Higher Education (HE) in Pakistan presents a case of the "inverted pyramid". The need of the country is to eradicate illiteracy and yet on the eve of the new millenium it stands at a humble 45 per cent. Poverty in the country is on the rise. Given the constraint of the financial resources the downward spiral is evident and yet the masses at the grassroots level could greatly benefit from increased literacy skills. Equipping them with functional literacy skills would clearly improve their quality of life. Given the two opposing trends whereby the country needs to provide massive literacy skills to its populace and the infrastructure of education heavily biased in favour of HE, an innovative approach within the education system and its mode of delivery is needed. This paper focuses on one such possibility and proposes a model to develop a link between the two to place the benefits of HE at the doorstep of the populace where it is desperately needed.

The article discusses current problems and opportunities for competitiveness assessment of graduate in the context of the requirements of professional standards. The authors present the technology of competitiveness assessment of a future specialist taking into account the following criteria: professional knowledge in a psychological and pedagogical and subject area, the level of communicative culture in organizing interaction with the subjects of education, the level of student motivation in creating an individual educational route and forming long-term professional goals, reflexive skills of students in assessing the results of learning and cognitive activities and monitoring the dynamics of student progress in the educational space. The article material presents the results of empirical and comparative theoretical study of the level of development of educational outcomes and functional literacy of students of Russian and a number of foreign universities. The competitiveness assessment of future specialists was based on the study of the level of development of universal skills “soft skills” on the example of the implementation and design of individual educational routes of students. The authors have formulated conclusions that this process of assessment of scientific and educational achievements of students is associated with trends in humanization and internationalization of higher education, which determines the need to use in the educational process of a modern university open learning systems aimed at organizing the learning of students on individual educational routes, providing academic mobility of students.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.
