Effective Integration

University—industry relationships in science and technology in Canada are changing. A review of the data on R&D activities in Canadian universities points to a rise in industrial sponsorship from about 4% of total university-based research in 1980 to 11% in 1993. There are various reasons for this increase, but it is clear that government university—industry programmes have played a major role. There is also evidence of increasing cooperation between Canadian higher education and business in the planning, design and delivery of teaching and service activities. The Canadian infrastructure for university—industry interaction is composed of many organizations and levels, and new programmes or modifications to traditional approaches are continually being developed. Organizations have responded to the need to make university—industry programming more relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises, and are making some headway in cooperation. Nevertheless, an effective integration of the university—industry aspect into a national or regional system, with inclusion of all the relevant actors, still poses a challenge.

Academic Services

Student satisfaction is an outcome of the insight of service quality provided by the university. Government of Bangladesh introduces private universities in 1992 because of huge demand in higher education. Currently, there are 103 private universities, forty-three public universities and three international universities in Bangladesh. But it is a matter of sorrow that, universities are increasing day by day but the qualities of universities are not satisfactory. This study is a comparative study conducted on two universities (one is Rangamati Science and Technology University (public) and another one is Premier University (private). The study was pointed out academic services in the private and the public universities. Based on the review of literature a questionnaire was developed and it was distributed among 120 students. The total 120 respondents have been drawn probabilistically from 2 universities. Descriptive analysis, factor analysis have been used to analyze the data and to draw the findings. It has been found that satisfaction level of the private university students is not up to the mark. Finally, few suggestions have made to increase satisfaction of the university students in Bangladesh. Results revealed that students from Rangamati Science and Technology university (public) and Premier University (private) hold different opinion whether their expectation met or not.

The concept of citizenship needs to be redefined in the twenty-first century to emphasize the notion of cooperation amongst individuals, as the institutional action that often results can have a crucial importance in politics, the economy, and culture, at the local, regional, global, and individual levels. This requires the shaping of new societal consciousness. Education, especially higher education, has to assume major responsibility in this process, as it has done historically. This may well entail a revised concept of citizenship—not only through curricular changes but also through institutional practices. Responsible citizens should act in coordination with each other following the new requirements of a modern knowledge-based society reacting to global challenges. This is in line with another mission of the university—that of public good—providing individuals with access to knowledge so that citizens develop professionally, acquire new skills, and become competitive in local and global labour markets. In a century of transformational global change, it is now more than ever the mission of higher education institutions to cultivate citizens capable of tackling local and global challenges in an innovative but also cooperative manner.

<p>This study determines the employability and satisfaction of the graduates of the mathematics education programs of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP)-Cagayan de Oro City, namely, Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics, Master of Science in Teaching Mathematics (MST-Math) and Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematical Sciences major in Mathematics Education for the academic year 2012 to 2018 for the BSEd Mathematics and AY 1999-2018 for the graduate programs. This study utilized a modified Graduate Tracer Study (GTS) questionnaire developed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The mathematics education graduates completed the GTS questionnaire through face-to-face/personal and online using the Google Forms created and sent to the graduates. Results of the data gathered revealed that the graduates of the BSEd Mathematics and MST-Mathematics program are highly employable as secondary school mathematics teachers in both public (Department of Education (DepEd)) and private institutions in the region while the graduates of the Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematical Sciences major in Mathematics Education are highly employable as mathematics instructors or professors while some are holding administrative positions in higher education institutions (HEIs), both public and private in the region. This shows that the program curriculum was very relevant and useful in their current employment status. Moreover, the mathematics education graduates are highly satisfied with the USTP services, facilities, learning environment and more importantly the knowledge and technical skills including problem solving, research, communication, ICT and human relation skills acquired during their academic years in the university. It is then recommended that the USTP mathematics education programs, both undergraduate and graduate level may be enhanced by reducing courses on pure mathematics and adding more courses on leadership and technology innovation and may offer a master’s program exclusively designed for elementary mathematics teachers in the field.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0820/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

This study aimed to identify the level of effectiveness of the Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) in improving the educational process in higher education institutions in Yemen. The case study was carried out in the University of Science and Technology (UST). The study adopted the analytical descriptive method, using a questionnaire, which was distributed to the whole population (90 employees), who deal with the ERP system at the university, and who were selected by the complete census method. Only 74 questionnaires were returned and were subject to statistical analysis. Major findings revealed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the dimensions of the questionnaire and the overall effectiveness of the ERP system at the university. Therefore, this result indicates that there is a high degree of effectiveness of the ERP system in improving the educational process with a high agreement score on the dimensions of the questionnaire. It was found that the highest effectiveness degree was in the dimension of admission and registration support, followed by academic support and student affairs, and the lowest degree was in the dimension of technical support. Overall, the level of application of the ERP system at the university was high. Based on these findings, it was recommended that this system should be applied so as to cover all departments that do not use the ERP system, which would lead to effective and efficient performance of such departments.
