The paper considers mathematical differential models for managing the achievement of planned values of material support for educational and scientific activities of the university based on the analysis of this area of activity of transport universities. Models contain a mathematical description of the material and financial processes under study, which analytically show their dynamics for a certain period. The models are quite simple and can be used for planning and forecasting the financial support strategy of higher education institutions. In her research, the author relied on the work of Russian scientists, in particular, on [1-5]. This paper presents a mathematical description of the set of possible options for the system, predicting the consequences of the implemented options, and justifying the rational choice of management to achieve optimal educational and material support of the university. In this paper, we used methods for solving and investigating differential equations, as well as the MathCAD 15 software package for their numerical solution [6-8].

The relationship between the higher education sector and employment is under close examination, with the employment outcomes of graduates being seen as an important indicator of institutional performance. Universities have responded by providing a range of services and programs. One such program, Inside running, has been implemented at the University of Western Sydney, with the financial support of all sectors of the institution, to develop graduates who have a greater awareness of the culture and operations of large corporations. Inside running addresses the integral elements of a career education program through student participation in an intensive six day exposure to the corporate world. This article describes the program and its outcomes.

In 2012, the UK government introduced the National Scholarship Programme – a scheme that aimed to ensure that young people from families with low household incomes would not be discouraged from entry into higher education by increases in tuition fees. Drawing on longitudinal evidence in the form of 80 semi-structured interviews conducted in an English Red Brick University over a 3-year period, this article uses Jenkins’ work on social identification to examine the processes by which these post-2012 undergraduates used and experienced the financial support made available to them as part of the Programme. The article explores how the initially categorical label associated with being a student in receipt of financial assistance was variously understood and experienced as they moved through their degree. Not only did the additional finance allow students to avoid excessive part-time work, recipients also felt increasingly valued by the institution when they began to recognise how their financial circumstances differed from their peers, and that the university had made this provision for them. It remains to be seen whether these, more intangible, benefits of non-repayable financial support will transfer to the system of ‘enhanced’ loans that have subsequently replaced maintenance grants and the National Scholarship Programme.

This chapter presents a review of Gaines Post’s doctoral dissertation The Papacy and the Rise of Universities. He divides his work into two parts; part one ‘The Papacy and the Constitution of the Universities’, examines how the papacy influenced the emergence of universities while part two, ‘The Papacy and the Members of the University’, details how the papacy aided the members of the university through financial support for the masters and students. What Post had accomplished in this dissertation was to compile a thorough survey of papal interaction with multiple universities from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, using primarily papal bulls as his sources. This work surveyed an impressive range of topics, addressing papal influence and intervention in the areas of licensing to teach—including the right to teach anywhere—internal development of the faculties, material support for masters and students, regulation of housing rents, and the founding of colleges.

“The National University? Of course, I use it for political purposes—pay a student to stay in school to fight the communists. Yes, he's 35 years old, been there quite a while. The name of the Rector? I don't know.”“No, I've never given any money to the university—I've never been asked. Library? I don't know whether they have one or not. Don't the students listen to the lectures?”These comments illustrate the widespread feelings of public indifference and hostility toward higher education in Central America today. They also underscore the need for better information about higher education and the need to reduce the gap between the universities and the societies in which they operate.The universities of Central America have long been tottery towers built on inadequate structures of national public education. Their marginal utility as centers of learning and intellectual leadership is evidenced in many ways: in low levels of financial support; rundown physical facilities; weak administrations and consequent weaknesses in the standards of teaching, research and student academic performance.

Healthcare-saving activity is the determining basis for the comprehensive and harmonious development of the student's personality, his lifestyle and life position. The main tasks of this approach are to ensure a healthy lifestyle by means of healthcare-saving technologies of each person, to bring them to the required level of perfection. This necessitates the improvement of specialists in physical culture regarding the formation of a healthy lifestyle by means of health-saving technologies in parallel with the introduction of the modern software and methodological support of the educational process in their practice. The pedagogical conditions of effective healthcare-saving activity of students in the educational process of institutions of higher education are specified. The main tasks of the organization of the educational process are revealed. Pedagogical bases of a healthy way of life in the educational process of the higher school are defined. The main objectives and factors of the program-methodical support of a healthy lifestyle of young people are considered. It is noted that the program and methodological support for the problem of a healthy lifestyle of young people in the educational process of the university depends primarily on such factors as: 1) material support of the educational process; 2) the contingent participating in the educational process; 3) implementation of the specific conditions. of the program.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

For over two centuries, the College was the characteristic form of higher education in the United States, and the College was closely allied to the church in a predominantly Protestant land. The university became the characteristic form of American higher education starting in the late nineteenth Century, and universities long continued to reflect the nation's Protestant culture. By about 1900, however, Catholics and Jews began to enter universities in increasing numbers. What was the experience of Jewish students in these institutions, and how did authorities respond to their appearance? These questions will be addressed in this article by focusing on the Jewish presence at the University of Illinois in the early twentieth Century. Religion, like a red thread, is interwoven throughout the entire fabric of this story.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) has become the standard used to describe and evaluate students’ command of a second or foreign language. It is an internationally acknowledged standard language proficiency framework which many countries have adopted such as China, Thailand, Japan and Taiwan. Malaysia Ministry of Education is aware and realise the need for the current English language curriculum to be validated as to reach the international standard as prescribed by the CEFR. The implementation of CEFR has begun at primary and secondary level since 2017 and now higher education institutions are urged to align their English Language Curriculum to CEFR as part of preparation in receiving students who have been taught using CEFR-aligned curriculum at schools by year 2022. This critical reflection article elucidates the meticulous processes that we have embarked on in re-aligning our English Language Curriculum to the standard and requirements of CEFR. The paper concludes with a remark that the alignment of the English curriculum at the university needs full support from the management in ensuring that all the stakeholders are fully prepared, informed and familiar with the framework.
