Entrepreneurship education enhances the entrepreneurial potential of students, leading them to take up an entrepreneurial career. But, in India, a vast majority of youths with latent entrepreneurial potential are passing out of colleges without the needed basic entrepreneurial skills. The inconsistency towards entrepreneurship development policy is hurting the economy as a whole. The study analyses entrepreneurial potential of students and entrepreneurship education in the higher education system. It also examines whether there exists an alignment among them using the data triangulation method. The findings signify that entrepreneurial potential of students is on the upper side, and entrepreneurship education in higher education system is below average. The outcome of this study highlights the increasing need to focus on entrepreneurship education in higher education.

This paper is concerned with ‘ways of seeing’ entrepreneurship. The study of entrepreneurship is compared to a painter's study of his or her subject. The detail lies in the values and symbols, which inform the portrait or the landscape in which the entrepreneur evolves. The detail also informs the conceptualization and implementation of the programmes for a variety of audiences. The paper outlines some of the conceptual underpinnings for entrepreneurship programmes across the world, and how such programmes emerge in different contexts, especially within higher education institutions. The pursuit of entrepreneurship education poses certain challenges both for the higher education system and the student, and the author discusses these issues and how they have influenced the development of a postgraduate programme in entrepreneurship in his university.

After first surveying the development of academic studies of Islam within the modern Turkish higher education system, this essay provides an inventory of material that has been translated from Western languages into Turkish. It is inevitable that orientalist studies will have a place of tremendous importance in this analysis. However, approaches to the Qur'an and its exegesis which have been developed under the influence of the Western scientific and cultural world encompass a larger range of literature that includes not only the orientalist studies themselves but also the criticisms directed against these studies. Particular attention is paid to the work of Fazlur Rahman and Arab scholars influenced by Western methods, and an assessment of the various issues related to the critique of orientalist works is provided.
