ABSTRACTThe following analysis aims to investigate the present and the future of the Ecuadorian university, its relationship to work, citizenship and identity, higher education and learning, knowledge ecologies to link research and teaching in higher education and the pre service education: policies, programs and practices. The information society and knowledge required of citizens better prepared and more committed to the environment in which they live and develop. Aware of this reality, the university must rethink the principles that led to its creation. Moving from theorizing (conceptualization - observation) to the practical (research - reflection – criticality - involvement) valuing and respecting diversity and multiculturalism in tandem to raise awareness on the social responsibility of their knowledge. This rethinking of contemporary university must analyse as proposed by some researchers (Montero, Patricio. 2010) the megas educational trends and challenges for higher education that have implications on key educational decisions related to the relevance and validity of higher education. In particular, for curriculum development, methodologies for both teaching and assessing also the management of teaching. 1.- Globalization marked by the knowledge society. 2.- Training for a highly dynamic interdependent labour structure. 3.- The survival of organizations depends on the knowledge possessed by its staff. 4.- Changes in the design of intelligent behaviour and productivity of people. 5.- Changes on the conception of learning, emphasizing the concern of internal processes of people for learning.RESUMENEl siguiente análisis pretende investigar el presente y el futuro de la universidad ecuatoriana: su vinculación al trabajo, la ciudadanía y la identidad, la enseñanza superior y el aprendizaje, ecologías del conocimiento en cuanto a enlazar la investigación y la docencia en la educación superior, así como el pre servicio de la educación: las políticas, programas y prácticas. La sociedad de la información y el conocimiento requiere de ciudadanos mejor preparados y más comprometidos con el medio en que les toca vivir y desenvolverse. Consciente de esta realidad la universidad debe de replantearse los postulados que la llevaron a su creación. Pasar de la teorización (conceptualización - observación) a la practicidad (inves-tigación – reflexión - criticidad- involucramiento) valorando y respetando la diversidad y la multiculturalidad a la par de concienciar en la responsabilidad social de sus conocimientos. En este replanteo la universidad de hoy debe de analizar, como lo proponen algunos investigadores (Montero, Patricio, 2010) las megas tendencias educativas como desafíos para la educación universitaria que tienen implicaciones en las decisiones educacionales claves vinculadas a la pertinencia y vali-dez de la educación superior. En especial, para el desarrollo curricular, las metodologías tanto para la enseñanza como para la evaluación y para la gestión de la docencia. Cinco son las que se plantean: 1.- La globalización marcada por la sociedad del conocimiento. 2.- Formación para una estructura laboral altamente dinámica e interdependiente. 3.- La super-vivencia de las organizaciones depende centralmente del conocimiento que posee su personal. 4.- Cambios en la concepción de comportamientos inteligentes y la productividad de las personas. 5.- Cambios sobre la concepción del aprendizaje, enfatizando la preocupación de los procesos internos de las personas para el aprendizaje. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Abstract Objective: The main purpose of this research is to analyze and reveal if the recent policy measures in higher education carried in European Union member countries have had a significant impact on the labour market integration of university graduates. Methodology: We selected a set of indicators that were common in the 2015 and 2016 editions of Structural Indicators for Monitoring Education and Training Systems in Europe and could offer an image of intensity of higher education policies in relation with labour market at European level. We further used these measures to test for any significant effects of the policies on the integration of graduates in the labour market. Findings: We found significant effects of various policy measures in high education in the European countries. We estimate a positive role for factors like monitoring of completion rates, requirements for the staff to have higher education, presence of educational guidelines, and recognition of formal and informal learning for entry in higher education. Value Added: This is the first study to address the impact of high education policies carried in European countries on the integration of college graduates. The study is distinct through both the design of new measures of higher education policy in Europe as well through testing whether the intensity of policies carried for higher education has affected the employability of young graduates or not. Recommendations: The results of this empirical research allow us to make some recommendations for improving the insertion of young graduates on European labour market.

The Impact

Drawing on educational census data and a review of news articles and higher education policies in Brazil, this article examines the impact of COVID-19 on the access and retention of the low-income Brazilian population in higher education. Guided by the question, “What is the impact of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable population in Brazil in terms of access to, and retention in higher education?”, the paper is structured in two sections: the first offers a short historical overview of Brazilian higher education; the second examines the impact of the pandemic on student retention in higher education, looking at factors such as social isolation, job and income precarity, use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), internet access, and technological resources. I argue that distance education offered by private higher education institutions benefits the privileged students and that the effects of the pandemic are detrimental to the socially disadvantaged students since those who are in public universities do not always have access to technology, and those who study in private universities feel the impact of not being able to pay tuition fees, besides the loss of several jobs in different sectors. In conclusion, I recommend policy initiatives to improve access to higher education.

PurposeThis article studies the tensions between universities' accountability and autonomy in response to the demands of public steering mechanisms coordinating higher education institutions.Design/methodology/approachDemonstrating the tension between accountability and autonomy, the impact and relevance of public steering mechanisms coordinating higher education are studied via a survey with selected representative Finnish universities. The response rate was an exceptionally high 94%. In addition to the statistical analysis of the survey, open-ended questions were also analyzed to give a more in-depth understanding of the findings. The study uses paradox theory and institutional complexity as its theoretical lenses.FindingsThe empirical analysis of this study shows a considerable gap between the experienced impact and the experienced relevance of the steering mechanisms in higher education. The authors’ further analysis of the open-ended data shows that indicator-based funding allocation has undermined the perceived university autonomy. The authors highlight the paradoxical tensions of university autonomy and higher education institutions' steering mechanisms' requirement for accountability. Finding an acceptable balance between accountability and institutional autonomy plays an important role in designing higher education policies.Originality/valueThe authors found that even if a steering mechanism is experienced as impactful, it is not necessarily considered relevant. One of the key aspects in understanding the reasons behind this mismatch is related to university autonomy. Most impactful steering mechanisms become considered less relevant because they also endanger institutional autonomy. In this sense, it could be expected that steering mechanisms should better balance accountability and autonomy.
