Higher education for public solidarity with the action now

The so-called Social Dimension of the European Union (EU) is one of the important aspects of a student's point of view, the Bologna process. But the concept of what it means?

According to the ministerial conference held in London in 2007, the Social Dimension, reduce social inequality and social aspirations and encourages the knowledge, skills and competence level increases.

He also completed higher education at all levels and the social diversity in the covers.

It sounds like an ambitious plan, but it is a very complicated and perhaps a more unfocused. However, it is easy to understand why it is called a measure. All decisions about the impact of public education.

There are pros and cons to the empty set. On the one hand, it is a social dimension to their regional needs or circumstances allow for comments. Expected measurable operation steps are quite clear, on the other hand, because it could be an obstacle.

Singeing budget cuts to higher education institutions, the pressure to accomplish more in less time, they serve different purposes, needs to be justified.

That improvement in the labor market or the skills required to carry out high quality research, social mobility, training people to be active citizens, and more efficient education system in this activity from the competition are weighted against each other.

Recent graduates of higher education reform in Europe, rising unemployment and stressed the needs of the labor market.

The unemployment rate is not the cause of education

Three arguments are used to explain the need for reform.

One says that there is a mismatch between skills and labor market demands. The other is an oversupply of graduates, says that for certain areas. Then, for some reason enough to simply have a reform of the education system, high unemployment, argue that.

If these problems can affect or cause that a thorough examination of other factors. They go beyond the content or quality of education and research as a need to understand the root causes of graduate unemployment.

Pakistan is my country, including Canada became the fourth country I have been training. After getting a college credit at home, I do the United States and Dubai, as well as by pursuing a bachelor's degree in business and began my journey as an international student.

While there, I faced great difficulties on several levels.

The problems of racial discrimination had to adapt to the new environment and culture shock. Canadian comedian Russell Peters, Middle Easterners, blacks today I had to go through since 9/11 that they have to do, I found myself laughing out loud at one point that it was heard.

One thing's for sure: When Osama Bin Laden was killed in an extremely released. Often - - I have no clue what the answer was when I was released as "Bin Laden's" American asked by people in the south

Today, more than at any other time in our history, people often travel for many reasons. Travel is very important to the spread of globalization, but is looking to travel for educational purposes? Some say the international students, travelers or "foreigners taking advantage of our country's public education system looks like today?

Just a few weeks ago, the European Students Union (ESU) and the highest decision-making body - the board, made up of 39 countries, 47 national student union - the introduction of the European Masters Degree Credit Guarantee Scheme has adopted a resolution calling for the scrapping of the idea.

Previously, the perennial ESU 2014-20 financial framework (MFF) proposal in the context of all the new Erasmus had expressed serious concerns about this new tool. ESU detailing the position of the scheme can be found here.

ESU grants to loans as a means to support the student has a clear policy. The state financial support for higher education that needs to get a social responsibility that is associated with our firm belief.

Generally speaking, the more educated society and a more equal society, because it means the end of the day, a highly educated population and skilled labor training benefits more than the usual economic reasoning.

The purpose of Mobility 20%

But for a moment, leave aside the ideological battle is now on the table is a proposal to allow you to get back.

Four or five trees in a park. Turkey, supposedly because of their current crisis began. In fact, it is not so - we can get involved in environmental issues. He also was not about a person or a party; independent living and against the dictatorship, and the limitations of people's lives, was not about freedom of speech. Let me explain.

Turkish AKP - - Justice and Development Party, in power since 2002 and won three national general elections. With a growing percentage of the party vote in every election after that in the first place.

In addition, the AK Party in the last election in 2011 certainly looked very impressive sound, half won.

Such massive investments in the health system - rail, air and so on - the power over the years, have made such a huge infrastructure improvements in several important positive steps, Turkey is more powerful.

Power in the early years of the AKP's handling of foreign affairs and international security and prosperity in the region were appreciated and encouraged the government to play a growing role as a foreign policy of zero problems "was referred to as. The per capita gross domestic product has tripled in the same period.

