The Impact

The systematic changes in higher education institutions in Poland over the past two decades are analyzed. The classical idea of spontaneous social development and the hypothesis of interaction between formal and informal institutions, developed on the basis of a new institutional educational policy, was adopted as a methodological basis for analyzing and evaluating the transformation of Polish higher education. Transformations in Polish higher education are part of a more general shift in the role of universities - changes that can limit the independence of research and make it an instrument of dominant social, political and economic forces. The article states that the process of improving the quality of education cannot be detached from the system of financing education. The quality of education depends on the funding system not only because it is a source of resources, but also because it creates incentives for both students and teachers. The problems in the field of financing higher education in Poland are special because the rapid quantitative development of higher education occurred during a period of deep political transformation in Poland. The activities of the State Accreditation Commission of Poland are analyzed, its main competences are highlighted. The Polish Accreditation Commission (Polska Komisja Akredytacyjna) is an independent collegiate body of higher education management aimed at improving the quality of education. It is formed by the Minister of Science and Higher Education from among the candidates proposed by the Council of the Conference of Rectors of Higher Education Institutions of Poland, the Conference of Rectors of Polish Professional Educational Institutions of Poland, the Parliament of Students of the Republic of Poland, the Senates of universities and national scientific societies and the organization of employers. The powers of the Commission include providing the Minister of Science and Higher Education with opinions, feedback and conclusions regarding the establishment of the HEI or its organizational unit, permits to study studies in a particular direction at one or another level of education; program and institutional assessment, including pedagogical education. The impact of financing higher education institutions to ensure the quality of higher education is partly considered in the article.

Quality management in universities is often perceived in Poland as a determinant of quality of education. According to the author, it is too narrow approach. The next challenge of quality management in Polish higher education institutions is the problem with accreditation of activities, which is closely identified with control. Examples of foreign universities: Pompeu Fabra University in Spain and Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland show that quality management can generate large benefits for universities.

The 1960S

The development of University research potential (URP) in the USA during 1950-2020 in view of achieving competitive quality of higher education is analysed in the article. The national deterministic context and components of this potential by the types of activity (educational, research) and by the resources (personnel, financial, organizational) as well as component impact on the highest excellence quality of education (according to the criteria of the Academic Ranking of World Universities, ARWU) are identified. It is proved that the context of URP development is dichotomous and consists of national spheres of education and research. This assertion corresponds to the duality of higher education (as an integrated intersection of education and research) and the composition and structure of higher education mission (list of interrelated keywords and the order of their priority: education, research, creativity / innovation). It is substantiated that URP is first actualized within study programmes of the highest level of complexity (Master's, PhD and Postdoctoral), research activity of academic staff (especially professors) and research organizations associated with Universities (institutes, centres, laboratories, clinics). This reasoning conforms to the concept and criteria for research and doctoral Universities in line with the Carnegie Classification. These components are integrated into the educational process to varying degrees, so they have a different impact on the quality of education. For the first 30 top US Universities, there is no probable correlation between ranking achievements and the amount of research and developments (R&D) funding as well as the number of researchers in institutions. Instead, such correlation is strong for the number of Postdoctorates in an institution. In general, there is a steady trend of downward in the share of the higher education sector within R&D performance in the US that amounted to 12.0 % in 2019. Although scale of higher education sector share is still growing quantitatively and is the basis for modernizing education content. At the same time, Master's, PhD and Postdoctoral programmes are spreading at a significant pace. In the 1959/60 academic year, the ratio of the number of awarded Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degrees was 1 : 27 : 7.5, in 2018/19 – 1 : 41 : 9.3 under multiple times increased graduation. Between 1979 and 2019, the number of Postdoctorates increased 3.7 times. Salaries of academic staff, especially professors, are increased, academic staff workload is minimized and subject-oriented, a system of permanent employment is proposed, and a modern educational, research, and information infrastructure is created for effective research and research-based education activity. The national context of the development of URP is stably favourable given the increase in the share of GDP for the funding of education institutions in general, higher education institutions in particular, and R&D especially. The corresponding expenditures reached 7.1 %, 3.0 % and 3.1 % GDP and are the largest ones quantitatively in the world. Purposeful and consolidated (federal, business, university, public) support for education and R&D has been and is provided in critical periods of the country's competitive struggle for leadership in an innovatively progressive world. The state of these spheres, in particular higher education, and URP, is systematically examined. The decades of the 1960s of the last century and the twenties of the present century are significant. In the 1960s, the share of GDP for the higher education institutions funding was doubled, the number of awarded Master's degrees was increased almost tripled, and the award of PhD degrees was increased six times to overcome the threat of educational and scientific backwardness. R&D funding reached 2.8 % of GDP, of which 1.9 % came from the federal budget. Funding for Universities’ R&D has increased 3.6 times. The super-powerful public University of California, San Diego (1960), 9 other world-class Universities, and 6 subworld-class Universities according to the ARWU, the National Academy of Engineering (1964), and the National Academy of Education (1965) were established. The characteristics of state, monitoring and development policy of the URP and educational and research context in the US is a guideline for the improvement of Ukrainian Universities.

