The Right

It has long been known: high-quality education, the possession of practical knowledge among the population is the key to the successful development of any country. This applies to all sectors of the economy, especially the scientific and technical sphere. Countries of the Scandinavian region actively use this axiom in their activities. In particular, Sweden launched a chain of reforms in the educational and scientific sectors more than 30 years ago, which today led to the emergence of a highly developed intellectual society that evolves based on quality education and professional knowledge. Such a society is uniquely able to build an innovative state of modern design that clearly addresses all the challenges. The key place of education and knowledge getting in Sweden, as well as around the world, is higher education institutions. A hundred years ago, Sweden was a poorly developed country, which occupied the last positions by almost all criteria, both at the global and regional levels. However, everything changed with the beginning of economic, social, educational and scientific reforms. High-quality education, practical knowledge, human “capital” took first place in importance for the Swedish authorities, and this was a turning point in the history of this country. The right decisions at the right times led to hundreds of thousands of foreign citizens rushing into Sweden to study and work. To later, after some time, build an innovative society in their countries. Sweden, as a result, received a solid basis in the field of science and innovation. And, as a result, a high level of commercialization of its own developments and technologies. The number and quality of research and development work is constantly growing, the level of scientific work allows their authors to become the best in their fields of research at the regional and global levels. All these results became possible thanks to a whole complex of complicated decisions, reforms, but the main factor in this process was the active involvement of higher education institutions in the scientific process in Sweden.

Do So

Albania is looking to take its place within Europe. To do so, the nation needs to develop more skilled and educated working population. Following the political and economic changes of 1991, the system of higher education in Albania has not necessarily been adequately organised or capable of providing a sufficiently high-quality education. This paper will present some information on higher education (including degree and diploma programmes) in Albania during the transition and in the present day, and give attention to the development of higher education in the country and conclude with some suggestions for improving public universities and education infrastructure and increasing the quality of the experience undergone by both students and academic staff.

High Quality Education

The purpose of this chapter is to challenge the Western education system to better understand the needs of international students, particularly from Asian countries. Higher education has become a big business, and many schools have popped up to meet the demand. North America's traditional universities are now well and truly dependent upon international students to fund full programs, and universities have come to rely on international dollars. International students are looking to the West for high-quality education, but may arrive in the West unprepared to face the challenge of writing advanced academic essays.

Critical Requirement

The purpose of this chapter is to argue that higher education institutions (HEIs) in doing quality assurance (QA) must focus on the critical aspects of quality assurance, the need to look at the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges facing HEIs regarding quality assurance. It is assumed that institutions should carry out quality assurance and accreditation processes for stakeholders to have confidence in them. It also explains in detail what quality assurance and accreditation must entail in higher education institutions (HEIs). The need to maintain high-quality education standards becomes a critical requirement for HEIs to remain competitive in the education sector market. This chapter follows a qualitative approach in exploring quality assurance and accreditation in HEIs. Data will be collected through literature review. Quality assurance and accreditation in HEIs must aim to maintain and raise the quality of education and to guarantee the improvement of its standards.

This chapter focuses on the importance of budgets in higher education and their role in advancing civic engagement on college campuses. In a period marked by calls for societal change following the 2020 presidential election, the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, higher education may be the only institution left to respond to society's ills. Institutions must find ways to deliver high-quality education safely, while also encouraging active civic learning as a part of the experience. Higher education's investment in civic education will be a key component to any response to the challenges facing America. Institutions must prepare to respond in kind during a period marked by financial uncertainty.

In realizing accessibility and equalizing of high-quality education and relevant to community interests for progress, independence, and prosperity. The government is obliged to increase access and learning opportunities at universities and to prepare intelligent and competitive Indonesian people. There is no term “poor children are being banned fromschool or college” in this country. Those who are less able and have achievements, must continue to advance to higher education through the Indonesian Smart College Card or KIP- College from the Government. This research is to create a decision support technique in determining KIP-College recipients using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method so that it is right on target. Besides that, it is also to assist operators in determining KIP-College recipients, especially in processing and selecting data for parents who are truly from underprivileged economic classes.

High Quality Education

This paper discusses the details of the associative link between the structure of economy and the quality of higher education for Russian regions. Such a link facilitates the interplay between the sectoral structure of a regional economy and its higher education system. This kind of economic policy is consistent with a number of theoretical views on the role that human capital plays in the process of economic growth. On top of that, the paper provides an approach which helps in identifying the directions of development of both the system of higher education and the economic structure of the respective region, as well as coordinating these two processes. In addition, we characterize the complexity of each regional economy and the development of its higher education system. The corresponding indicators complement broadly accepted metrics, such as GRP per capita, which help distinguish between regional economies. In particular, the measure of economic complexity reflects how complex, on average, the industries producing the respective GRP level are. In the paper, we also identify a positive association between the complexity of regional economies and the quality and diversity of higher education programs at the regional level. Nevertheless, a number of regions stay apart because their higher education systems are relatively more advanced compared with the level of complexity of their economies. This result lets us suggest a discussion about the main goals of the regional system of higher education. The provision of training to meet the demands of the local labor market is an important task of the education system. However, a high-quality education system can in itself be considered as a sector of the local economy which is important to develop. Moreover, a high-quality education system facilitates labor mobility, providing better access to better jobs.

Choice of profession is a social phenomenon that every person has to face in life. Numerous studies convince us that not only the well-being of a person depends on the chosen work, but also his attitude to himself and life in general, therefore, the right and timely professional choice is very important. Research about factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions in Ukraine shows that self-determination is an important factor in the socialization of young person, and the factors that determine students' career choices become an actual problem of nowadays. The present study involved full-time and part-time students of Institute of Philology and Mass Communications of Open International University of Human Development "Ukraine" in order to examine the factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions (N=189). Diagnostic factors of career self-determination of students studying in the third and fourth year were carried out using the author's questionnaire. Processing of obtained data was carried out using the Excel 2010 program; factorial and comparative analysis were applied. Results of the study showed that initial stage of career self-determination falls down on the third and fourth studying year at the university, when an image of future career and career orientations begin to form. At the same time, the content of career self-determination in this period is contradictory and uncertain, therefore, the implementation of pedagogical support of this process among students is effective.