During this time, the main opposition party (the Turkish CHP), the Republican People's Party, or visionary create a set of alternative policies could not impressed voters.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Recaps Tanya Endogen, as well as the broader political scene in the country was more powerful than his stand. Even within the party in power, members of the powerful seldom, Rogan’s autocratic style of leadership was against the policy of any party.

Out of touch with the economic reality of the increase in tuition fees

As it plans to limit the chances of students getting a higher education, which can have devastating consequences for the Armenian community in Armenia up to 30% increase in tuition fees.

Education fees are more than a dozen public and private universities increased 15% on average in May. The students only $ 260 a month when the average wage of US $ 1,048 a year to pay tuition fees that are not commensurate with the country's socio-economic development.

Students will no longer face with a grim image of the Armenian graduates; have been hit hard by the economic crisis and high unemployment.

European students are very concerned about the latest developments in Armenia, and it is against the policy of the Armenian National Student Association, or control of, support. On June 21, the European Students' Union in the field of higher education in Armenia has sent a letter of support of all key stakeholders.

The role of education in higher education union, civil society and the development of a strong economy and a knowledge-based society, it is important to provide equal opportunities for all, is a prerequisite for building.

Low unemployment rates, higher quality health care at a high level of education results, lower crime rates, better public involvement and higher tax returns.

Employability is a concept that should be considered as economic growth outside of the bubble. Higher education administered by the labor market, but not the needs of society. Higher education, it should be for everyone, and a human right.

The European Students' Union or ESU our entire community to come together on the development of higher education is recommended. An institution of higher education is not only responsible for global development. ESU everyone the best, unbiased contributions that will end only when it sees the development of higher education as a puzzle.

Consensus

Current trends in higher education should be based on in-depth discussion of values and priorities of the society we live in discussions on the future of higher education, has opened.

The consensus view and to achieve the objective, instead of the higher education and who is authorized to talk about the debate focused on the cooperation between all actors is very important.

ESU higher education is a public good and social responsibility. Therefore, they want to build everyone and higher education must be any word on what kind of society they want to achieve.

Students and representatives of the main actors in higher education, and local, national and international levels is an important contribution to the reform.

Nelson Mandela, South Africa as a young man, I have to ask myself quite a bit odd? Great for political reform among many other accolades - the I-democratic South Africa, 27 years, killed and imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner was the first black president, was taught.

Often, this knowledge impressed the crowd waving a colorful T-shirt with the image of the gray-haired man was accompanied; A withered man staring out of his prison cell on Robin Island; With fists raised in a boxing dress or a young gentleman.

But the 19-year-old democracy that brought Nelson Mandela, apartheid and oppression associated with new challenges never experienced a 21-year-old student?

"Born frees lessons for

Former achiever and contrasting image of a young warrior, applying the valuable lessons of my generation, gray hairs before revealing the identity of a young Nelson Mandela was through intelligence.

Mandela's parents were both illiterate and that he would be moving to the next generation of urban gardeners, and the miners were part of the village cattle grazing, but rather to be a lawyer and begin to work towards this limit.

Islamic and Asian Civilization Studies, or TITAS, of course, could be forced to students in private universities in Malaysia was announced that he caused great controversy.

Public universities in Malaysia are authorized to teach the students all Titans. Private universities more autonomy to extend the move higher was tense as the score.

(With the exception of Western part), reflecting Malaysia's ethnic configuration - TITAS about Islam, Malay, Indian, Chinese and Western culture that teaches a course. It is intended to cover high school that - content "talking about how we got here, have a history.

Surprisingly, some opposition members, such as mercury Raid Ramble subdued but clear lead in multi-ethnic Malaysia move supported the need for more cross-cultural understanding.

Ironically, Titans forced the politicians to support the implementation of those who have studied in the West - was forced to courses other than the ones that are integral to a degree, it's unheard of.

To what extent is the private higher institutions to intervene in this case is important because TITAS discussions.

The beginning of the new school year for the development of higher education students and student movements, what are you waiting for the perfect moment.

Currently, the student movement has struggled to maintain its leading principles and foundation - namely, higher education and the need to consider the public good and social responsibility.

