Abstract - Institutions of higher learning face a new situation on higher education. It holds some novel threats and presents some fresh opportunities. Given the uncertainty of the future, collage and university administrators cannot allow their organizations to drift. This study assessed the managerial skills development of the administrators of the five (5) well-established private institutions of higher learning in Batangas, Philippines. A combination of descriptive-purposive research design and survey method was used to determine the managerial dimensions exhibited by the administrators. Mean, Likert Scale, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and and Bivariate Correlation were used. There is no significant difference in the assessment of the three groups of respondents in terms of communication skills and solving problems effectively. However, there is a significant difference in terms of self leadership, managing the task effectively, managing the people effectively, and managing interpersonal relations effectively. There is a very high significant relationship among all the managerial skills dimensions required of the institution administrators using the same managerial dimensions. The managerial skills of the administrators have to be enhanced to improve the quality of people in the institution. The Proposed Executive Development Program and Training Model are strongly recommended. Keywords – managerial skills, institution of higher learning, private institutions, education

Definition Of

The advancement of European dress to the rest of the world was linked to the definition of civilization as “a stage of social development considered to be more advanced” and “polite and good-mannered”. The widespread of their fashion style in the 19th and 20th centuries influenced the way the rest of the world attire. The fashion trend and dressing style thus change the purpose of dressing through time. The dressing style in campuses especially in private institutions of higher learning is under particular scrutiny, as it is often said to be inappropriate for a learning environment. This study looked at the importance of moral education, and its role in implementing the dress code for students among university students especially between two types of university i.e. public university and private university. It looked on the dressing style of students, both male and female, and the factors that lead to their dressing pattern which is common among students. This study also advocated the students’ understanding of the content of dress codes in their learning institution and the role played by moral education in regard to dress code. The overall study highlighted students’ perception towards the implementation of the dress code and punishment in their learning institution. The methodologies used to carry out this study are questionnaires and interviews. This study will therefore ascertain the important of dress code among students at higher learning institution and the role of moral education in cultivating values in order to dress properly or decently. Key Words: moral education, dress code, higher learning institution, civilization.

Institutions Of Higher Learning

Since early 20th century, there is greater mobility among academicians in the private institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. The high turnover is the result of economical and social changes in the country. With globalization, Malaysia has now become a hub for international education. This has led to the growth in private institutions of higher learning. With the vast increase in such institutions, employees today have greater opportunities to job hop for various reasons. This research paper investigated the emerging trends in job hopping and the reasons behind it. The reasons were attributed to intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors. The research further investigated whether there are differences in the trends between the various age groups; Baby Boomers (48 years and above), Generation X (33-47 years) and Generation Y (32 years and below). The researchers were motivated to do this research due to the increasing concern over the drastic mobility that is taking place in the private institutions of higher learning. The sample for this research comprised of 100 academicians working in private institutions of higher learning. Participants were given questionnaires to obtain responses on the intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors leading to their decision to job hop. The selection of participants was based on a purposive sampling method as the researchers wanted to obtain responses from the three categories of generation. The findings proved the key hypothesis of the research which is; firstly, there is a trend in the job hopping exercise in the private institutions of higher learning and secondly, there are differences in the trends between the three categories of generations. The researchers went on to offer practical suggestions to the private institutions of higher learning and the Ministry of Human Resources in Malaysia to establish guidelines and policies to ensure that the job hopping practice is kept to the minimum.

Within the short span of twelve years since their rise to power in 1949, the Chinese Communists have completely revamped their educational system. Private institutions of higher learning have been abolished and the number of universities vastly reduced; in their place hundreds of technical institutes have been created, with an unprecedented increase in enrolment and graduates. The faculties of various universities and colleges have been amalgamated in an effort to train more and more scientific and technical personnel. New types of instruction, known as “specialty” (spetsial'nost) and “specialisation” (spetsializatsiia), have been introduced to accelerate the training of industrial experts. Emphasis on science and technology has completely replaced the traditional respect for the humanities; the highest learned organisation in Communist China today is the Academy of Sciences, and not the Academy of Letters (Hanlin Yuan) of Imperial China. A Twelve-Year Science Programme was adopted in 1956 with the avowed objective of producing 10,500 top scientists and some two million technicians by 1967, and towards this end a new University of Science and Technology was established in 1958.

According to the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), 32% of American manufactures reported that even during the height of the recession, they had unfilled job openings. The reason cited for this phenomenon was that American manufacturers were unable to find workers with the skills they required. The inability to close the gap between the managerial skills American manufacturers want and the skills available in the workforce continues to hinder the hiring process. In an effort to understand the disconnect, this study was conducted among manufacturers with facilities located in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan areas to determine the skills most sought after by manufacturers as they attempt to hire recent college graduates. The results revealed a shift away from the traditional skill focus of engineering curriculums toward a more rounded skill set - one relying heavily on a host of people skills and a sophisticated understanding of the cross functional relationships that exist between traditional disciplines. The study also revealed that manufactures are placing an increased emphasis on outside certifications as a way to reduce expensive in-house training costs. Finally, employers are looking to institutions of higher learning as leaders in their effort to provide the skills graduates need to succeed in manufacturing.

The Islamic Civilisation and Asian Civilisation (TITAS) course is offered as a compulsory subject in Malaysian institutions of higher learning (IHL) to expose undergraduates to the world and regional civilization history. In addition, it is aimed at inculcating ethnic tolerance among university students in aspects of diversity relevant to the context of Malaysia with its diverse races, ethnicities, and religions. This study sought to investigate the effectiveness of the TITAS course in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) as a medium for the inculation of ethnic tolerance and also to identify the necessity of continuing to offer TITAS as a liberal course in the Centre for the Promotion of Knowledge and Language Learning (PPIB) in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). The survey method was utilized and a questionnaire that had been adapted to suit the research objectives administered to 475 undergraduates enrolled in the TITAS course during their first year of studies. Descriptive analysis of the findings suggested that TITAS should be continued in PPIB so as to maintain its role as a medium for the inculcation of ethnic tolerance among undergraduates.
