AbstractWith the worldwide expansion of the modern university system during the twentieth century, higher education has become an important feature of our modern society at a global level. Islamic universities form part of this global phenomenon, but so far major studies on the globalized higher education system have ignored the role of religion in this field. This article briefly explores the role of Islam at three Islamic universities in India, with a primary focus on the Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) in New Delhi. JMI was established in 1920 and holds a long history of providing higher education, particular for Muslims, within the specific national context of India, where Muslims constitute a significant minority. More precisely, the article investigates how the “Islamic” is defined and expressed differently at the three institutions and what that difference means in conceptual terms. Finally, the findings are placed in relation to the issue of standardization/localization within the theory on globalized education.

Higher education is considered as an invaluable instrument for the sustainable development of human being and society through a dynamic process of creation, advancement, and dissemination of knowledge. In a fast developing country like India the role of higher education assume utmost importance. Universities have a pivotal role in realizing this goal. Our higher education system has had a glorious past in the form of world-class universities like Nalanda, Vikramsila, and Taxila, which attracted students and intellectuals from all over the world those days. However, in the present time we are lagging far behind in terms of qualitative education and research. This necessitates a serious concern and introspection to look into the nuances and flaws of our system that make our higher education system stand at where it is now. This paper, based on the analysis of various reports and Govt. documents, discusses some of the issues, which are at the core of the main concerns pertaining to higher education in India. Taking a snapshot of the historical trajectory of higher education system in India to the present time, this paper presents an overview of the higher education system in India and points out some most relevant concerns troubling the issue at the core.

History of Indian education dates back to over 5,000 years. Education in the Vedic and Muslim periods was found to be based on religion while the Buddhist period gave world-class universities. In the British period, education oscillated between being a central subject and a provincial subject. The Constitution of India placed education as a state subject, which was later transferred to the Concurrent List in 1976. But due to lack of coordination between the centre and state governments, the higher education system is found to be in a critical state. Further, there is significant disparity in funds allocation to central and state universities by the central regulator, UGC, which further worsens the situation. The current system can work, if the centre makes the law with a broader view and leaves the states with enough power to customise it. There is need to establish State Education Councils in every state to better assess the need of state universities and recommend/allocate the funds accordingly.

Schlüsselwörter: Disziplingeschichte, deutsche Erziehungswissenschaft, Bedeutung der KonfessionDisziplingeschichte wird bisher vorrangig auf nationale Kontexte bezogen und wenn kulturell, dann in Sprachkulturen und Theorietraditionen diskutiert und für das Hochschulsystem erforscht, wie sie für den deutschsprachigen Bereich typisch sind. Die Geschichte der Erziehungswissenschaft in Deutschland zeigt demgegenüber, dass jenseits nationaler Einheitsformen, wie sie durch die Sprache, die Struktur der Universitäten und durch die Ordnung der Lehrerbildung erzwungen werden, weitere kulturelle und soziale Differenzen bedeutsam bleiben. Der Vortrag soll vor allem die fortdauernde Bedeutung der Konfession und die politische und gewerkschaftliche Organisation von Lehrern und Parteien als Differenzmerkmal herausarbeiten und die Mechanismen klären, wie diese Faktoren wirksam werden.Keywords: history of discipline, German science of education, role of religionNations and their cultural context, mostly defined by language, by the specific national systems of higher education and by the forms of teacher training dominate worldwide the current analysis of the discipline of education in its modern history, despite of all international relationships. The central thesis of the here presented arguments is that in the case of German Pedagogy and the German science of education the concentration on nation, language and the system of higher education is misleading in understanding the genuine dynamic of their special history in Germany. Contrary to the dominating interpretation the article tries to demonstrate that hereby the central role of religion, of socio-political factors like the tradition and form of the trade unions of teachers and of the pedagogical and political ideologies of the political parties is ignored or underestimated in its continuing impact on the discipline of education. The role of these factors is both effective and significant in the structure of arguments and theory-building and in the construction of social networks inside and outside of the academic field

Nowadays, sports and sports competitions are indisputably superior forms of popular entertainment and also sort of activities that are a part of everyday life for almost all of us, whether we are observers or direct participants in some of them. For the same reason, they are also some of the most profitable industries that bring huge profits and popularity to many of its actors. For all those reasons, the social context of the present role of the sport is certainly an important topic for analysis, as well as the history of changes that have resulted in the position and influence that sports hold in the modern society, and vice versa. Therefore, this text has an ambition to highlight the broader horizon of events that have led to a place that sports occupy today. On the other hand, it also sheds some light on the complicity and interactivity that existed from the beginning, along the line, between sport and the society, a culmination of which is visible in current spectacular outlines of sporting events. In this way, it points to one of the primary aspects of all sports events, but also to those secondary visible elements that today are often in the primary focus of all participants, due to the money and the attention that are following sports and sport athletes.

In this work, the problem of the crisis of higher education in the world educational process is actualized. The significance of this problem demanded from the author a comprehensive analysis of the literature, which reveals the essence of the phenomenon under study. The paper speaks of the inappropriateness of the representation of the higher education system as being in deep crisis. The characteristic features of modern society are revealed, which testify to the opposite. The role of higher education is presented as the main source of the development of intelligence, the intellectual potential of a person, outside of which scientific and technological progress would be impossible. It is argued that there is no crisis in the higher education system, there are permanently arising contradictions (the driving forces of the development of nature, society and man) that require their systemic resolution. The need to improve the psychological, pedagogical and methodological culture of a teacher of higher education as significant components in the structure of their personality is noted

This chapter presents the historical and conceptual background to the book’s argument. It starts with a history of Ghana, followed by an analysis of the trends that have led to high levels of out-migration, and then to a description of Ghanaian populations in Chicago. Next, it addresses the concept of social trust in general and personal trust in particular, developing a theory of personal trust as an imaginative and symbolic activity, and analyzing interracial relations through the lens of racialized distrust. It concludes by describing the role of religion in the integration of immigrant groups into the United States and the particular religious frameworks that characterize Charismatic Evangelical Christianity in Ghana.

The University

In Ecuador, affirmative action policies enable students from vulnerable groups to preferentially enter universities. However, these policies are limited to admission and do not include academic or socio-economic support mechanisms that, according to the literature, promote student insertion in the higher education system. In this study, the effects of socio-academic intervention on the academic performance of vulnerable students are presented. For this, 41 students were selected among 164 vulnerable students entering the Escuela Politécnica Nacional in the second term of 2019. The 41 students attended a socio-academic intervention course for one term, while the remaining 123 attended the Escuela Politécnica Nacional levelling course directly. Once both groups of students finished the levelling course, their performance in each of the course subjects was compared. The results showed that the academic performance of the students in the intervention was significantly higher in mathematics and geometry compared to the students who had no intervention. These results show that the socio-academic intervention promotes the real insertion of vulnerable students in the university system.
