The study aimed to discuss Arab Gulf states in the global competitiveness index issued annually by the World Economic Forum during the period (2010- 2018) in terms of the economic efficiency index, and the efficiency factor of higher education and training economics. That is for the hypothesis claimed that there is an effect of the efficiency of higher education and training economics in Arab Gulf states on the economic efficiency considering global competitiveness index standards. The study analyzed the situation of each of Arab Gulf states (Saudi Arabia- Kuwait- United Arab Emirates- Oman- Bahrain- Qatar) in terms of the overall rate and ranking, and used first- degree mathematical equations with one, two and three variable to reach the result of the situation of Arab Gulf states regards the top-ranking countries and the backward ranking countries, whether in the economic efficiency or in the efficiency factor of higher education and training economics. The study used a mathematical equation to analyze the effect of the efficiency factor of higher education and training economics in Arab Gulf states on the economic efficiency, and came out with several results based on mathematical equations and economic aspects with regard to the efficiency factor of higher education and training economics in Arab Gulf states. The study found that the degree of impact of the efficiency factor of higher education and training economics on the economic efficiency in Arab Gulf states in light of global competitiveness index standards are considered medium to tend to rise, reaching (11.20%) out of (17%).

This research explains about Indonesian labor competitiveness from perspective of the 5th pillar GCI (education and training). The purpose is to (1) measure the readiness of Indonesian labor at the ASEAN level and (2) ana-lyzed relationship between GCI and HDI. This research was using descriptive and inferential analysis. The re-sults show Indonesia is in fourth place in ASEAN. Coefficient correlation between the 5th pillar of CGI and HDI is 0.874. This explain the quality of human development is strongly related to global competitiveness. It can be interpreted that increasing human resources will also have positive impact on global competitiveness trough improving education.

Algeria initiated reforms in various fields, including higher education in order to facilitate the transition to knowledge economy. This study showed the reality of higher education in Algeria and investigated its role in the production of knowledge by assessing the number of patents, scientific researches, university rankings; and it compared the Algerian higher education performance through Global Innovation Index and global competitiveness index. Using the collected data, the study clarified the relationship between expenditure on higher education and the number of patents issued, the result showed a strong positive relationship, and on the other hand it tried to explain the regression between Algeria's ranking on the global innovation index and the sub-indicator tertiary education. This study concluded by proposing the most important possible solutions to upgrade the Algerian performance. KEY WORDS: higher education, knowledge economy, government expenditure, university rankings, Innovation, patents, scientific research, human capital, GII, global competitiveness index, Algeria, Arab countries.

India has gradually evolved as knowledge based economy due to the abundance of capable, flexible and qualified human capital. With the constantly rising influence of globalization, India has immense opportunities to establish its distinctive position in the world. However, there is a need to further develop and empower the human capital to ensure the nations global competitiveness. Despite the empathetic stress laid on education and training in this country, there is still a shortage of skilled manpower to address the mounting needs and demands of the economy. Skill building can be viewed as an instrument to improve the effectiveness and contribution of labor to the overall production. It is as an important ingredient to push the production possibility frontier outward and to take growth rate of the economy to a higher trajectory. This paper focuses on skill development in Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) which contribute nearly 8 percent of the country's GDP, 45 percent of the manufacturing output and 40 percent of the exports. They provide the largest share of employment after agriculture. They are the nurseries for entrepreneurship and innovation. SMEs have been established in almost all-major sectors in the Indian industry. The main assets for any firm, especially small and medium sized enterprises are their human capital. This is even more important in the knowledge based economy, where intangible factors and services are of growing importance. The rapid obsolescence of knowledge is a key factor of the knowledge economy. However, we also know that for a small business it is very difficult to engage staff in education and training in order to update and upgrade their skills within continuous learning approach. Therefore there is a need to innovate new techniques and strategies of skill development to develop human capital in SME's.

Dual study programs are hybrid forms of work-based higher education that have expanded very rapidly in Germany—a country traditionally considered a key model in both higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET). The continued expansion of these hybrid programs increasingly raises questions if, how, and why they may be internationalized. Although comparative research suggests that this could be challenging due to the uniqueness of the German education and training system, strong forces support internationalization. This study examines the current state and the future prospects of internationalization of such innovative dual study programs by focusing on student mobility, a key dimension of internationalization. We find growing interest in but still relatively little mobility related to dual study programs, whether among German (outgoing) or international (incoming) students. Based on expert interviews and document analysis, we extend existing typologies of student mobility regarding specific features of work-based HE programs. Furthermore, we discuss opportunities—at home and abroad—for increasing student mobility in this rapidly expanding sector.