The Impact

Education plays a vital role in the development of any nation and this fact is well recognized all over the world. It is imperative for any nation now a days to focus on developing its higher education, since advanced knowledge, advanced facilities only can fulfill man’s advanced needs today. But unlike the primary education, higher education is a financially demanding one for a nation. The economic reforms, initiated since 1991 including Globalization has resulted in the higher demand for the people of India both within and abroad, Since domestic and multinational industries look for more knowledgeable and skilled man power all over the world. The Indian Government initially found it difficult to fully fund from its own the fast growing Indian higher education sector and hence allowed the private players to establish and run higher education institutions. This has led to the establishment of large number of higher education institutions in India over the last two decades. Higher education has seen tremendous growth over the past few years though it does not mean that it is free from problems. Theperformance of an educational institution is judged not only on the basis of the quality of education being provided but also on the basis of its contribution to the society. The present study has made an attempt to find whether all these developments have brought about benefits to the students in particular and to the society in general with reference to higher education especially, the impact of globalization on the scenario of higher education. The present study concentrated on areas such as quality of higher education now, problems faced by the students and the service providers, benefits attained by the society and necessary strategies for improving the quality of higher education in the era of globalization, if the present scenario is falling short of being beneficial to one and all concerned.

Public–private partnerships (PPPs) in education are presented as capable of resolving several issues of education provision, financing, management, access and quality. This paper aimed at analyzing the impact of PPPs on access to and quality of higher education in Tanzania. Secondary research was used to gather data and critical review of the data and its analysis made. The focus of the paper was on higher education financing and on private higher education institutions. The findings indicated that PPPs have had a positive impact on increasing access to Tanzania higher education. However, although private universities and university colleges are many in number, enrolment has continued to be higher in public universities. It was further noted that an increase in higher learning institutions and subsequent increase in access to higher education has not meant an improvement in the quality of education provided by the institutions. As such, PPPs have had no significant impact on the improvement of quality of education. This is mainly accounted for by the number and qualifications held by academic members of staff in private universities, the infrastructure as well as the programmes they offer.

There is greater focus on the quality of higher education teaching and how we reward and recognize excellent teaching. There are questions from governments about the quality of teaching and a desire to identify excellence. In Australia and beyond, higher education institutions have been working towards clarifying their criteria and expectations of what constitutes excellent teaching. They are reviewing their policies and practices to enable their excellent teachers to access development and support so they might be rewarded through promotion. An inceasing number of universities and higher education institutions are now promoting their excellent teachers through to professor level. This is important not just for the academics and teachers themselves, but for the quality of education that students receive.

This paper is an in attempt to open discussion about the impact of globalization and theories of neoliberalism on higher education. More specifically, viewing higher education institutions as a market place, where the more a product costs, the greater supply and quality of the product should be received; the quality of education received by university students should also reflect this. Considering the conflict between teaching and research in higher education, quality of education becomes questionable. This paper explores issues of neoliberalism resulting in a greater demand for the completion of research in higher education institutions. Furthermore, the imperialism of higher education leading towards the demand for more research, the teaching versus research nexus within universities, and discussion of how these theories impact international students will be examined throughout this paper
