How to enhance and maintain quality of education in Nigerian University education system has become one of the central issues in educational assessment and evaluation. It is important to note that no nation can rise above the standard of her education. The quality of education in Nigeria is presently rated as low. Many scholars have observed that many graduates are unemployable because they lack relevant and required skills. Therefore, this paper examines the present educational quality in Nigeria, reasons for the current trend, assessment issues, advantages and disadvantages of computer-based tests in the university system, recruitment of staff without thorough assessment and politics of accreditation in Nigeria. It was concluded that the quality of education in the University system can be enhanced and maintained through qualitative assessment. Also, there is the need to review the process of recruitment of staff, accreditation procedures, monitoring and evaluation of standard as well as students’ assessment practices.

Abstract The university education in Romania is facing various challenges, from the pressure to reach a balance between teaching activities, research and services for the society, to little funds and a decrease of the interest of teachers with doctoral degrees in the teaching career. The quality of the learning the students receive is dependent on the quality of the teachers the university system employs. The right human resources for the right jobs means, in the long run, not only saving money, but also investing in the future of the Romanian society. The teachers working in the university system of education need to be not only highly skilled, but also extremely motivated. Our paper focuses on some of the things and changes that could be taken into account in order to retain and recruit the best teachers in whose training a lot of investments have already been made.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to history's most significant educational disruption, affecting nearly 1.6 billion students in more than 190 countries and all continents. Closures of schools and other learning spaces have impacted 94 per cent of the world's student population, up to 99 per cent in low and lower-middle-income countries (UESCO CONCEPT, 2020). Like all countries in the world, Armenia has not escaped the damage caused by the pandemia. The impetus for the implementation of such a program has come from the initiative of the UNESCO's Associated Schools Network (ASPnet), which aims to raise awareness in the current COVID_19 epidemic and to study the education processes and conditions, quality of education, as well as advantages and disadvantages of distance learning in the general education system. This study aimed to contribute to achieving the 4th goal of sustainable development in the general education system in pandemic conditions. During the program, students were introduced to the difficulties and benefits of hybrid and distance learning, the importance of participation, the opportunity to self-learn, and the need for empathy and mutual assistance during COVID-19. UNESCO Associated and UNESCO Partner schools have been selected for participation in the research. These schools have actively participated in the previous projects implemented by UNESCO and have had involvement in different national and international projects. The project results showed that learning is more effective with the parallel introduction of distance and face-to-face (the traditional style) learning. Hybrid learning has ensured high student performance by solving modern organizational problems and using modern information technologies.

Introduction: The article is devoted to the use of e-learning as a form of implementation of innovations in the university, which allows to improve the quality of education through the use of rapidly growing world educational resources and due to the fact that the use of e-learning elements and distance learning technologies increases the share of independent work of students in mastering the material . As the author of the article shows: in recent years, global changes have occurred in the modern higher education of the Russian Federation. They were caused by the new demands of the state and society, as well as innovations in the country's economy. In modern higher education there is a need for the development of innovations and their continuous improvement.Materials and methods: the article developed the question of the introduction of e-learning in higher education. For this, the problems of creation, development and dissemination of pedagogical innovations were considered. Identified various aspects of studying the problems of education, which reveal the positive impact of information technology on the education system. The definition of innovation in the vocational education system is given as a result of practical and theoretical research, various developments in the field of vocational education, which lead to an increase in its effectiveness.Results: The article analyzes the use of electronic courses in the electronic educational environment of the university, which showed that the teacher’s readiness to use the electronic environment has increased significantly.Discussion and Conclusions: the article discusses the existing tools and technologies for the application of innovative teaching methods that have many advantages and their joint use makes it possible to simplify the learning process as much as possible, to make it more convenient and intensive. The electronic courses developed by university teachers in the electronic environment allow to improve the level of development and the quality of education of students in general.

University Quality

This paper was designed to take an in-depth look into the establishment and practices of university education in Nigeria from 1960 to 2015, to investigate the reality of what caused Nigerian university education to gradually decline. The paper takes a critical realism approach to reviewing the relevant literature in the field, and forming a base from which to answer the question of ‘why the hero fails’. Three major questions are raised, but not answered, in this paper, as three other papers focus solely on answering these questions. They are; where have things gone wrong? Where are things going wrong? and where may things continue to go wrong? This paper is particular about identifying areas where things are happening within the university sector. The findings reveal that not only is the quality of education declining, but human thinking on tasks, involvement/pro-activeness and funding are also declining, a major reason why Nigerians ignorantly give way to corrupt practices, which slip in like wolves and continue to devolve the system. The paper concludes that the best approach to the wider picture of what is going on within the university sector is to understand, and provide answers to, the three major questions above, in detail.  In order to overcome the problems caused, leading to the need to carry out this study, rebuilding is needed using a systematic approach to eradicating waste.

