The objective of this work is to identify the schemes, sources and financing instruments available for university entrepreneurship in Mexico from the change of federal government on December 1, 2018. The methodology applied for the development of this work consists of a review of the National Development Plan with the objective of identifying the plans, strategies and lines of action embodied in the document related to financing for university entrepreneurship. Subsequently, a review of the organizational structure of the current federal government was carried out to identify the entities and agencies whose functions are oriented to promote the economic development of the country through the granting of financing schemes for entrepreneurship and the form and requirements that must be met to access such schemes. The results obtained contribute to the strengthening of the applicable strategies of higher education institutions in terms of the entrepreneurial training of their students and, consequently, to the strengthening of the business ecosystem and economic development through the creation of employment-generating companies by the most trained agents.

Work-based learning (WBL) has a long history in higher education in Nigeria. The current WBL programs are the Students' Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) and the Graduate Internship (GI). They are sponsored by the federal government with the aim to improve employment outcomes. However, there is still a gross mismatch between the skills of graduates and the demands of employers. This chapter analyzes why the WBL programs in Nigeria have yet not been successful, and suggests alternatives. The analysis reveals a dysfunctional job placement process as a primary barrier and suggests consolidating the SIWES and GI into one school-to-work program, based upon the Graduate Employability Skill Development (GESD) model, along with strategies to improve the development, management, and quality assurance of placement. The chapter concludes by underscoring the integration and effective management of WBL at all levels of education, including continuing education as an important and realistic approach that Nigeria should strive for to attain economic development.

The paper aims to review public administration education in the higher education institutions in Bangladesh, and their role in ensuring modern public services. Most universities in the country offer public administration degrees; however, minimal contributions to nationbuilding have been observed. The study asks: what are the pitfalls behind this? How to address the limitations? This is a qualitative study with gleaned data, using inductive content analysis to investigate the phenomenon with three case universities indicating the link between curriculum and learning delivery at the universities in Bangladesh. The research finds that poor development-oriented public administration education has little correlation to national development. The education system is traditional, where typical cultural features are nonchalance and indifference towards domestic demands. The discipline cannot create a distinctive identity and position in academia, which has consequences for the advancement of the administrative system in a developing country like Bangladesh. A research-informed curriculum with innovative pedagogical approach might be an alternative. The paper enlightens both academics and practitioners, as literature on public administration education in Bangladesh has been scarce. It calls for higher education institutions to reassess public administration education, teaching methods and research for national development.

Research Commercialization

The ultimate aim of this investigation is to determine the significant contribution of research commercialization of Higher Education Institutions in Region XI on their economic sustainability and commitment to economic development of the region. Using mixed method via triangulation technique, the study infers that the mindset of the respondent universities is not yet for research commercialization. This inference is drawn from the following findings: there are enough inventions and innovations in universities but their research commercialization is less extensive; the degree of the contribution of research commercialization to their own economic sustainability is low at 14.6% but is statistically significant. The level of their commitment to economic development of the region is high but the degree of the contribution of research commercialization to such commitment is very low at only 7.3% and not statistically significant. This means that 85.4% of economic sustainability of universities and 92.7% of their commitment to economic development of the region are contributed by other factors aside from research commercialization. This implies that any increase in the level of research commercialization will have a corresponding effect on the level of its contribution to the universities’ own economic sustainability but not to their commitment to the economic development of the region.

Public educational policies, together with the university, expand subsidies to civilizational progress and national development. Around the world, universities began to participate in actions aimed at meeting the goals of Sustainable Development driven by initiatives supported by the United Nations. This article aims to identify, through scientific bibliography, the implementation of the theme: sustainable development in higher education institutions in several countries. This is an integrative review, carried out on the databases: Web of Science and Scopus. The descriptors and strategies used to search the databases were: sustainability AND universities AND sustainable development AND higher education; the terms translated into English and the Boolean 'OR' were used for all descriptors. After evaluating the selection criteria, a total of 34 articles were selected for the study. The results have shown that the practice of including the theme develops slowly and progressively in higher education institutions. It is concluded that sustainable development is a theme that requires multidisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, and interdisciplinarity since it adds the need for knowledge and attitudes that enhance work between managers and teachers in the academic scenario. The partnership between universities, government, and companies can be an essential factor in the integration of sustainable development in higher education institutions, mainly in developing countries, and that many studies and advances are necessary for sustainable development to be carried out within a dynamic conception in universities.
