging and disruptive technologies have undergone numerous and sufficient changes to ensure this. Thus, they will change the face and vision of higher education institutions.
