Higher education; university is an aspiration for the Malaya citizens, especially to those with higher education background. Hence, the establishment of a university is considered as a golden opportunity to the youth of Malaya to continue their studies to a higher level back home. The initial recommendation to establish a university in Malaya was raised in 1938 under McLean Commission Report. This study analyses the issues raised and recommendations proposed under the report towards establishment of a university in Malaya. As such, qualitative method applied in designing the research as analyses were done through sources extracted from British government’s official documents, personal letters as well as available books and publications; mostly newspaper articles from the colonial era. The findings indicated the existence of weaknesses in the education provided in Raffles College and King Edward College. Moreover, the problems highlighted by the commission are among the issues that need to be address beforehand, in order to establish a university in Malaya. However, those issues might have been mitigated earlier and would have made the university establishment in Malaya possible, if the British government have had an ongoing evaluation in place post the establishment of Raffles College and King Edward College.. This research will be benefitting interested scholars by adding value to the available literatures and background resources on higher education in Malaya. Apart from that, this research will be an indicator to measure the development of higher education in Malaysia thus far, benchmarking the weakness reflected in the report as Malaysia craft path towards attaining global standards.

Professor Coutu is to be commended for synthesizing in a brief paper a great many insights bearing on the management of teaching, research and extension in the next decade. As a discussant, I feel much as a blind man trying to describe the Taj Mahal—I can only reach so high. The future is as yet unknown and any predictions are at best pretty wild guesses. But there are insights gleaned from the past that can guide us in anticipating the future.In developing his anticipations, Professor Coutu drew upon several important sources of information, including his personal observations on the status of the university, his recent research on organizational structures used by the University of North Carolina system to manage research, and the Carnegie Commission report on higher education.

Roll Back

Niraja Gopal Jayal examines the politics of India’s higher education. She revisits the Rudolphs’ (1972) seminal study which explores the politicization of higher education, including the state’s active role during the early decades of the post-colonial era. Jayal highlights the irony that at a time when neoliberal ideologies suggest the roll back of state intervention and the diminution of the political sphere, higher education has become more politicized than ever. Jayal’s discussion of increased regulation by the University Grants Commission, the All India Council for Technical Education, and the Ministry of Human Resources shows how these agencies have hamstrung higher education in recent years. In the name of accountability, the Indian state has increasingly micromanaged higher education in ways that have limited academic freedom and, all too often, substituted partisan for public interest.

The Indonesian Smart College Card Program is a program that provides tuition assistance from the government for high school/vocational graduates who have good academic potential, but have economic limitations and want to continue to a higher education level, either D3, D4 and S1. KIP was created by the government as a complement to the Bidikmisi program, which aims to help the poor to continue to receive higher education. This study aims to look at the implementation of the Indonesian Smart Card program at the University of Riau and the factors that support its implementation. The research method used is descriptive qualitative method and uses the theory of policy implementation according to George Edward III which consists of several indicators, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of this study are the finding of deficiencies that are a concern for improvement, namely in the socialization so that the implementation of the KIP program has not run optimally at the University of Riau. The supporting factors in the implementation of the KIP program at the University of Riau include communication between implementers, human resources, budget resources, equipment resources, authority resources, dispositions, and bureaucratic structures. Researchers provide suggestions that communication, especially socialization can be improved so that the implementation of this program can run optimally.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

For over two centuries, the College was the characteristic form of higher education in the United States, and the College was closely allied to the church in a predominantly Protestant land. The university became the characteristic form of American higher education starting in the late nineteenth Century, and universities long continued to reflect the nation's Protestant culture. By about 1900, however, Catholics and Jews began to enter universities in increasing numbers. What was the experience of Jewish students in these institutions, and how did authorities respond to their appearance? These questions will be addressed in this article by focusing on the Jewish presence at the University of Illinois in the early twentieth Century. Religion, like a red thread, is interwoven throughout the entire fabric of this story.

In this article, the author explores the concept of terquedad or waywardness as a blueprint towards gender/queer justice in education. Using María Lugones’s (2003) theorizing resistance against multiple oppressions, the author presents Gloria Anzaldúa’s' writings in Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) and This Bridge Called My Back (1981/2015) as a project of storying the plurality of terquedad. In doing so, the author calls for a theory and praxis of terquedad as a framework to understand the embodied resistances queer and trans-Latinx/e students deploy as textual inconveniences to push back and resist the “institutional grammars” of U.S. universities (Crawford & Ostrom, 1995; Bonilla-Silva, 2012). Through a plática methodology (Fierros & Delgado Bernal, 2016), the author introduces Quiahuitl, a doctoral student engaging with a praxis of terquedad when confronted with institutional and sexual violence as she moves within and against the geographies and power structures of the university.

Social Constructivist Learning

In recent years, providing higher education in the form of work-based learning has become more important in the higher education (HE) policy and practice almost in all EU countries. Work-based learning (WBL) in HE should support the development of competences of self-guided learners and adjust the university education better to the needs of the workplace. The study is based on two pilot projects of WBL in HE in Estonia: Tourism and Restaurant Management professional HE programme and the master’s programme in Business Information Technology. The model of integrative pedagogy, based on the social-constructivist learning theory, is taken as a theoretical foundation for the study. A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with the target groups. The data analysis used a horizontal analysis to find cross-cutting themes and identify patterns of actions and connections. It appears, that the challenge for HE is to create better cooperation among stakeholders; the challenge for workplaces is connected with better involvement of students; the challenge for students is to take more initiative and responsibility in communication with workplaces.
