Selection Of

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.

Selection Of

Chile has a peculiar centralised system for the selection of students to undergraduate programs; this is the case for the more traditional universities associated in the Council of Rectors. This process has been in operation for over thirty years, and its major instruments and procedures, as well as its foundations, are still in force. The contents of the different tests are currently under review; however, the system will continue to be the same in the future. Changes come from the new conditions created by the 1981 reform of the Chilean higher education system. Important modifications were introduced in the constitution, organization and financing of universities. The university system was suddenly opened; from the original eight universities, the system expanded to sixty-five. New conditions and social, professional and technical demands are having an impact on the higher education system as a whole and, specifically, on the student selection processes. This article includes a description of the process of academic selection for entrance into the Chilean university system. Next we analyze the Test of Academic Performance (PAA), the main instrument of this selection. Finally the PAA is analyzed and criticized from two points of view: its psychometric relevance and its implicit model of intelligence.

Structural Problems

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.

New Approaches

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.