. Ideas and almost reader who is familiar with the goals of higher education, I unfortunately have to answer that this is not the case, "but you have to talk to all governments do have common sense and principles" - and there are signs that he believed in the principles of decision-making it becomes extinct.

Problems with funding and student support

one thing is clear. it will be an even bigger problem than the financing of higher education. The university and the students are separated from the people, but also to the page - are cutting public funding of higher education.

You'll automatically get the largest share of funding for the education of students; they will have a harder time than the means to access and understand.

They want the students to treat a patient by cutting so they decided to get out of the crisis countries want to cut funds for higher education at the same time, it must be the voice of reason, because the heart.

Increasing access to retire the old giants is starting to move. The next generation, promotion and dissemination of post-secondary education as an opportunity to take responsibility for a universal public good, such as social responsibility and inalienable human right time to get an education.

Two major events in the international study recently proved that the student movement is ready and able to take on the challenge showed.

Mass phenomenon in Europe's elite franchise moved higher over the past year, organizations and governments radically change their statistics are hard to accept. However, access to higher education in the upper and middle levels of society still largely remains something.

The next step - in a universal higher education - governments, institutions and leaders of the imagination, vision and, most importantly, it requires courage. Simply put, other than the ability to act as elite institutions, and governments can no longer let them.

The main events in Thailand and Canada

during September and October, the remarkable alignment between their results and their sense of purpose of the participants, was held on the opposite side of the world.

QUEST Quality for Students by Students 'Union of the European project, and the expansion of quality assurance in higher education and students are increasingly involved in processes that can be made in certain areas, to analyze the quality of the students' ideas.

A research team has worked on this project for three years, and the results can be downloaded for free on the entire project, a book was published four research publications and has presented the results of the 31 October 2013.

Quality multi-dimensional concept

Discussions on the quality of higher education graduates and efficiency is often the case, such as the understanding of the transitional government led by economic indicators.

That the concept of quality of higher education policy-making arena, which the unions were upset by the higher education institutions and teacher unions.

QUEST students understood the project, a multi-dimensional understanding of the quality of higher education. Prepares students for active participation in the community as a way to advance their personal growth and to see higher education as a mere employment.

9 February 2014, Swiss voters approved a referendum aimed at restricting immigration to Switzerland. Until the situation is resolved, the European Union is one of the principles of free movement of people, be contrary to the principle that the EU's current negotiations with Switzerland suspended all.

In Switzerland, this decision will have a negative impact on students and researchers in the upcoming academic year to finance the Erasmus student exchange and research programs will be part of the + and Horizon 2020.

However, his performance more challenges for public higher education in Switzerland, depending on the result of the referendum can be developed.

Negotiations between the EU and Switzerland held a referendum before the end of them because it's not a problem for the above-mentioned programs will occur. Erasmus + Horizon 2020, the EU and the signing of contracts for the extension of the free movement of people from the new EU member Croatia has a case.

Since the referendum goes against the Swiss government decided to sign up for expansion after the vote. Therefore, the EU is likely to be effective in the next academic year, there will not be a part of the programs put negotiations on hold and Switzerland.

Education is the best, come to be understood not only as a tool for social development. Education for the economic well-being and resource markets are looking at purely as an instrumentalist approach to education was established following.

This industry-oriented educational approach has been applied to the initial vocational education and training. This approach to economic growth in the 1990s neo-liberalism, which is considered as a possible way to keep the progress of higher education has expanded, took over.

Industry-oriented training needs of society as a whole, reflecting the many goals of higher education as a public good, and the neglect of social responsibility, the industry caters to the needs of learning, teaching and assessment of an approach. It's a different education system to adapt to more standardization.

In this context, knowledge of the industry, higher education, labor market, education and human capital, such as higher education institutions and students as consumers and service providers, as is being considered. This approach reduces the numbers of people and customers.

The European Students' Union, or ESU, as consumers get the service trade and higher education students to solve as the thinking goes against the fundamental social values and norms. The EU member states have agreed on their approach is contrary to the European Higher Education Area communiqués.

