Widespread Agreement

Higher education desperately needs models for how to help students develop the skills, character traits, and sensibilities that experts agree will be essential for our society in the twenty-first century. Indeed, there is widespread agreement that leadership skills, the ability to work cooperatively in teams, a strong sense of civic responsibility, and a commitment to serve are critically important outcomes, but there is very little agreement on where or how to begin. So where can colleges and universities find these models? What educational institutions are successfully helping young people acquire these qualities? One obvious but often overlooked answer is the armed forces. The author, with apologies to the Army for borrowing its slogan, joins with two leaders in the Marine Corps to explore what the Marines are doing right and what higher education can learn from them.

The transition from higher education to the labour market is experienced as difficult by students with a disability. This gap between higher education and the labour market has tangible consequences for the participation of (young) people with a disability. Research shows that these students have a higher unemployment rate. This article addresses this gap by studying existing research data and by exploring experiences of students with a disability and other stakeholders as collected by the Dutch expert centre Handicap + Studie. We focus on the perspectives and responsibilities of the different parties involved: educational institutions, employers, municipalities, ministries and students with a disability. With this exercise, we want to contribute to putting this ‘gap’ and its stakeholders on the research agenda, arguing that more in-depth research on the transition from higher education to the labour market for students with a disability is needed. We will therefore conclude with themes that need to be researched in order to gain more knowledge for reducing the gap.

This article draws on an evaluation of Go Higher West Yorkshire (GHWY) Uni Connect – an initiative by the Office for Students (OfS) to reduce educational inequalities through collaborative widening participation (WP) outreach across West Yorkshire. It contributes to wider debates on widening participation policy through demonstrating how Higher Education Progression Officers (HEPOs) normalised 'progression' based on community and learners' needs. We deploy realist evaluation to examine the role of HEPOs in a range of educational contexts where young people historically do not progress on to higher education (HE) at the same rates as their peers when GCSE results are taken into account. While there are complexities around the introduction of WP resources in such communities, the article highlights the importance of contextualised WP, and offers a new model of community-focused WP that incorporates learners' needs, educational institutions and the wider community space in which they reside.

In the late 1990s, some institutions started discussing the idea of comparing universities and educational institutions according to certain criteria. Since then, the rankings of universities have become widespread. With the rapid spread, extended and developed scientific progress and technological development every day as we have not seen before, and with the increasing spread of the Internet, these sites have become dependent on the Internet to obtain the data they rely on in the ranking of these universities. Because the ranking of universities, educational institutions, higher education institutions, colleges, and institutes is one of the main elements that have been used in the past two centuries, and because the ranking of universities has become one of the most important ways and means to measure the development or decline of universities, it was important to clarify the mechanisms of the ranking of universities in This period of the twenty-first century and the expected perception for tanking of university for the future period. The aim of this research paper is to present a study on the methods and methodologies that can be used to measure the ranking of universities, taking into account the technological development that has taken place over the past period and to determine what is the possibility of relying on the ranking in the future as a tool to measure the progress and development of universities and the possibility of relying on the Internet as a reliable means of ranking. Observations regarding the educational institutions' perception of ranking are also discussed.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the military education system of Romania and Bulgaria, in particular the educational standards and curricula for highly qualified naval specialists, in order to implement world practices and experience in the educational activities of higher education institutions in Ukraine. The analysis of scientific literature, components of educational and professional programmes, systematisation and generalisation of information, monitoring of the current system of training of military specialists in the armed forces of Romania and Bulgaria is provided. The analysis of the experience of the content and educational and organisational component of training a naval specialist with higher education is given on the example of specialised higher educational institutions of the Naval Academy “Mircha cel Betryn” and the H.Y. Vаptsаrоv Naval Academy. Using the results of comparing the components of the educational (professional) training programme of a navy sailor, specialist, graduate of higher military educational institutions of Romania and Bulgaria, the study proposed ways to improve the system of higher military education, as well as the introduction of new elements (disciplines) of curricula adapted to NATO standards.

Twenty First Century

This paper investigates the possibilities of the use of dialogue, and the dangers of the use of monologue, in higher education in the early twenty-first century, in a period facing a number of smaller- and larger-scale crises – each interpreted as an 'abyss' of some kind. How does higher education contribute, positively or negatively, to personal relationships and the risk of isolation and paranoia, institutional approaches to their own permanence, and broad economic-environmental problems? Each of these abysses is analysed in terms of dialogue, and a dialogic approach in higher education is put forward as a way to help us step away from each abyss. Crises and conflicts throughout the twentieth century might have led to a decline in confidence in dialogic approaches in and beyond educational institutions. However, the opposite was the case, and Martin Buber analysed dialogue in the midst of conflict, rather than simply when conflict was concluded. His mid-twentieth century analyses are used, here, to theorise contemporary dialogic higher education.
