Higher education plays a crucial role in the economic and social development. In order to fulfill its role, mission, and vision, as well as enhance competitive advantages in the global integration context, universities have to put quality as the top priority. Recently, many universities nationwide have been developing quality assurance system, conducting self assessment, and pursuing accreditation in both program and institutional levels. This process aims at developing suitable action plan for quality improvement based on determined strengths and weaknesses. However, this process requires a huge effort to collect and analyze data. In order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency, the key performance indicators (KPIs) are proposed to evaluate the quality of higher education programs in many aspects. Those KPIs can be considered as a set of statistical measures of how higher education programs are performing. This paper, therefore, provides some general definitions and proposes some KPIs in order to measure the quality of higher education programs in engineering and technology. However, findings of this study can be used as references for other programs.

The results show that there are 332 Higher Education under the auspices of Kopertis III in the Jakarta Region, which consists of PT Private institutions in the form of Universities of 57 Universities (17.17%), in the form of 15 Institute institutes (4.52%), in the form of Colleges 125 (37.65%), in the form of academies, 121 (36.45%) and 11 polytechnics (3.31%). but the students are only 58.39% and the lecturers are 71.83%. Based on 7 indicators, the feasibility of teaching lecturers was only 37.65%, permanent lecturers were 67.82%, professorship professors were 3.59%, senior lecturers were 19.84%, and most teaching staff of SM graduates were 34.82% . Based on 5 composite indicators selected, the quality of PT is only 49.85, meaning less than half. Based on the results of the analysis of the authors, it is recommended that further research be carried out regarding PT data collection, especially lecturers with all the details and whether the composite indicators used are appropriate to measure the quality of PT.

Subject of this analysis is the higher education in Serbia, in which the dialectic of patriarchy and emancipation exists in a specific manner. The mentioned dialectic has represented a general locus of gender relations in contemporary time, but, however, has had different manifestations in different societies and various spheres of societal life in each society and globally. The background presupposition is that this dialectic has also been on agenda generally in contemporary higher education, but, again, with significant differences depending on historical-political-cultural specificities of particular educational modalities. Focus will be on the higher education in Serbia, which still has been significantly determined within all its dimensions with a patriarchal matrix. In spite of vivid emancipatory shifts in Serbian higher education, there has obviously still existed horizontal and vertical gender segregation, gender imbalance in governmental structures, gender blind curricula and textbooks for knowledge production. Strategic aims and paths of gender mainstreaming in Serbian higher education are considered in this article. Starting from the statement that this process presuppose all-encompassing structural changes, these authors offer the model of gender action plan (GEP), which could serve as the basis for creating policies of the higher education gender mainstreaming in Serbia. This model is based on action plans which have been developed in projects of European Commission (EC) and European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), and which imply - structural changes from ?above?, which then could initiate changes from ?below? for the purpose of gender mainstreaming and essential advancement of the quality of higher education.

Software Development Life Cycle

The present article describes setup, configuration and usage of the key performance indicators (KPIs) of members of project teams involved into the software development life cycle. Key performance indicators are described for the full software development life cycle and imply the deep integration with both task tracking systems and project code management systems, as well as a software product quality testing system. To illustrate, we used the extremely popular products - Atlassian Jira (tracking development tasks and bugs tracking system) and git (code management system). The calculation of key performance indicators is given for a team of three developers, two testing engineers responsible for product quality, one designer, one system administrator, one product manager (responsible for setting business requirements) and one project manager. For the key members of the team, it is suggested to use one integral key performance indicator per the role / team member, which reflects the quality of the fulfillment of the corresponding role of the tasks. The model of performance indicators is inverse positive - the initial value of each of the indicators is zero and increases in the case of certain deviations from the standard performance of official duties inherent in a particular role. The calculation of the proposed key performance indicators can be fully automated (in particular, using Atlassian Jira and Atlassian Bitbucket (git) or any other systems, like Redmine, GitLab or TestLink), which eliminates the human factor and, after the automation, does not require any additional effort to calculate. Using such a tool as the key performance indicators allows project managers to completely eliminate bias, reduce the emotional component and provide objective data for the project manager. The described key performance indicators can be used to reduce the time required to resolve conflicts in the team, increase productivity and improve the quality of the software product.

Education In India

Quality, as we know so far, was originally developed in the manufacturing industry. In the area of higher education, the adoption of quality control has been superficial and diluted by the exercise of academic . Further, the prevailing culture of universities is often based on individual autonomy, which is zealously guarded. Thus, it is usually difficult to apply the features of quality to higher education considering the fact that quality requires. However, the quality of higher education is very important for its stakeholders. Notably, providers (funding bodies and the community at large), students, staff and employers of graduates are. The most commonly grouped dimensions of quality are product, software and service. In the changing context marked by expansion of higher education and globalization of economic activities, education has become a national concern with an international dimension. To cope with this changing context, countries have been pressurized to ensure and assure quality of higher education at a nationally comparable and internationally acceptable standard. Consequently, many countries initiated “national quality assurance mechanisms” and many more are in the process of evolving a suitable strategy. Most of the quality assurance bodies were established in the nineties and after a few years of practical experience, they are rethinking many issues of quality assurance. At this juncture where countries look for experiences and practices elsewhere, the experience of India has many valuable lessons and this report is an attempt to share those developments..
