Aim/Purpose: The aim of this paper is analysis of applicants for study at the University of Economics, Prague (UEP) that are coming from foreign countries. The second aim is to learn the graduation rate of foreign students. Background: Knowledge about applicants results are important for changing entrance exams according to the changing situation in high school education systems and according to the changing requirements coming from teachers at UEP. The background question is, if the both components of entrance exams should have the same significance. Methodology: Entrance exams results were analysed for 2009-2016 period. We used standard statistics methods supported by the IBM SPSS tool and Microsoft Excel. All data were processed by way of Microsoft SQL Server. We analyzed the faculties that require Mathematics and English entrance exams. We are comparing mainly results of applicants from Russia and Vietnam. For graduation rate estimations the logit model approach has been applied. The data for our analysis came from UEP information systems and hard-copy applications and were then set anonymous. Contribution: Detailed analysis of situation at the UEP and guideline on how to process similar research at another universities. Paper offers comparison of Russian education system results in Mathematics and English with the education system of Vietnam. Further contribution is for Vietnamese potential applicants for study in the Czech Republic. Findings: Based on our analysis, we concluded that total number of applicants for studies was 109,996 students at the UEP during the analyzed period and applicants from Vietnam 1,686 and from Russia 7,227. For studies were accepted 717 applicants from Vietnam (42.5%) and 1,986 applicants from Russia (27.5%). We were also able to prove a slightly positive correlation between the number of points obtained for the English entrance exam and the mathematics entrance exam. However, this correlation goes slightly downhill over time. Further findings are from logit model of correlation between number of obtained points and successfully studies completion. The border for effective acceptance of students from this data set is approximately 170 obtained points in entrance exam. Recommendations for Practitioners : This analysis offers results of entrance exams on UEP from English and Mathematics. Recommendation could be held in comparison of education systems efficiency in Russia and Vietnam in these two areas with reflection requirements on students of economy at University of Economics, Prague. Recommendation for Researchers: The way of analysis, number of analyzed sample, final data and conclusions from this research. Using logit model for study success rate modeling. Offer for cooperation in analysis of entrance exams data queues. Impact on Society: Comparison of entrance exams results on University of Economics, Prague between Russian and Vietnamese applicants for study in the area of economics. Comparison of education systems effectiveness in Vietnam and in Russia in relation to economics studies in EU country. Future Research: Process this analysis in longer period and extend for another countries and nationalities. Next step planned for this is year is analysis of relation among results of Mock Entrance Exams – Entrance Exams – Study Results. This is long-term plan. In next 5 years, we should be able to answer question if there is some probability, that students failed during standard entrance exams when these students pass mock exams for example because he was in stress?

This paper analyses associations between performance on the entrance exams and subsequent academic performance at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). Results clearly indicate that minority students catch up with other students while attending the university. For those who entered this institution in 2009, when the first stage of the selection process was UFMG´s own exam, the Portuguese, Mathematics, and Science exams had a larger predictive power, while the humanities and foreign language exams showed non-significant results or played smaller roles in predicting GPA outcomes. For those who were selected in the entrance exam of 2012, when the National Exam of the Secondary Level (ENEM) was used as the first stage of the selection process, all four exams (Language, Mathematics, Humanities, and Science) showed positive and significant results. In addition, the second stage of UFMG´s exam had a greater predictive power when ENEM was used as the first stage of the selection process.

<p>Many universities all over the world use entrance exams as a tool for filtering and selecting applicants to their courses. While entrance exams provide a standardized testing mechanism, it is not clear whether they are a predictor of the student’s future performance at the university. As an initial investigation, the author found and analyzed a raw dataset of students’ entrance exam scores and their performance in the university during the first three semesters. The author carried out statistical analysis for the entire cohort and also according to gender. The analysis was carried out using Matlab. The analysis carried out shows that for the given dataset, there is no correlation between entrance exam scores and university scores. Also, there is no significant difference in the performance at the entrance exam and university scores, between male and female students.</p><p> </p>

The article presents the study results of the effectiveness of managing the higher education system using the experience of leading countries of the world. The higher education systems of the United States, the UK and Sweden were chosen as the objects of study representing the North American, European and Scandinavian models of education. The educational organizations of the above countries traditionally hold the leading positions in the world ratings, including the rating of the national education systems Universitas 21, rating of the world's academic universities and ranking of the best universities in the world according to the Times Higher Education version. The official data of the leading world ratings in the field of education were analyzed, as well as the distinctive features of the educational policy of the United States of America, the UK and Sweden were identified, on the basis of which factors ensuring the high efficiency and competitiveness of the higher education system in the global educational service market were stated. Among the main factors are the following: high government spending on the education system, increasing the accessibility of higher education for the population, ensuring high quality educational services, export orientation, etc. The system of indicators has been formed to assess the effectiveness of managing national educational systems. The dynamics of coefficient of higher education propagation in the period within 1970-2014 has been illustrated; the forecast of involving the population of the leading countries into the higher education up to 2050 has been presented. It has been stated that in the developing countries the problem of higher education can be solved due to its accessibility and in the economically developed countries it is solved due to increasing the quality of educational programs, rising the number of educational trajectories and costs.

