Goals And Objectives

The inability of contemporary Islamic higher institutions of learning to produce human capital of the “right mind and sound thought” has cast doubt on the goals and objectives of Islamic Universities of the present milieu. The purpose of this article is to critically analyze some issues and challenges of quality assurance confronting Islamic universities and propose a quality assurance model that stems from leadership concepts rooted in Qur’anic tenets. Admittedly, some of the written goals of contemporary Islamic universities with respect to quality assurance had been partially fulfilled. However, compared with other contemporary universities, quality assurance in Islamic universities has not lived up to expectations, especially in terms of creative innovations and inventions that are beneficial for all humanity. These weaknesses could be attributed to lack of leadership quality to spearhead innovative projects, and subsequent brain drain due to the exodus of bright Muslim minds migrating to ‘greener pastures’. Finally, we discuss strategies for improving quality assurance in Islamic universities, with special emphasis on good governance and leadership.   Abstrak   Kekurangan upaya institusi pengajian tinggi Islam kontemporari melahirkan modal manusia yang mempunyai “minda yang betul dan pemikiran yang sahih” telah menimbulkan keraguan terhadap matlamat dan objektif universiti Islam masakini.  Perubahan adalah satu kemestian. Tujuan makalah ini adalah untuk menganalisis secara kritis tentang beberapa isu dan cabaran jaminan kualiti yang dihadapi oleh universiti Islam dan mencadangkan satu model baginya yang terbit daripada konsep kepimpinan yang berakar umbi daripada al-Qur’an.  Memang diakui bahawa beberapa matlamat bertulis universiti Islam kontemporari berkaitan jaminan kualiti telah separuhnya dipenuhi.  Bagaimana pun, apabila dibandingkan dengan universiti kontemporari yang lain, jaminan kualiti universiti Islam masih belum mencapai apa yang dijangka, khususnya dalam kontek inovasi dan penciptaan yang kreatif, yang amat berfaedah kepada semua manusia.  Kelemahan-kelemahan ini boleh disabitkan kepada kelemahan kualiti pimpinan universiti bagi merintis projek yang inovatif, dan seterusnya ketandusan tenaga pemikir kerana penghijrahan beramai-ramai oleh Muslim yang bergeliga kepada tempat yang lebih subur.  Kertas ini menawarkan strategi untuk mempertingkatkan jaminan kualiti di institusi pengajian tinggi Islam, dengan penekanan khas terhadap kepimpinan dan tadbir urus yang baik.

Academic Programme

Philosophy as an academic programme is very young in higher institutions of learning in Nigeria. Third World developing countries usually have concerns other than the teaching of philosophy on their agenda when trying to disburse their meagre resources for the educational sector. They would want to clothe, feed, house and provide medical care for their teeming populations first, and then people who want to T philosophize can do so. So their priority in the area of education is not I for people who will split hairs over words and concepts and theorise about lofty ideals—the popular image of the philosopher—but for the training of agriculturalists, technicians, doctors, engineers and others who can contribute much more tangibly to the development process. For this reason, many people regard a department of philosophy in a university as a luxury item which developing countries can ill afford. For this reason too, the philosophy department, usually the latest arrival in its faculty, is added as an appendix and is the first to be eyed when a scraping becomes necessary in the face of reduced subvention to the institution.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand what the Nigerian graduates are passing through, most especially graduate of library and information science programme of Nigerian tertiary institutions. Findings: The statistics of unemployed graduates in Nigeria as at 2011 showed that a disheartening figure of 42.7 million with over 1,8 million graduates churned out of our higher institutions yearly. It was further revealed that the unemployment rate in Nigeria stood at 38 percent in 2013 with further increase expected in succeeding years. The slow rate of economic growth and undeveloped private sector, faulty manpower planning, high expectations of the fresh graduate attitude towards some types of jobs, recruitments, the quest for higher education, inadequate educational curricular, immobility of labour, the long period of initial unemployment among graduates of higher institution, use of capital intensive technology, wide rural-urban migration Conclusion: It is evident that entrepreneurship education is important for Library and Information Science students in higher institution of learning. The training of Library and Information Science students must reflect the 21st century development in the field which is influenced by the emergence of Information Technology, hence, Library and Information Science students must have computer proficiency, familiarity with metadata, database management and application, web development and design, knowledge of electronic resources and services

Nigerian foreign policy is a tool use by the country to achieve its national interest. The country’s external policy has been tailored to be Afrocentric since its independence in 1960 which shows the commitment of Nigeria towards Africa’s stability and development. The principles of Nigeria’s foreign policy and its Afrocentricism has consistently operated by the government of the country irrespective of whether it is civilian or military administration. The notion of four concentric circle of Nigerian foreign policy where the country considers its national interest and the interest of its neighbouring States first, the West African sub-region, Africa’s interest and the interest of the world, have accrued numerous benefits to the country. The benefit of Nigeria’s Afrocentric policy has enormously assisted the country’s image internationally. This has invariably promoted Nigeria’s influence during global decision making. The study makes use of systems theory that viewed an individual or group as an ecosystem with moving parts that affect each other. Meaning that, if any part of human body is suffering from pain or any deficiency, the entire body will be feeling pain which can make the whole human body to malfunction. Likewise Nigeria, if any African country is in a crisis, all countries in Africa should look for a way-out to rescue the situation. The study therefore is qualitative in nature that employs the use of both primary and secondary data source. Twelve respondents were interviewed from various higher institutions and government agencies, and the data was analyzed thematically through Nvivo 10.

Macroeconomic Determinants

The Brain Drain (BD) is a cynosure of all the eyes because it has become a grave issue for Pakistan. Every year, thousands of students graduate from colleges and universities. Our markets cannot accommodate such a huge number of graduates so; these people prefer to migrate to other parts of the world. This paper attempts to investigate the factors affecting brain drain in Pakistan by utilizing the data for 1990 to 2018. Indices of variables are constructed in this study to measure the potential of factors causing migration from Pakistan to other developed economies. Secondary data has been taken from the World Development Indicator (WDI) and the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment (BEOE). This study finds that in long run governance, financial stability, the standard of living, and infrastructure have a negative and significant impact on the dependent variable (Brain drain). Social openness does not show a significant impact on brain drain in the long run. This study concludes that brain drain in developing nations is a serious matter and it should be addressed on a priority basis. This study helps policymakers to develop policies to reduce the migration of highly skilled labour.
