Europos komunikacijos ir švietimo politikos dokumentuose nuolat kalbama apie žiniasklaidos raštingumą, kaip būtiną sąlygą, ugdant aktyvius piliečius ir sąmoningus vartotojus informacinėje visuomenėje. Esminį vaidmenį sistemingame žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdyme atlieka formalioji bendrojo lavinimo švietimo sistema. Taigi, kyla klausimas, kokias kompetencijas turėtų įgyti būsimieji mokytojai studijų arba mokymų metu? Pagrindinis šio straipsnio tikslas – išsiaiškinti, kaip vykdomos universitetinių studijų programos žiniasklaidos ir komunikacijos srityje galėtų prisidėti prie žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymo programų aukštojo mokslo sistemoje.Autorės sutinka, jog žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymo programų įtraukimas į aukštojo mokslo studijų programas priklauso nuo nacionalinės žiniasklaidos ir švietimo politikos; jau vykdomų aukštojo mokslo bei tolesnio ugdymo programų; žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymo koncepcijos; vietinio žiniasklaidos konteksto.Remiantis žiniasklaidos ugdymo komponentais, autorės rekomenduoja žiniasklaidos raštingumo ugdymo modulių turinį būsimiems mokytojams. Tokiems moduliams sukurti, būtinos žiniasklaidos studijų ir pedagogikos žinios, kadangi visa programa pagrįsta žiniasklaidos ir pedagogikos diskursu. Media education as a part of higher education curriculum*Halliki Harro-Loit and Kadri Ugur SummaryEuropean communication and education policy documents repeatedly refer to media literacy as a prerequisite of successfully performing active citizens and conscious consumers in information society. Substantial part of the task to provide systematic media education lies on the formal school-based education system. Hence a question arises about the competences teachers should acquire at university or from further training courses. The aim of this article is to examine how existing university curricula on media and communication could contribute to the development of media education programs in higher education system.The authors take into consideration that the media education programs in curricula of a higher education system depend on the national media and education policy; already available programs in higher education curricula and further education projects; concept of media education in national curricula; local media context.Proceeding from the media education components the authors propose a possible content of media education modules that should be available for the students in teacher training. In order to create such modules media studies and pedagogy should be combined and the whole program should be embedded in the discourse of media and pedagogy.Key words: media education, media literacy, media education components, higher education curriculum, European communication policy

This paper focuses on the review of Indian university accreditation and ranking system and determining its efficacy in improving academic quality for achieving good position in global quality accreditation and ranking.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed exploratory research approach to know about the accreditation and ranking issues of Indian higher education institutions to overcome the challenges for being globally competitive. The accreditation and ranking parameters and score of leading Indian universities was collected from secondary data sources. Similarly, the global ranking parameters and scores of these Indian universities with top global universities was explored. The performance gaps of Indian university in global academic quality parameter is assessed by comparing it with scores of global top universities. Further, each domestic and global accreditation and ranking parameters have been taken up for discussion.FindingsThe study identified teaching and learning, research and industry collaboration as common parameter in the accreditation and ranking by Indian and global accreditation and ranking body. Furthermore, the study revealed that Indian accreditation and ranking body assess leniently on parameters and award high scores as compared to rigorous global accreditation and ranking practice. The study revealed that “research” and “citations” are important parameters for securing prestigious position in global ranking, this is the reason Indian universities are trailing. The study exposed that Indian academic fraternity lack prominence in research, publication and citations as per need of global accreditation and ranking standards.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation of this study is that it focused only on few Indian and global accreditation and ranking bodies. The future implication of this study will be the use of methodology designed in this study for comparing accreditation and ranking bodies’ parameters of different continents and countries in different economic development stages i.e. emerging and developed economies to know the disparity and shortcomings in their higher education system.Practical implicationsThe article is a review and comparison of national and global accreditation and ranking parameters. The article explored the important criteria and key indicators of accreditation and ranking that would provide an important and meaningful insight to academic institutions of the emerging economies of the world to develop its competitiveness. The study contributed to the literature on identifying benchmark for improving academic and higher education institution quality. This study would be further helpful in fostering new ideas toward setting up of contemporary globally viable and acceptable academic quality standard.Originality/valueThis is possibly the first study conducted with novel methodology of comparing the Indian and global accreditation and ranking parameters to identify the academic quality performance gap and suggesting ways to attain academic benchmark through continuous improvement activity and process for global competitiveness.

India may finally open its doors to foreign higher education institutions and investment. India's higher education faces severe problems of capacity and quality. This lack of capacity will affect India's new open-door policy. It will be unable to adequately regulate and evaluate foreign institutions. Though the system needs systemic reform, it is impossible for foreigners to solve or even to make a visible dent in India's higher education system.

The article systematizes information about the current cultural heritage programs in the Bulgarian higher education area. The data shows that in eleven Bulgarian universities a diploma of cultural heritage can be obtained. 17 master's and 3 bachelor's programs prepare over 500 students a year. Two doctoral programs are also accredited. The rich variety of curricula is an objective result of the complex structure of cultural heritage in itself. However, it is also an indicator for the fragmentation of the higher education system in Bulgaria. The conclusion proposes approaches to overcoming the mentioned fragmentation, as the interdisciplinarity of the scientific field requires pooling of competencies and efforts for better results.