There is no special university entrance exam for gifted students in Turkey. Their only option is to complete the standard university entrance exam at the end of their final year in high school. This system of entrance exams does not benefit gifted students. Other universities around the world support such students in the following two ways: through honor programs and early college entrance systems. This paper examines these two types of programs that support gifted students, and it employs a cross-cultural comparison between Turkey and the United States, China, and Finland. Furthermore, the paper proposes a multi-step model for educating gifted students and for improving the university entrance exam process. The new type of entrance exam that we propose could be employed in Turkey to support gifted students entering university. By implementing the proposed university entrance system, gifted students will become more effective in life for themselves as well as society.

In The Higher Education System , Burton Clark provides a model for the organisational analysis of higher education institutions and systems. Central to the model are the concepts of knowledge, beliefs and authority. In particular, Clark examines how different interest groups both inside and outside the university shape and subvert the management of change. Within the university, Clark notes the tensions between the 'enterprise' and the 'discipline' and at the system level between the state authority, the market and the academic oligarchy. In considering the applicability of Clark's model to an understanding of today's higher education systems and institutions, one can note a weakening of boundaries both within higher education institutions and between them and other institutions of society. Arguably, there has been a lessening of the organisational distinctiveness of universities and an invasion by the language and ideas of the business world. The broadening of the social functions of modern higher education systems may be one of the reasons why academic authority seems to be subject to greater external challenge. Nevertheless, much of Clark's analytic model remains highly relevant to our understanding of higher education systems and institutions even if their empirical manifestations have changed over the intervening years. Clark's model shares much in common with a more recent analysis of the changing relationship between higher education and society conducted as part of a recent project of the European Science Foundation, although changes in emphasis and in authority relationships are also revealed.

The study tried to analyze the implication of one year of online education in the Romanian education system. To achieve this goal, the authors of this study analyzed all the levels of education, primary education, lower secondary education, upper secondary education, and even the early childhood system, but also one of the smallest Romanian universities, considered representative for grade 1 universities representing 60% of the Romanian universities. The study is based on four online questionnaires for investigation, first with more than 2500 respondents from the primary and secondary Romanian education system, and the other three applied to more than 800 students and professors from the University of Petroșani. The investigation took place during 29 January 2021 and 11 February 2021. The authors had investigated the main feature of a standard online or a classical e-learning solution, such as the meeting solution or the video conference software, the collaborative work, such as homework or projects, and the testing method or the quizzes from both perspectives of the students and of the professors. The study results could influence the expected future hybrid educational system because these results were not covered in the previous literature but proved to be necessary for relevant knowledge strategies to be implemented in the new pandemic and also in the future context.

The article goal is to demonstrate the possibilities of the approach to diagnosing the level of IT graduates’ professional competence, based on the analysis of the student’s digital footprint and the content of the corresponding educational program. We describe methods for extracting student professional level indicators from digital footprint text data — courses’ descriptions and graduation qualification works. We show methods of comparing these indicators with the formalized requirements of employers, reflected in the texts of vacancies in the field of information technology. The proposed approach was applied at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Tyumen. We performed diagnostics using a data set that included texts of courses’ descriptions for IT areas of undergraduate studies, 542 graduation qualification works in these areas, 879 descriptions of job requirements and information on graduate employment. The presented approach allows us to evaluate the relevance of the educational program as a whole and the level of professional competence of each student based on objective data. The results were used to update the content of some major courses and to include new elective courses in the curriculum.

In Vietnam, since 2015, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has decided to abolish university entrance exams and advocates the use of high school graduation exam results of candidates for admission to go to universities. The 2015 and 2016 exam questions for the Math exam are the essay questions. From 2017 up to now, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has applied the form of multiple-choice exams for Mathematics in the high school graduation exam. There are many mixed opinions about the impact of this form of examination and admission on the quality of university students. In particular, the switch from the form of essay examination to multiple-choice exams led the entire Vietnam Mathematical Association at that time to send recommendations on continuing to maintain the form of essay examination for mathematics. The purposes of this article are analysis and evaluation the effects of relevant factors on the academic performance of advanced math students of university students, and offer solutions to optimize university entrance exam. The data set was provided by Training Management Department and Training Quality Control and Testing Laboratory of the University of Finance – Marketing. This dataset includes information about math high school graduation test scores, learning process scores (scores assessed by direct instructors), and advanced math course end test scores of 2834 students in courses from 2015 to 2019. Linear and non-linear regression machine learning models were used to solve the tasks given in this article. An analysis of the data was conducted to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the change in university enrollment of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training. Tools from the Python libraries have been supported and used effectively in the process of solving problems. Through building and surveying the model, there are suggestions and solutions to problems in enrollment and input quality assurance. Specifically, in the preparation of entrance exams, the entrance exam questions should not exceed 61-66 % of multiple choice questions.
