Author(s):  
Olga Kashtanova

The article recounts the history of celebrating the Day of National Education in Poland, which is marked on 14 October. On this day in 1773, the Education Commission — the first ministry of education in Europe — was created. In the context of the abolition of the Order of the Jesuits, who had played a major role in the development of primary and secondary education in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Commission faced the task of reforming public education and giving it a secular character. The reform of education in Poland was of great importance. An orderly education system emerged, subordinate to the state and of a secular nature. Some elements of reaching across the socio-economic classes were introduced. The education system created by the Commission was the basis for the development of education in subsequent years, when, after the final partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795 and until 1918, its former territories were ruled by Russia, Prussia (known as the German Empire since 1871) and Austria. A national holiday dedicated to teachers has been celebrated in the Polish Republic since 1957, every year on 20 November, the international day of the Charter of Educators. In 1972, a Teacher’s Day was officially enshrined in legislation, and its date was moved to 14 October to honour the creation of the Educational Commission. In 1982, the holiday was renamed the Day of National Education. In Poland, since 1997 International Teachers’ Day has also been celebrated on 5 October by teachers working in the field of higher education.

The article examines the history of the formation and development of University education in Russia during the reign of Alexander I. The author analyzes the key legislative acts and statutes of the Russian universities created in 1802–1805, as well as the reorganized in 1819 University of St. Petersburg. The article dwells on the history of Dorpat, Vilnius, Kharkiv, Kazan, and St. Petersburg Universities during the period of Alexander I’s reign. It is shown that as a result of the activities of the Emperor and his associates, a progressive harmonious system of education and higher education was created. The author traces how the educational policy began to change due to radically changed views of Alexander I in the last decade of his reign, which resulted in the clericalization of higher education, public education in general. The traditions initiated by M.V. Lomonosov were halted by the obscurantists and mystics. The universities were treated as hotbeds of freethinking, moral depravity, and philosophy was demonized as a source of spiritual contagion.

In order to revitalize Indian education system, the Government of India has recently approved National Education Policy-2020 (NEP-2020) and proposed sweeping changes including opening up of Indian higher education to foreign universities, dismantling of the UGC and the AICTE, introduction of a 4-year multidisciplinary undergraduate program with multiple exit options, and discontinuation of the M Phil program. It aims at making ‘India a global knowledge superpower’. In the light of National Education Policy-2020, agricultural education system needs to be redefined in India as it increases knowledge or information and farmer’s capacity to learn. As the level of agricultural education increases, farmers will become more and more self-reliant and will depend more on their self-studies dealing with farming. It is suggested that reorientation of agricultural higher education in context of globalization, food security, diversification, sustainability of ecosystems, and agribusiness is necessary. The curriculum of agricultural higher education needs to be made more broad based and manpower has to be trained scientifically in topics such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, agro-meteorology, environmental science, agro-ecology, computer application, information technology, conservation of natural and human resources, specialized job-oriented courses, and trade and export in agribusiness. Finally, adequate emphasis should be placed on practical skills and entrepreneurial capabilities among the students to achieve excellence. To properly address the challenges faced by today’s Indian agriculture, competent human resource in sufficiently large numbers would be required in the near future. There is a vast scope for young graduates to undertake agriculture as their profession which is directly or indirectly contributing to the economic and social development of the country.

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> </p><p class="RESUMENCURSIVA">As in many other European countries also Finnish higher education system has witnessed several reforms over the past decade many of which originate in efforts to make more competitive and affordable higher education system. The aim of this paper is to describe the changes and institutional mergers in particular that have taken place in Finnish higher education and explore what kind of academic identities are constructed amid changes in Finnish higher education. The paper shows that the mergers followed the objectives set by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture for the structural development of the higher education system and that the creation of a joint culture for merged institutions was important yet challenging. The paper also argues that due to these external changes in Finnish higher education there is a tendency to move from a traditional notion of an academic toward more hybrid and dynamic understanding of what it is being an academic in the 21st century.</p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p>
