HIGHER EDUCATION:

pressures

from the State to Higher Education Institutions

costs – funding uncertainty

Corporate Universities
Corporate universities are developed by those
corporations who have shifted their focus from
employee training to employee education as a
result of "the emergence of the knowledge
economy"
Many corporations believe that through continued
employee education, they can "achieve strategic
goals and performance improvement"

HARMONIZATION &
CONVERGENCE
The idea underlying the Bologna Declaration (BD) is
to establish a European Higher Education (HE) Area, to
enhance compatibility, comparability and
transparency of higher education institutions through
convergent reforms aimed to provide better
mobility of students and teachers in the function of the free
market and better employability.
ACCREDITATION
One type of quality assurance in higher education, leading to
some kind of formal judgment based on implicit
or explicit quality standards.
A process of recognizing higher education institutions or
programs for performance, integrity and quality, that entitles
them to the confidence of the educational community and
the public.
CONCLUSION
The drivers of change in higher education are the
globalization in general, impacts of information and
communications technologies, massification of tertiary
systems all over the world, the 'public good' versus 'private
good' debate etc.
The major trends and paradigms are deregulation,
liberalization and privatization of higher education, trans-
national higher education, the idea of entrepreneurial
university, academic mobility, quality assurance systems
and accreditation, the philosophy of life-long learning, e-
learning, interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity learning
and the governance of higher education etc.