In a few years, Finland has been international debate on the establishment of the tuition fees for students. Non-European Union and European Economic Area students (2010-14) of the tuition fee experiment with the incident has been reported several times in the University World News.

The judiciary, as well as the current government (2011-15) during the regime of restrictions on the rights of the government's spending the summer was discussed in the talks.

The two main export duties and the taxpayer's arguments centered education, but few are based on fallacies.

Education exports and fees "necessity"

The current education debate exported widely used argument "is based on the concept.

Studying abroad is something everyone should do at a young age. I thought people living abroad to shape the educational experience that helps you feel; other people, cultures and helps to open your mind to new ways to live life.

Italy - - Kent State University Upward Bound initiative to study abroad opportunity came my way. The program is ready for us, and the first generation of college, to increase educational opportunities for low-income students are working with students like me.

Upward bound for five years I was a student and I had many connections on campus. I entered the service was about the Kent State students the opportunity to study abroad, I would have been useful to me it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience knew.

One thing struck me is the fact that Italy has such a rich and beautiful culture. Florence, however, discuss the impact of the Roman Empire in Europe 'Roman achievement "took the class.

Florence was built during the Roman Empire; it still has some of the same building structures that are nice to see. Looking for a piece of art in Florence, looking at the history or the like. Everywhere there are stories of success and victory.

My name is Chan Him M. Cardiff University PhD research on cross-cultural theory, I'm out. I was studying and living in Hong Kong has increased tension between the Umbrella Movement as the United Kingdom has been working since I was 17, a citizen of Hong Kong - the occupation - and the government, I feel it's time to writing.

Mainland China, Hong Kong and the UK experience of growing up, I was never fully accepted by any of them.

The need to work outside of his area of expertise and work anywhere in the world, quickly make decisions and the ability to communicate with any kind of person, quick learner with interdisciplinary approach to solve the problem - I imagine being the 21st century's global manager.

How can acquire these skills?

Ideas picking a certain skill-set stage

Future trends, and many other different things I have done the necessary skills for a global manager to determine what the issues facing large corporations to report on the survey in about two months, time spent reading. I use LinkedIn and social media, so a couple of friends to identify the skills needed for an interdisciplinary, global manager. Here is what I learned:

Dares six key elements of the university's Professor of Entrepreneurship Ramjugernath, South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal University's pro vice-chancellor of the - it's a good teaching and learning, leadership and management capacity, encouraging entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial culture, cooperation and international stakeholders.

Innovation and entrepreneurial universities for the development and state-building was what was really expected, innovation, commercialization and entrepreneurship, pro vice-chancellor said.

"But universities are driven by formulas such subsidies, so it is driven by the world rankings, so they have lost perspective on what it means to be a university and do research in the country in terms of the number one or number two is to create a nation which is run.”

Vaal University of Technology, held October 19-21 Ramjugernath science park "Entrepreneurship Education for Economic Renewal," the eighth annual International Conference on Technology Network in South Africa's opening address was delivered in 2015.

A dizzying pace of change

the smart phone is used to describe the pace of change is dizzying. Sitting in front of a computer for people to move on all fours, despite receiving 15,000 years, there had been only 30 years to go on walks with your mobile device.

Netherlands all universities now offer entrepreneurship training and vocational colleges will be mandatory next year, said senior researcher Dr. Petra Gibbous. But the content is very different between the institutions and faculties - took too long to integrate entrepreneurship education and training.

Gibbous Panties, national and international decision-makers and customers to support the economic, social and conducts research in the field of transportation researcher for the Dutch company with 150 employees. According to the Netherlands, in Zoetermeer, Panties Belgium, Turkey, China, and has offices in Kazakhstan.

He Vaal University of Technology science park on October 19-21, the "Entrepreneurship Education for Economic Renewal," the eighth annual International Conference on Technology Network in South Africa in 2015, was presented.

An entrepreneur

According to Euro stat, Europe's most entrepreneurial in nature or necessity or self-employed in total employment of young Italians aged 19 to 15 have a lower proportion of young people, Gibbous said.

The ratio has grown slowly over the last decade - - Italy in 2014, 15% of this age group of young people in Europe and around 8% vs. the Netherlands and Germany, only 3% were self-employed.

