Today, universities are highly politicized mostly in all matters (Karim, 2007). The effects of political parties and their leaders spoil the strong educational system. Political interference ignores talented people and supports their political supporters. It’s impossible to separate politics from education in Pakistan. The education system of Pakistan is headed by a minister of education who is a politician, not an educator. The educational policies of the whole education system are overwhelmingly impacted by political policies and practices the ruling party. Accordingly the existing study was intended to reveal the affects of politics on higher education in Pakistan. Therefore this study concluded that politics is a major factor which influences and does sometime very immoral things. Moreover, these political leaders make a lot of corruption in education, especially in Higher Education. From educational budgetary allocation to spending on it, all​ is under control of politics.

The words university and higher education are often used indiscriminately. But Portugal has a two-pronged higher education system: universities and polytechnics have followed different ways. However, certain educational policies have produced a convergence in the direction of these subsystems, not in their policy and their missions — because they reflect different educational objectives — but in the trends associated with the supply of and demand for higher education. This can be the indicator of a change in social representations and cultural models with regard to these subsystems and, especially, the polytechnic subsystem, where more changes have occurred. It is our purpose to contribute to an enrichment of the state-of-the-art information on higher education and, specifically, polytechnic education in Portugal.

The Bologna Process

The integration and the enhanced cooperation with Europe in the sphere of higher education have become and remained an important component of the European integrative intentions of Ukraine. For many years, our state has been an important strategic partner for Europe. Since gaining independence, the government of Ukraine has constantly declared the will to implement the European principles in all spheres of the social life. The sphere of education and science was no exception. Through many years in Ukraine, the process of reforming both the educational system as a whole and higher education system in particular is still in progress. These reforms continue in difficult times for our state. The authorities and the governments are changing, but all of them have been declaring “the European choice of Ukraine”. It is clear-cut that the process of reforms, transformations and innovations is complicated, often painful and is perceived ambiguously by society. However, it is obvious that one way or the another, but the Ukrainian educational system needed to be reformed, updated and modernizated. In 2005, our state became an official participant of the Bologna Club by signing the Bologna Declaration, which gave rise to the Bologna process – the process of creating a united European educational space. The main principles of the Bologna Process have been and remain the following principles: the establishment of similar, understandable and accessible educational standards, mutual recognition, the intensification of academic mobility and academic exchanges, the development and the financing of various educational projects, programs and grants, the creation of conditions for the formation of a common market, the enhancement of the competitiveness of European educational system. As part of the Bologna process, our state entered a new phase in reforming the education system. First of all, the reforming of the higher education by committing itself to gradually move to the European educational standards, introducing the basic principles and elements of the Bologna process. The article examines the main stages of the reform process of the Ukrainian higher education system within the framework of participation in the Bologna process, describes the legal and regulatory framework for the transition of the national higher education to European educational standards, justifies the importance and perspective of educational reforms on the path to European integration.

The modern educational system has a peculiarity: acting as a user, it simultaneously stimulates the development of information and digital technologies. This characteristic is especially come out in the higher education system. At the same time, despite the objective and subjective attractiveness of modern information and digital technologies, it is necessary to realize that their adaptation is, although effective, but still an auxiliary tool in the organization and implementation of the educational process. The introduction of information technologies into the educational process makes it possible to significantly enrich the process of transferring knowledge from teacher to student, to facilitate understanding of complex topics, to level the repetitive monotony in the classroom, to increase the motivation of educational activities, to intensify the activities of students in the classroom, to form a conscious attitude to the educational process, etc. At the same time, the use of information and digital technologies should be justified, logically expedient, designed to complement (and not replace) the teacher's activities in the classroom.

In recent years, the system of higher education has undergone significant changes affecting the most important spheres of university activities: management of the educational process, its organization, which significantly changes the attitudes, incentives, motives and value system of the academic staff. In a number of cases, as a result of reforming the management system there are created special conditions that affect the quality of educational services. The task of investigating the consequences of the ongoing reforms is being actualized in order to identify the main factors that restrain the growth of quality. To solve this problem there has been made comparative analysis of the quality of higher education in Russia and abroad. Significant reserves of its growth in Russia have been revealed. There had been proposed a classification based on the scope of action: factors that operate within the educational system, but are external to the higher education; factors that are external to the educational system as a whole; factors acting within the system of higher education. The most significant external factor for the educational system is the low innovative potential of the economy, underestimation of the quality of education by business, which determines the aim of the majority of students not to build up human capital, but to obtain a diploma with minimal expenses. The factors intrinsic to the educational system, but external to the higher education system, include the lack of interest and unpreparedness of school teachers for working with gifted students, which is primarily due to the use of the results of the General State Examination and Unified State Examination for evaluating their work . The main negative factor operating within the higher education system is the distortion of teachers' incentives, the increase of their opportunistic behavior caused by the transition to a new management system for higher education organizations.

This chapter traces the development of Vietnam's education system when the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) took over. At the time, the Ministry of Education (MOE) continued the French-style centralized educational system. Other developments included an overwhelming preponderance of college-preparatory high schools and a dichotomy of one system for technical agricultural schools and another for university in higher education. The chapter shows that it was during the early years of the RVN that the RVN's first educational guiding principle emerged, which was nationalism. However, education in general did not undergo significant changes for the newly formed republic, which faced multiple reorganizations and political realignments. The education system continued to be viewed as a legacy rather than a Vietnamese system that would serve the needs of Vietnamese society. This began to change in the 1950s, when it was established that Vietnamese education should be “nationalistic,” “humanistic,” and of “open mind for changes.”

There is no doubt that the Vietnamese higher education system is in need of serious reform. Corruption is epidemic, and actions must be taken to change the environment in which these practices flourish. The recent decision by the Ministry of Education and Training to adopt new, stricter measures on national exams and the increased media attention on corruption are steps in the right direction. If Vietnam desires to obtain an international standard educational system, required reforms are necessary from all parties. Perhaps, most importantly, there must be a monumental change in the attitude and thinking by students, faculty, and parents. Education is a right and privilege that is earned, not a commodity to be sold by administrators and faculty.
