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.

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.

Introduction. The strive for high quality of Russian higher education, puts an emphasis on seeking the ways to improve it in the line with the topical Global educational agenda. In the context of this study provision of high quality education is defined as managing students experience in and out of the classroom as an integrative whole which is indispensable for maximising educational outcomes. Though Russian universities have a steady intake of international students on mobility programmes, there are not enough studies modelling the application of these dimensions in Russian academic setting. The current study seeks for the pathways to overcome this gap.Aim. The article is targeted to rethink the strategy of managing high quality education for international students and to work out and test an integrated model for the educational quality enhancement regarding two critical dimensions of their university training in curricular-related and co-curricular areas.Methodology and research methods. Mixed research methods were utilised. Individual interviews and a survey with close-ended and open-ended items were used to find out challenging issues impeding the development of high quality education offered in curricular and co-curricular related dimensions. Classroom observation, peer experts opinions and content analysis of the courses taught and their outcomes evaluation were applied at the University of Tyumen, being 5-100 project participant, to indicate the components, pedagogical toolkit and competencies for high educational quality of international students.Results and scientific novelty. The developed integrated model for high educational quality provision included the main interrelated curricular and co-curricular components of quality enhancement. They involved the designed up-to-date academic Russian course; teacher-student interactive support, socio-cultural and intellectual engagement such as “buddy” scheme studentto-student support, discussion workshops on intercultural awareness of students and teaching staff. Teaching methods of reflection, critical analysis, confirmatory feedback, communities, project-based and action oriented learning, group discussions, language tandems were proposed. Major competencies for international students’ curricular-based and co-curricular educational quality were suggested: critical reading and reflection, academic writing, negotiating, argumentation, logical cohesion, intercultural and cross-cultural awareness, conflict avoidance, tolerance to ambiguity.Practical significance. The integrated model can be applied for road-mapping the action plan of international policy at any university in Russia to provide high quality education for international students.

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.

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.

Hierarchy Process

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.

Salah satu misi yang harus diwujudkan adalah mengupayakan perluasan dan pemerataan kesempatan memperoleh pendidikan yang berkualitas bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia. Dengan demikian, terwujudnya Perguruan Tinggi yang berkualitas adalah wajib hukumnya. Perguruan Tinggi merupakan suatu entitas yang terdiri dari berbagai sub sistem, di antaranya adalah perpustakaan. Karena itulah keberhasilan Perguruan Tinggi untuk meningkatkan dan mempertahankan kualitasnya, antara lain juga ditentukan oleh seberapa besar kontribusi yang diberikan oleh sub-sub sistemnya, termasuk perpustakaan. Besaran kontribusi terhadap upaya peningkatan kualitas Perguruan Tinggi berbanding lurus dengan kualitas penyelenggaraan perpustakaan. Terwujudnya penyelenggaraan perpustakaan yang berkualitas dipengaruhi oleh kondisi unsur-unsur perpustakaan yang ada, seperti sarana dan prasarana, pendanaan, koleksi bahan pustaka, kualitas pelayanan dan sumberdaya manusia.</p>

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.
