	Education - Tertiary Education
		Good quality, merit-based, equitable, efficient tertiary education and research are essential parts this transformation.
		In the 1970s and 1980s much of the support provided by World Bank tertiary education projects was piecemeal, with a narrow focus on the establishment of new programs or on discrete quality improvement measures for existing teaching and research activities.
		In the United States, Boston College's Center for International Higher Education (CIHE) and the State University of New York's campuses at Albany and at Buffalo are notable centers for research on international tertiary education, as is the Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) at the University of Twente in the Netherlands.

		Such an improved interaction should facilitate exchange programmes of staff between the tertiary education sector, government agencies and the minerals industry, in order that each is better informed about the requirements of the other, and also the student placement programmes in the minerals industry, that are a valuable component of minerals-related tertiary education.
		Undergraduate geoscience education needs to recognise the range of stakeholders including the minerals and petroleum sectors, government agencies, academia and others, and their common requirement for graduates with a solid geoscience education and the ability to apply principles to problem solving.

		Tertiary education is a key part of lifelong learning and a cornerstone of today’s knowledge society.
		Tertiary education is where the pressures of growth and change are most acutely felt.
		And even though the growth in the level of tertiary participation in education has slowed in OECD countries since the start of the 1990s, the participation rate – which is the overall proportion of any post-school age group attending tertiary education – is rising (Table 1).

	Higher education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tertiary education is normally taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as vocational education and training.
		Higher education includes teaching, research and social services activities of universities, and within the realm of teaching, it includes both the undergraduate level (sometimes referred to as tertiary education) and the graduate (or postgraduate) level (sometimes referred to as graduate school).

		Investment in education is not only a critical ingredient in developing a country's human/intellectual capital asset, but it is also necessary to effectively engage in the rapidly growing global trade in educational services.

		Since education is considered a key ingredient for economic growth and development, migration of individuals with tertiary level education, the so-called "brain drain", is a source of concern.
