As India is rich in talent, lagging in research and poor in finance, authors sincerely appeal UGC, NAAC, NPTEL, IIT, AICTE, IISER, IISc and administrative institutions like IIM, UPSC and Supreme Court core committees to take initiative in implementing and maintaining industrial and research oriented certified online audio-visual interactive degree courses across the Indian boundaries. Benefits and implications of this scheme are: 1) Distance education system, Open education system and Open book exam etc can be eliminated. 2) High quality research orientation can be inculcated among teaching staff. 3) Experimental approach and industrial orientation- both can be implemented and maintained simultaneously. 4) Educational stress on teenage students and financial burdens on parents - both can be eliminated. 5) Reservation issues pertaining to caste and seat allocation can be eliminated. 6) Degree level scholarship schemes can be eliminated. 7) All educational institutions can be encouraged to tie up with online degree system with unique pattern and quality and can be forced to focus on laboratory activities rather than teaching. 8) Current educational staff can be classified into five broad categories as Education wing, Call center wing, Research wing, Oration wing and Industrial wing. 9) Students lagging in grasping the key technical points can listen & watch the recorded and edited information several times for a better understanding and thus doubts, subject fear, back logs and detaining issues can be avoided to a great extent. 10) By maintaining educational call centers, interaction with students can be established and online degree courses can be strengthened further. 11) With recorded and edited lab experiments and 3D modeling tools, virtual laboratories can be developed and thus awareness can be inculcated in students on knowledge acquisition on various experiments and experimental setups. 12) As there is no restriction on available number of (electronic) seats, stress oriented and suicide provoking complicated entrance exams can be relinquished. 13) Poor students, Female students, male and female job holders, physically handicapped students and students not interested to attend colleges can get better education in this scheme. 14) For maintaining this online degree system across India, there seems a big scope for new employment. 15) By 2040, India can have a leading role in world science, engineering and technology. Even though the proposal under consideration is interlinked with many political and social issues, with reference to 'Vision2040' program, this proposal can be given a chance in Indian higher education system.

The article presents the main directions of the transformation of the Polish higher education system to meet the growing needs of the national economy and the labor market. It is emphasized that the state reforms of higher education aimed at improving the quality of education and its orientation to the growing new society were carried out in line with the Bologna process. Characteristics of the most important principles for the creation of a single pan-European educational and scientific space are given. The process of creating state higher professional educational institutions, which have become an addition to universities and polytechnic institutions, has been considered, due to which the population’s access to free higher education has increased. The specific differences between the educational programs of Polish higher vocational schools and unified university programs are assessed. It is shown that, in accordance with the principles of building a unified European educational and scientific space in the country, unified university programs are divided into two- and then three-level cycles. Particular attention is paid to the functioning of the management systems of the process of improving the quality of higher education, presents an analysis of internal and external systems, as well as criteria for parametric evaluation of the quality of the learning process. The leading role of teaching staff in the formation of a quality culture of training is substantiated. The maxims of the teacher of the higher school are given. It is shown that the parametric assessment of the quality of teachers’ work contains both formal legal and thematic elements. Teachers of Polish universities are subject to parametric evaluation at least once every four years, the criteria and procedure for evaluation are defined in the charter of the training organization. Regardless of the official certification, each university teacher exercises self-evaluation with the help of a multi-criteria scale. It should be emphasized that the work of the university teacher on improving the quality of higher education is largely individual, and at the same time regulated by law, both national and EU. Legislation defines the rights, tasks and responsibilities of teachers and quality standards are defined in this area.

Education Process

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused restrictions and shutdowns affecting all industries worldwide. The scope of the steps taken to prevent the spread of the pandemic, universities in Turkey also began to provide distance education in March 2020. This process has provided an important experience in which the education system is questioned on the basis of educational infrastructure, lecturers and students. The experience of a nationwide transformation in such a short period of time in the education system is considered to be unique. In this study, it is aimed to create a decision support document by compiling this valuable experience and suggestions for further improvement of the higher education system. In this context, the opinions and recommendations of teaching staff regarding the distance education process were taken with the help of surveys which were responded by 744 lecturers from 84 universities of Turkey. As a result of the study, it was seen that factors such as the type of university, distance education experience, and age make a difference in the views of the lecturers towards distance education. In addition, the determinations and suggestions of the instructors that they stated by openended expressions were compiled under main headings. This process experienced offers an important opportunity to question the current educational structure and to improve it further. As also stated in the survey results, it is predicted that the weight of distance education in higher education will also increase at post-pandemic term. Therefore, it is thought that the necessary steps should be taken in the light of the experiences in order to make the next process more efficient

The article is devoted to the key subjects of educational policy, on which the quality of the educational sphere depends. One of these subjects is teachers of higher educational institutions as a special social group, which has a leading role in shaping the intellectual, professional and scientific potential of society. A lot of research is devoted to the problems of teachers, but the issues of their self-identification remain relevant and, at the same time, insufficiently studied. The capacity of narrow professionals to solve the complex tasks of social life is insufficient. Another key subject of educational policy is the state as a guarantor of quality higher education. In most European countries, the state, due to historical traditions and resources, remains the main guarantor of the national education system. In the article, on the basis of our own sociological studies conducted in one of Moscow universities among teachers and students, as well as a secondary analysis of sociological research data conducted in a number of regions and universities of the country, some problems were identified that prevent the creation of an effective management model in the field of education.

