To respond to the needs of IR 4.0, universities must continue to play their role as proving ground for educating the future generation and innovation. However, close collaboration with industry and stakeholders will be even more important to implement Education 4.0. Many of the components of IR 4.0 already exist in the Malaysian higher education system, but perhaps in separation such as soft skills that IR 4.0 demands have already been introduced to higher education in the country. In the context of demanding requirements of IR 4.0, it is important to look back on how the delivery of soft skills can be made more effective. Efforts should be made on how to make digital or even data literacy more accessible to the overall student regardless of discipline. Hence, the need for human resources in the key technical areas in IR 4.0 such internet of things (IoT), big data and analytics, cloud computing, virtual/augmented reality, and robotics should be assessed. This chapter will focus on integrating IoT in higher education.

The study is focused on translation technology within the system of higher education in Poland, specifically English Studies offering translation specialization at BA and MA level, as well as postgraduate studies aimed at translators of English. The conducted analysis of translation curricula of Polish universities investigates the presence of courses devoted to the use of translation technology and seeks to determine whether such courses are offered at a given level of higher education, where in the system most of the courses are placed, and when they are mostly organized. First, however, a brief overview of different aspects determining the inclusion of translation technology in curricula are discussed. Here, the main stress is placed on its importance for the translation markets, the skills and knowledge obtained by students entering the market which are desired by translation agencies, elements affecting the selection of given translation software, the necessary infrastructure to run such courses, the costs of the programmes, ‘human resources’, the policies of universities, etc. The short discussion is followed by an analysis of the available courses, with each section devoted to one of the levels of the Polish higher education system, namely BA, MA and postgraduate studies. The courses within each level are briefly compared to provide some general tendencies for each type of studies. The final, concluding part of the study summarizes the results and stresses the need for further introduction of translation technology into translation curricula.

The funding of the higher education institutions and its efficient management affects the functioning of the whole system. The level of development of an education and science has an important role in the economic development of the country. Georgia has enough potential to achieve economic development by intellectual and educated human resources. Despite the reforms implemented in the recent years, there are still many shortcomings and challenges left in the education system that are hindering the creation of well-educated and competitive human resources. Without strengthening the education system, it is impossible to participate in a global competition. The increasing of financing of the education system over the years does not mean raising the quality of education. Developing the correct strategy and tactics of the reform and adequate and efficient distribution of financial resources is crucial. The aim of the paper is to study impact of the existing funding policy on higher education system in Georgia. The structure and dynamics of the funding of the higher education institutions, the nature and importance of the already funded projects are examined in the study. The issue of promotion of development of education through the reforms implemented in the education system is also discussed and analyzed in it. The study is based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses. The recommendations issued within the framework of the study will support stakeholders to overcome the current challenges and improve financial management policy of higher education institutions.

Quality assurance is an important part of the higher education system which ensures that the effort to achieve quality is in accordance with the quality standards set by the government. The problem of the low quality of human resources of a nation is a manifestation of the inability of the quality assurance system to work effectively. Application of a model that is less effective in quality assurance, will have an impact on achieving the quality of Education. In Indonesia, various changes in the regulation of the quality assurance system began in 2006 - until now, basically both conceptually but not optimally in implementation. Internal and external quality assurance of higher education (HE) institutions has not produced satisfactory results, with the still low competitiveness of HE graduates and the competitiveness of the nation's human resources.

The Russian Federation is in the process of transition of the national economy to an innovative type of development. Unfortunately, this process is complicated by many negative factors, such as the aggravation of structural problems, a series of economic crises, a pandemic that occurred against the background of the spread of coronavirus infection, and many others. Higher education institutions are elements of the innovation infrastructure, on the one hand, and the subjects that contribute to its formation. With the reform of the Russian higher education system, and specifically with its transition to the Bologna model, there was a situation in which the progressive development of negative trends in the industry began. One of the most important problems that became more acute with the beginning of the reforms was the formation of human resources for higher education in the country. Many authors emphasize that with the penetration of service sector elements into the educational system, it lost its status, which later became one of the conditions for devaluing the value of the teaching profession in society. There is a reduction in the number of students and universities in the country, which leads to a reduction in the need for research and teaching staff. At the same time, there are irreversible changes within the personnel structure against the background of these reductions, mainly in the form of irrevocable loss of personnel from the higher education system and the lack of effective mechanisms for their replenishment. In the future, this will have a negative impact on the formation of the country's human resources potential, and as a result, may provoke serious problems in the transition of the national economy to an innovative type of development.

The proposed article considers the need to recognize the economic utility and social value of human resources, the development of which requires investment in comparison with other types of economic resources. The urgency of solving the problem of functioning of higher education system is dictated by the need to apply new approaches to the management of an educational institution. Successful companies focus their efforts on creating and developing a management system for educational institutions designed to work effectively with intellectual resources that are becoming less used today. All these circumstances explain the emergence of a special interest of scientists and practitioners in the management of intellectual capital and the effectiveness of the knowledge process. In this regard, there is a need for constant updating and change, which means that knowledge is always innovative. At the same time, the most interesting are the ways of transforming universities into a new type of organization focused on meeting the needs of the market, making a profit, developing innovative technologies, supporting high-tech research projects and managing them. Close interaction of business corporations with the University community, forms a diversified financial base, develops contacts with business, society and the state, and encourages the widespread use of initiative and support for innovation in the scientific and educational environment. The new conceptual approach has enriched the practice with progressive methods and technologies for managing people in a complex innovative environment. The priorities were flexible forms of labor use, continuous improvement of the quality of human resources, new approaches to organizing and stimulating labor, and addressing cultural and ethical factors of labor productivity and quality of life. The main components of scientific novelty are the regulation and mutual influence of the functioning infrastructure and the applied methodology of higher education.

Smart Educational Learning (SEL) has recently opened its ways in various changes in scientific discoveries, informatics, globalization, astronautics production, robotics, and artificial intelligence in the Higher Education System. In such an educational system, managing resources to increase education quality with an effective interactive environment has been considered a significant challenging factor for the Students and Teachers. Hence, in this paper, the internet of things assisted Interactive system (IoT-IS) for Smart Learning is used to measure the teachers’ and students’ performance analysis in the SEL platform. The psychometric processes with standards for effective teaching using smart educational learning tools have been discussed based on the higher education system requirements. Furthermore, an active learning strategy with an attention scoring method promotes students’ performance assessment in the higher education system using the interactive system. Facial expression detection and analysis are used and applied in online classroom videos in the SEL. Based on this detection and analysis, the attention of the students is observed. The experimental results show that the method enhances the student performance ratio of 98.5%, an accuracy ratio of 95.3%, an efficiency ratio of 96.7%, a reliability ratio of 93.2%, and a probability ratio of 94.5% compared to other existing methods.