Linear Regressions

This article describes the preferences of the teachers working in the No. 9 School at the High School Education System of the University of Guadalajara, with respect to the different ways of defining the quality of education. This research establishes a relationship between teachers’ adherence to the concepts of quality and their attitudes towards some central features of the Reform of High School Education (RIEMS). We use multiple linear regressions with some dummy variables and stepwise procedures. The conclusions suggest that the teacher´s adherence to certain concepts of quality favourably influences the attitudes of the teachers towards RIEMS and, therefore, facilitates the implementation of this reform.

University education in traditional environment serves a very limited purpose in terms of the requirement of skill and knowledge in a specific job to deliver performance as expected in a highly competitive and dynamic environment. The traditional knowledge as given in university setup provides basic modules as per curriculum structure and content, and much depends on the teachers’ ability to impart knowledge and also on students’ ability to assimilate the same. Although that helps students to develop thinking abilities and also independent learning after completing the university programme, knowledge is expanding and becomes double almost every two to three years and our university education and academic programme are seldom revised. As such traditional learning is grossly inadequate to meet the demand of knowledge and skill to perform in a highly competitive commercial world. Besides, the quality of such education is also a big question mark. The traditional university system thus only creates unemployable educated manpower in our system. While corporations try to take students and graduates from the better known institutions and that too after thorough screening but for delivering the performance in business a constant learning, training and re-training are essential. In knowledge economy, organizations with better knowledge and skill are the only ones to survive; skill and knowledge level, therefore, are required to be upgraded continuously.

This research study is an exploratory study of value co-creation in the university education system in the context of its socio-eco-cultural conditions. Dynamic internationalisation of higher education and glocal economy radically influence the research outcome and it has implications to the global ranking of the universities. Internationalisation and ranking of higher education institutions are entwined and mutually influence. The global International ranking initiated in December 2003 by the finance ministry of UK become proxy to determine the quality of a university in recent times. National and regional socio-eco-political factors have also transformed the functioning of universities with respect to international student recruitments.  International students majorly contribute towards the fund for the university and economy of the country. University has mainly four key dimensions like student education, knowledge transfer, problem-solving, serving the society and economy. Even though the university is considered as a system, based on systems theory, harmonisation with the basic purposes of the university is human value. The societal need is to recuperate the vital inputs like students, teachers and the fund necessary for optimal performance of the university. The mechanism is evident from the Triple Helix Model [1], and Interdependence Model [2]. It led to research studies and models for university-industry linkages in a knowledge economy. SKIN (Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks) model attempts to improve our understanding of the complex processes in modern innovations, used by scholars to find solutions to complex challenges. Value creation in the university systems and the perception by peers deviate as per the quality of supply inputs. Research findings indicate that parameters used for ranking and accreditations enforce universities to focus on the value creation in the system, improving year after year. The findings emphasise to collaborate with researchers, educators, professionals and policymakers to empower universities to be able to meaningfully contribute to practical, need-based societal issues and elevate interest of scholars, professionals, policy makers and the industry. A holistic approach is needed for a trans-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approach in university curriculum that addresses the gap between research and education for co-creating values in the university system. Recently embedding Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) within the university system has started, which is a complex process. Achieving the objective in the changing structures, culture and practice of university system requires the forces of change being exerted by transposing the larger societal needs. In this research presentation, the authors have underscored blatantly a couple of main points. Firstly how the key findings for universities need to adapt in line with the international rankings and strengthen for value creation; which can transform universities; making them more responsible towards demands of society. The study thrives with reference to responsible research and innovation system as the key driver.  Secondly, the authors have highlighted the complexity and challenges universities are facing and how these could be addressed. The scrupulous approach to the facets of RRI, the new knowledge in the times of new global socio-economic environment gives a tangible and strong relevance to the implementation of responsible research and innovation.

A mathematical model is proposed, which allows to estimate the number of successful university graduates based on parameters characterizing the effectiveness of vertical (lectures, seminars) and horizontal (peer education) training. It is shown that with low effectiveness of vertical learning, an effective means of improving the quality of education in general is the targeted formation of horizontal groups within which information is exchanged. It is shown that with extremely low quality of vertical learning, the behavior of the “university” system is characterized by phase transitions: with a smooth increase in the parameter characterizing the intensity of horizontal learning, there is an abrupt increase in the number of successful graduates. It has been established that with the existence of pronounced links between individual lecture courses, the “university” system becomes an analogue of a neural network.