The South African government candidates and sharply higher funding mechanisms are being used to enhance the production of scientific results. Now clever ways to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in higher education need to be found, Professor Ahmed Biwa, Durban University of Technology Vice-Chancellor said.

It is also for students to engage in entrepreneurial activity, and the driver of entrepreneurial activity for more opportunities for higher education in universities and business for the strong partnership between local stakeholders, including the "general education" component into the curriculum for the university said.

Vaal University of Technology, a science park in the province of Gauteng Biwa October 19-21, the "Entrepreneurship Education for Economic Renewal," the eighth annual International Conference on Technology Network in South Africa's opening address was delivered in 2015.

South Africa's biggest problems, low economic growth, unemployment and inequality are, Biwa said. Money sent by relatives working in cities - - but villages across the country, people have become reliant on remittances and economic activities of the local economies and communities lift themselves out of poverty, and therefore has the ability to destroy.

Only a lesson in business or work or knowledge of higher economic growth and that it is not about science. "It's very important, but it is more entrepreneurial activity. It is primarily a social activity.

"This is social justice. Self-sustainability of people and communities the ability to produce at a high level - we can make a massive restructuring of the entrepreneurial spirit. One of the problems that we face in the universities to understand how they interact."

It was the kind of exit designed to make a statement.
Last week all six editors and all 31 editorial board members resigned from Lingua, a prominent linguistics journal, after a disagreement with the journal’s publisher, Elsevier. The announcement re-energized concerns about the relationship between academics and for-profit companies, and the future of scholarly publishing.

[This is an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, America’s leading higher education publication. It is presented here under an agreement with University World News.]

Lingua’s editors were worried that some libraries could no longer afford the price of the publication. In a "renegotiation" letter they sent to Elsevier in early October, citing a "changing academic-publishing paradigm", they laid out a number of conditions. At the top of the list: Lingua would become a fully open-access publication, and Elsevier would grant the editors ownership of the journal.

But Elsevier rejected those proposals, and it plans to continue publishing Lingua under a new team.

Lingua is a hybrid open-access journal. Authors have the option of paying an US$1,800 publication fee to make their articles open access, or free of charge to readers. The journal’s editors wanted to make all articles open access, to lower the publication fee to around US$430, and to let authors retain copyright on their articles.

Elsevier responded in a statement on Wednesday. "Had we made the journal open access only and at the suggested price point, it would have rendered the journal no longer viable," said the statement, signed by Tom Roller, the company’s head of global corporate relations.

"There is great potential for the export of education in Finland, but the legal issues are blocking it. We are now taking steps to remove these barriers," said Grahn-Laasonen. "The objective is to study abroad, and therefore the resource base for selling research is to create more room for improvement."

Work identified several projects; including the export of Finnish education was carried out in Finland since 2009 to prepare strategies. The term "export education expertise" to facilitate adequate training process includes consulting services and technology solutions in the Finnish plans that have not been agreed.

Finnish exports in several business areas of education, virtual learning, as well as instances of public services through the use of multi-mode training methods have been developed to further education; Training game (for example, Rovigo product "Angry Birds"), and Fungi learning platform "Skills to build your dreams - your surrender" Snake language learning products and other products, such as learning.

Australian Research Council, in a speech, Senator Simon Birmingham, according to the minister for education and training, "very, very bad" needs to lift itself from the ranks of the commercialization of research.

He rankings, with other OECD countries, particularly in comparison, Australia "on the quality of research results among the best in the world" has to be said.

"But we are in terms of cooperation with the industry and the commercialization of research results point to Australia that will be critical over the next little while. We are very, very bad, because when it comes to research collaboration between universities and industry in terms of commitments," he said.

"We in industry and business, universities and research institutes and high-quality coverage and the ability to work with researchers to work innovatively, need to work together to ensure that, where possible, the ideas, the great career, eventually becoming a real difference to the results. "

He was A $ 357.7 million in 899 projects (US $ 256 million), the Australian Research Council grants announced the award as part of the announcement, speaking in Adelaide.
