Educational institutions, especially tertiary education, are designed to spearhead the development of the quality of human resources. The strategic role needed by tertiary institutions makes intensive attention to improving its quality. This article discusses how to analyze Muhammadiyah Universities (PTM) to transform institutions from national to international scale. This article is carried out by discussing case studies from PTM. Data collection was carried out through several meetings gathering desk research, interviews, and document studies. Analyzes were performed by pattern matching, cross-case synthesis, and explanation building. The results show several aspects of PTM internationalization. Good governance in achieving the objectives of internationalization must be carried out in the form of a vision, mission, goals, quality policy and strategic plan. An internationalization process that demands specialized institutions that require international cooperation and activities. To support internationalization, the development of HR and decision-making systems that are fast and not rigid are important to consider.

This paper is aimed at discussing the strategic role of school (madrasah) in the country. Madrasah is one of the Islamic educational institutions that have an important role for the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. Madrasah is a place to galvanize the mental, moral, and spiritual of the young generation to educate students to be useful beings for the religion, state, and nation. Private Madrasahs as one of the Islamic Education Institutions in Indonesia have a strategic role in the participation of the nation's intellectuals. In the next developments, private madrasahs face complex issues. In one hand, there is a demand to improve the quality in order to compete with state Islamic education institutions and public schools, but on the other hand, the attention of the government, both central and local, to Islamic educational institutions is still low, even they are still placed not as the main class, but the second class of education institutions. The Ministry of Religious Affairs, which became the central policy, began to formulate serious efforts to improve the quality of madrasahs, such as through the Ministry's Strategic Plan.

This paper focuses on government policies for improving secondary education in decentralized Indonesia. The research combines policy evaluation in the field of education through mixed methods, namely the top down method measuring the effectiveness of Indonesia’s policy reforms in numerical terms and the bottom up ethno-methodological approach incorporating soft system methodology for complementing policy evaluation. Data analysis was done by examining the distribution of narratives provided by the respondents and carrying out a thematic analysis in which emerging themes were used to produce a complex and coherent narrative of the discourse emerging from the case study site in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. The education system in modern Indonesia is marked by the tension between the centralized policy strategy of the Suharto period and the reactive strategy of Post-Suharto decentralization. During his current administration, President Joko Widodo promulgated education policies focusing on basic education reforms in five major areas, namely (i) facilitating the expansion of education facilities across Indonesia through the public and private sector (expansion of facilities and infrastructure in terms of quantity and quality), (ii) making basic education more affordable and accessible across regions and social-economic indicators (accessibility), (iii) improving the quality of educators, service and outputs in basic education (quality), (iv) increasing the relevance of basic education to the demands of tertiary education, the labor market and local economic development (relevance), and (v) good governance and accountability of Indonesia’s basic education system (accountability and public responsiveness). In conjunction with the government and the market in education, indigenous social and political groups have played significant roles in developing the secondary education system in Indonesia. Moreover, these groups have also improved pupils’ performance and pupils’ learning outcomes by improving the extent and quality of the services they provide in comparison to those provided by public schools run by the government. Individualized services which cater to the needs, backgrounds and interests of the consumers have had profound impacts on enrollment, retention, motivation and pupils’ character, knowledge, technical competence and competitiveness. This makes the education system more engaging, empowering and inclusive while taking into account its comprehensiveness. This also aids in promoting learning communities for complementing the government induced education system, for protecting children and for providing a holistic and integrated education services.

Tertiary education in Nigeria has been facing challenges of quality that become a serious concern to the entire citizens particularly stakeholders for that it is the tool relied upon for growth and development of the country. This study aimed at exploring institutionalised ethical issues in Nigeria’s tertiary education system and inductively speculate whether they are capable of posing a threat to the expected quality for effectiveness. Qualitative method of research was employed in the study using interview protocol to 18 participants drawn purposively from regulatory agencies of the tertiary institutions by their categories, other governmental agencies that make policies and or have necessary stake in tertiary education, and a randomly selected tertiary institution each from the four broad categories. After applying thematic techniques of analysis from the raw interview data collected, themes were identified that confirmed existence of ethical issues condensed in mutilated funding, corruption, autonomy factor, institutionalisation of tertiary education, politicisation and marketisation in the tertiary education sector. Presence of the institutionalised ethical issues raised is a shared responsibility of all stakeholders, and consequential resistance is seemingly difficult. It is therefore concluded that by their strength, the issues are capable of weakening the normative quality of Nigeria’s tertiary education as defined by the National Policy on Education (NPE), hence the need for a realistic improvement.

In addition to influencing students’ knowledge base, thinking abilities and skills; university education offers the opportunity to promote other aspects of students’ growth as people. University education has an important role in shaping our future society because today’s university students will be tomorrow’s doctors, engineers, business managers, teachers, faith leaders, politicians, citizens, activists, parents and neighbours. While they need to be able to demonstrate key skills and knowledge to enact those roles effectively, they must also demonstrate personal and social responsibility in carrying them out. While much of the current political discourse about higher education is instrumental and economic, this paper aims to lay the foundation for a discourse based on student development. Data was collected through focus group discussions with students in the various colleges in Evangel University, Akaeze - Nigeria, in-depth interviews with lecturers, administrative staff and document analyses of conference papers and journal articles. Findings reveal that the quality of tertiary education is influenced by socio–cultural, academic, economic, policy, political and administrative factors all of which are inextricably interwoven. In this case, the argument is for leadership of teaching and learning for the purpose of promoting students’ holistic development. The discussion of the findings is based on the findings on a wide range of related literature on learners’ challenges in other universities in Nigeria. The paper concludes that the quality of higher education in tertiary institutions is influenced by factors that have their roots in commercialization, general funding, and human population growth. It was recommended that appropriate policies and indigenous professionals (both academic and administrative) are necessary for improving the quality of higher education in tertiary institutions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to identify similarities and differences between domestic and international student’s expectations of their tertiary experience, as well as the way in which they evaluate the quality of the service that they receive from their tertiary provider. The paper develops an augmented model of service quality which is adapted to suit the tertiary education context. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopted a qualitative research approach. A total of six focus groups were conducted with a total of 36 International students and domestic students. All students were enrolled in the third year of an undergraduate degree at one large metropolitan university in Australia. The data were analyzed using qualitative analytic techniques and coded using NVIVO. Findings – First, the study found that there are significant challenges with regard to the use of student expectations as the foundation for assessing students’ service quality evaluations. This is because students were found to have vague expectations, and limited prior experience of the service from which to shape their expectations. In addition students were found to form their expectations as they consumed the service, throughout their degree program which often spanned three to four years. Second, the study found that traditional dimensions of service quality were not sufficient to capture the depth of international and domestic students’ service evaluations. The study proposed the inclusion of an additional two service quality constructs, namely, social benefits and co-creation/participation. Originality/value – Two new dimensions of service quality emerged from this study, “Social benefits” and “Co-creation/Participation”. The study therefore suggests that the tertiary experience should be enhanced through the provision of additional opportunities for student to staff and student to student interactions. In addition, tertiary institutions should also enhance opportunities for engagement within both the academic and industry environment.
