Abstract How do you present the most effective case for promoting age-inclusivity to your campus leadership? Educational institutions differ in their missions and resources; and these factors affect their readiness to becoming more age-inclusive. This presentation suggests that the best approaches are tailored to intentionally and robustly advance your institution’s values, mission, and strategic plan as demonstrated through your proposed age-inclusivity initiative. We review the persuasive arguments for increasing the focus on age-inclusivity in higher education, including securing increasing external research and development funding, supporting employees and alums exploration of encore careers, attracting more students in light of demographic shifts, contributions to overall campus diversity, etc. Identifying the most compelling arguments for particular institutions, consistent with their missions, is connected to the various resources in the AFU toolkit. Finally, we show examples from a range of institutions who successfully made their cases for embracing age inclusivity and have not looked back.

Abstrak: Urgensi Penguatan Budaya Wirausaha untuk Meningkatkan Daya Saing Indonesia di Era MEA. Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) akan diberlakukan mulai Desember 2015. Berbagai hambatan yang selama ini menghalangi pergerakan berbagai sumber daya dan aktivitas ekonomi seperti kebijakan tarif dan non tarif mulai ditiadakan. Konsekuensinya tingkat persaingan di kawasan ASEAN akan semakin ketat. Pertanyaannya adalah apakah Indonesia sudah siap menghadapi MEA? Budaya wirausaha yang belum kuat dikhawatirkan akan mempengaruhi kemampuan Indonesia untuk memanfaatkan potensi pasar domestik yang sangat besar. Hal ini menjadi peringatan bahwa dalam MEA nanti penetrasi produk luar ke pasar dalam negeri akan semakin massif. Untuk memperkuat daya saing bangsa, pemerintah harus mendorong agar kewirausahaan menjadi budaya baru dalam kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan melibatkan lembaga pendidikan, mulai dari tingkat dasar sampai dengan pendidikan tinggi; meningkatkan anggaran penelitian dan pengembangan, serta menggalakkan pelatihan kewirausahaan. Kata kunci: Daya saing, Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN, budaya wirausahaAbstract: Urgency of Entrepreneurial Culture Strengthening to Improve Indonesia Competitiveness toward ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) will be implemented starting December 2015. Many obstacles that have hindered the movement of resources and economic activities such as tariff and non-tariff are abolished. As a result of that policy the level of competition in the ASEAN region will be intense. The question is whether Indonesia is ready to face the MEA? A weak entrepreneurial culture will affect the ability of Indonesia to exploit the potential of a large domestic market. To strengthen the competitiveness of Indonesia, government should encourage a new culture of entrepreneurship. This can be done by involving educational institutions from elementary to higher education, increasing research and development budget, and promoting entrepreneurship training.Keywords: competitiveness, ASEAN Economic Community, entrepreneurship culture.

The dynamics of several demographic indicators of Russia - child and teenage cohorts in 1970-2000, life expectancy in 1995-2000, migration flows among federal districts in the period between two censuses of 1989 and 2002 - are considered in the article. The author puts forward the hypothesis about the influence of these indicators on the level of education in narrow and broad senses - in educational institutions and the society as a whole. He estimates the perspectives of regional higher educational institutions under conditions of absence of plan distribution of graduates and the double cyclical fall in the number of high school graduates. The agenda for the development of a two-stage system of higher education corresponding with international integration processes is formulated.

Measures adopted by educational systems to improve and adapt the educational response of pupils with disability or diversity conditions arising from their personal and social conditions, have enabled them to gain tenure throughout the various stages of education. Educational institutions have been progressively adapting and responding to the educational needs of students who start university, and this fact highlights the lack of inclusive culture in university institutions. The lack of training of university teachers in the educational response to the needs of students with disabilities is evidenced by the high dropout rates of this group and in successive complaints of teachers who do not have the skills or tools to cope with this situation successfully. The review of a set of 75 programs developed by different Spanish universities to meet the needs of these students shows an insufficient institutional and administrative response while reflecting the lack of unity of jointly developed criteria.
