- To do or not to do transnational education? The UK higher education sector is world class by any objective measure, but that hasn’t prevented financial sustainability becoming an issue for many providers. International student numbers are almost certain to continue falling following recent changes, compounded by the government’s negative messaging and policy intent irrespective of the MAC review outcome. Given this reality and the absence of money for any future government to invest in higher education, whatever its political inclination, universities must look to their own means to augment and diversify their revenue streams. None of the available options are quick or easy – and it will be particularly challenging for those who missed the opportunity to harvest monies in the good times and invest them into assured future success. But we must find a way to embark on the decade long transformation that UK HE requires. One essential element is transnational education – the opportunities were outlined in a recent International Higher Education Commission report – but its potential is not realised 50% of students are in only 15 ιδρύματα. Often misplaced, concerns about quality assurance, investment costs and complex regulatory systems have prevented it from being more widely adopted; αλλά TNE has never really been difficult, ...

- Diane Ravitch's Blog: Samuel Abrams Is Stepping Down at the National Center on the Study of Privatization in EducationDiane Ravitch's Blog: Samuel Abrams Is Stepping Down at the National Center on the Study of Privatization in Education Educators and policymakers need unbiased analyses of the effects of privatization of education, and that is what the National Center on the Study of Privatization in Education at Teachers College, Columbia University has provided since it was founded by noted economist Henry Levin in 2000. Σε 2015, Levin stepped down and was succeeded by Samuel Abrams, who wrote a superb study of The Edison Project called Education and the Commercial Mindset. For the best nine years, Abrams has run NCSPE with integrity. Privatization is rapidly spreading around the globe, and the public needs a reliable source to keep watch on it. I hope that TC can find someone as able and thoughtful to succeed him. Samuel Abrams wrote this letter about his decision and the next chapter in his career: After nine years as the director of NCPSE, I’m writing to share that I’m stepping down to become the director of the International Partnership for the Study of Educational Privatization (IPSEP). IPSEP will be anchored at the National Education Policy Center (NEPC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Partner institutions will include, to start, ο ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα16 ώρες πριν
- Calls for PSW for sub-degree programs in NZSub-degree programs in New Zealand need to be able to offer post-study work rights, the peak body representing the country’s private training providers has said. The Independent Tertiary Education NZ says that degree level and above is currently able to see better growth than sub-degree level programs, with post-study work opportunities impacting students’ decisions. “The visa settings are not favourable for sub-degree programs,” ITENZ chief executive, Wayne Dyer, told The PIE. “The post-study work rights have been more restrictive for the sub-degree programs and that has impacted quite a lot of providers – for them, that’s a critical issue.” The association, which represents some 140 private training establishments in New Zealand (μεταξύ 43-50 of whom actively recruit for international students), is lobbying the government for increased work opportunities. New rules were brought in for non-degree level courses σε 2022, meaning that students on courses below level 7 – unless the qualification is included in a specific skill shortage list – could no longer gain access to work in the country after finishing their studies. The decision came in after a consultation process was announced in 2018. Ωστόσο,, ITENZ is understood to be buoyed by a change in government last year, with the National party’s manifesto featuring post-study work pledges. Christopher ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα19 ώρες πριν

- Turing funding comes “too late” to widen participationUniversities must think creatively about how to get the best value for money out of the Turing Scheme amid a “grim” fiscal environment, UK Department of Education deputy director told study abroad staff at conference on May 2. Responding to ongoing concerns from UK universities about the Turing Scheme’s funding model preventing widening participation in study abroad, Lya Noon deputy director of the DofE told university staff that she had heard their frustrations “loud and clear” and would put the “best possible business case” forward to ministers. The Turing Scheme was introduced in 2021 as the UK’s equivalent to the EU’s Erasmus+ exchange program, providing funding for students to study abroad with a particular focus on disadvantaged students. Ωστόσο,, delegates of Universities UK’s 2024 International Higher Education Forum expressed frustration that Turing funding comes too late in the year, deterring students without their own savings from applying for study abroad programs without the guarantee of funding before the course begins. “My colleagues are getting increasingly nervous about saying anything about Turing because they don’t know if there’s enough money for students. Είναι, all they can say is that there’s a possibility of funding but that doesn’t help,” said Gabriele Vosseberg, ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα1 day πριν