Ethnic Minority Women

The aim of this article is to discuss the position of ethnic minority women (Hungarian, Slovak, and Romanian) in relation to their career-building in the Serbian higher education system and reaching decision-making positions (such as rector, vice-rector, dean, head of department, etc.). The author defines two hypotheses: (1) that there are invisible biases (gender-based, ethnicity-based, and segregation-related) in the sciences that put ethnic minority women in a challenging position when attempting to build a career in academia, and (2) that these women encounter a glass ceiling when trying to reach more senior positions. The analysis is based on 16 semi-structured interviews conducted with Hungarian, Slovak, and Romanian female teaching staff employed at two Serbian universities. Intersectionality as a theoretical framework and method was used in the analysis of interviews, along with narrative analysis. Analysis of the interviews showed that ethnic minority women adopt specific strategies when discussing and explaining their difficulties and opportunities in the higher education system of Serbia. The intersectional analysis indicates that ethnic minority women struggle with invisible biases at the individual level, and, due to the horizontal segregation in sciences, have to overcome a situation of double jeopardy in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) studies. The findings suggest that women from ethnic minorities face a glass ceiling in relation to obtaining decision-making positions. Namely, such positions are usually only guaranteed to them within their own ethnic enclaves at departments with majority female staff. However, positions higher than these are rarely attainable.

Problem and purpose. Digital transformation is a key trend of the economic development. Russia still lags behind countries leading in the digitalization. Insufficient development of relevant skills is one of the constraints. The share of Generation Z (born in 1996 and later) will achieve 25% of the labor force by 2025. This statement emphasizes the need to develop competencies for the younger generation that respond to the requirements of the digital economy. The purpose of the study is to assess the contribution of the Russian higher education system to the reproduction of the juvenile potential of the economy in the context of its digital transformation, to identify constraining factors and develop basic recommendations aimed at eliminating them. Materials and methods. The study is based on the use of economic and mathematical methods, including factorial, correlation and regression analysis. The dynamic series of indicators characterizing the state of the investigated sphere in 2001–2019 have been studied. For analytical data processing, the software capabilities of the Statistica package are used. Research results. The author's system of indicators has been developed, which makes it possible to assess the role and capabilities of the higher education system for the reproduction of the juvenile potential of the digital economy – 18 indicators characterizing the financial and material-technical, intellectual, educational potential, the coverage of young people with higher education programs, the effectiveness system of higher education. The formula for calculating the integral indicator of the juvenile potential is mathematically substantiated. Modeling of the dependence of the integral indicator on a set of influencing factors has shown that with an increase in the number of teaching staff by 1 sigma, the integral indicator of juvenile potential will on average increase by 1.758 sigma while fixing other exogenous variables at a constant average level; with an increase in the number of personal computers used for educational purposes by 1000 students per 1 sigma, the integral indicator of juvenile potential will, on average, increase by 1.078 sigma, while fixing other exogenous variables at a constant average level. Discussion and conclusion. The study showed that for the formation of the juvenile potential of the digital economy of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to develop the human resources of higher education and its digital environment. To solve the designated tasks, a system of measures has been developed.

An analysis of different aspects regarding the creation of networks within the Croatian higher education system is presented in the paper. The larger part of the paper refers to the analysis of public services in general and the network approach in public administration in particular. The state of the higher education system is presented through the inclusion of market and network principles and the establishment of numerous actors in this field by which effectiveness of this field of public administration is trying to be improved. The aim of the detailed examinations is to pro-vide an overview of all relevant actors whose interactions and roles resemble network-like relationships. To examine the starting hypothesis that neo-managerial approach leads to networking within the higher education system, an empirical study was conducted at the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek, Croatia among the teaching staff and students. The final chapters of the paper present and discuss research results which principally support the initial assumptions.

The Prestige

The problem of transformation of the higher education system in the Russian Federation in terms of developing scientific and pedagogical potential is quite acute. Copying the Bologna system without adapting to the Russian reality led to the formation of destructive consequences for the system of reproduction of scientific and pedagogical personnel of the country. Negative trends in the number of higher education institutions, demographic waves accompanied by a decrease in the number of students, changing market requirements for the value of higher education and its formalization have led to a reduction in the need for research and teaching staff. Among other things, the prestige of the higher school teaching profession has significantly decreased in society, which has become an additional factor for reducing the interest of talented young people in the teaching profession, and without the influx of talented creative personnel into the research environment, the country's human resources potential in general also falls, as well as its innovative potential. Many scientists negatively assess the reformation in the higher education system of the Russian Federation, focusing on criticism of changes that forced higher school teachers to work to achieve rating indicators, rather than developing their own intellectual potential and teaching. They negatively assess the Western experience in implementing generalized education standards, which, first, in Russia were not adapted to the country's original culture, and secondly, led not to solving problems in the higher education system, but to their aggravation.
