International Higher Education #28/3 Tertiary education is central to the creation of the intellectual capacity on which knowledge production and utilization depend and to the promotion of lifelong learning practices. Among these unresolved challenges are the sustainable expansion of tertiary education coverage, the reduction of inequalities of access and outcomes, the improvement of educational quality and relevance, and the introduction of more effective governance structures and management practices. First, that tertiary education investments generate major external benefits that are crucial for knowledge-driven economic development, including the long-term returns from basic research and technology development and the social benefits accruing from the construction of more cohesive societies. www.bc.edu /bc_org/avp/soe/cihe/newsletter/News28/text003.htm   (1169 words)

MOST Ethno-Net publication: Cultural Paradox in SA Tertiary Institutions Institutions of higher learning must begin to interrogate their commitments, roles and responsibilities in the context of development, transformation, democratic norms and values as they have a constitutional obligation to implement education policies. Tertiary institutions must see themselves as part and parcel of the current problems simultaneously as part of a solution to steer and direct public executive institutions to the right direction by so doing they will be meaningfully contributing to the transformation of entire society. Albeit African tertiary institutions are associated with western educational practices, authorities and academics must be clear and refrain from using the concept in a generic sense. www.ethnonet-africa.org /pubs/papbwise.php   (6314 words)

Gender Studies Tertiary institutions were expected to educate and train males to replace departing male colonial civil servants. The immediate constraint to increased enrollments for females in tertiary institutions is that owing to the poor quality of girls’ secondary school education in most countries female candidates perform poorly in the matriculation examinations whether these are the end of secondary level exams or special entrance exams for tertiary institutions. One way in which tertiary institutions have attempted to address this problem is by designing programmes that equip their graduates with the knowledge and skills that are perceived to be relevant to their countries’ human resource needs. www2.ncsu.edu /ncsu/aern/genbun.htm   (7160 words)

Mmegi Online | Opinion/Letters Institutional Climate represented a final key issue of concern with a constant sense of dismay spanning all generations about what went on within some of our tertiary education institutions. Botswana's tertiary education has a key responsibility for meeting the needs of an increasingly market-driven, knowledge-based economy and this is where the pressures of growth and change are already being experienced. Thus, it argues further, tertiary education must go hand in hand with skills development, and both must be part of a broader strategy that links the supply of knowledge and skills to the demand for human resources. www.mmegi.bw /2006/November/Friday24/583611419704.html   (630 words)

Tertiary Education in New Zealand Some institutions offer preparation courses for IELTS or (less commonly) TOEFL as a part of their pre-entry English courses, but these cannot normally be credited towards a degree or diploma. In addition to pre-entry English, a growing number of tertiary institutions are offering foundation studies programmes to students wishing to do an undergraduate degree or diploma, but whose academic or English-language proficiency is not sufficient for them to gain direct entry to the programme of their choice. All New Zealand tertiary institutions recognize the particular difficulties which international students, especially those for whom English is a second language, face during their studies. www.studyoverseas.com /newzld/nzunis.htm   (773 words)

LEARNING BY TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS The institutions with their lecturing staff would typically decide influenced by their research and opinion what the most relevant study material for students should be. That is why one could increasingly expect the establishment of alliances or partnerships between the tertiary institutions themselves as well as with the public and private sectors. Tertiary institutions will become much closer to each other in the development, production and delivery of academic programmes and these programmes will be driven mainly by the needs of the learners. www.icte.org /T00_Library/Popospeech.htm   (2144 words)

Academic freedom and the autonomy of tertiary institutions Academic freedom is as important as any other right because it enables universities and other tertiary institutions to do their job of generating and disseminating knowledge and information effectively. This view may be based on the fact that universities are heavily subsidised by the government and for many an institution that is subsidised by the government cannot claim any autonomy from government control in line with the saying that he who pays the piper calls the tune. Another justification for academic freedom is that universities are regarded as institutions for the generation and dissemination of knowledge. general.rau.ac.za /aambeeld/june1997/academic.htm   (3220 words)

RNZFB - Tertiary Education Commission draft strategic plan There is evidence that tertiary institutions believe they cannot meet the costs of some accessible formats, principally braille. Tertiary institutions would be able to use this service rather than paying on an item by item basis for those formats they cannot produce locally - or, in effect, rather than not funding as much as they should because readers are encouraged to accept a non-preferred format that is cheaper. Individual tertiary institutions do not have the skill or capacity to produce braille that conforms to the codes as determined by the Braille Authority of New Zealand. www.rnzfb.org.nz /newsandevents/submissions/tertiaryeducationcommissiondraftstrategicplan   (1089 words)

Internationalizat Sale of Tertiary Education: Strategic Issues It is important to view the international sale of tertiary education in the wider context of the general objectives of tertiary institutions. Tertiary institutions are operating in an environment partly specified by governments. If institutions are to achieve their chosen objectives, it is necessary for them to have internal structures which are consistent with individuals making the required contributions. econ.massey.ac.nz /cppe/papers/edexp.htm   (4774 words)

Home | Institutions of Philanthropy Institutions of Philanthropy explores how one person's desire to practice the primary definition of philanthropy leads to the establishment and workings of the tertiary definition, as by founding an institution with the goal of promoting human welfare. By examining several different foundations, all with different goals, this site hopes to demonstrate the importance of philanthropic institutions on the quality of life within the global society as well as the values of each family or individual that made the idea of a philanthropic institution a reality.

LCQ3: Accidents involving chemicals in tertiary institutions (c) All tertiary institutions are statutory autonomous bodies which have the responsibility to ensure that their safety facilities are in compliance with the prevailing legislation. In order to comply with the requirements of the legislation, every tertiary institution with laboratories has issued guidelines and codes of practice for their students and laboratory technicians to ensure that all dangerous goods are used, stored, conveyed and disposed of in a proper manner. Moreover, the institutions have appointed their own safety officers who will make recommendations on the environmental health and safety conditions of the laboratories, render assistance to different departments in implementing the safety policy and ensure that the environmental setting of the laboratories and the relevant procedures are in compliance with the requirements of the legislation. www.info.gov.hk /gia/general/200105/09/0509246.htm   (650 words)

Guidelines of best practices for partnerships between tertiary institutions in Africa Because international partnerships between tertiary institutions and their faculty, administrators, and students are diverse in their purposes and methods, any criteria for best practices should not be applied rigidly. The partners are innovative in seeking to direct institutional resources to the partnership, such as through asymmetrical study abroad programs that bring African post-graduates to study in foreign institutions in exchange for foreign undergraduates studying in Africa. Constancy of goals - In the event that there are changes in the institutional leadership of one of the partners, every effort will be made to honor the original goals and activities of the partners as established in the original agreement and subsequent negotiations. www.isp.msu.edu /AfricanStudies/BestPractices.htm   (842 words)

SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Tertiary Sector She noted that in the time of great change in the tertiary sector, with the free market in tertiary education, coupled with the widespread view of falling standards in education, it was imperative to reassure the public on the need to accept the new institutions to complement the traditional ones. Students studying at wananga (Maori-focused tertiary institutions) have the highest rate of progression from certificate level courses to higher level courses in the tertiary sector. The share of the manufacturing sector employment is expected to decline from 35 per cent to 27 per cent and the share of the tertiary sector is slated to rise from 64 per cent to 72 per cent during the 1990-2011 period. economics.surfwax.com /files/Tertiary_Sector.html   (3979 words)

Tertiary institutions slashed to 21 There would be 11 universities, six technikons and four comprehensive institutions - presenting university and technikon programmes. In addition, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape, the only two provinces without their own universities, would get national institutes for higher education to ensure the cohesive provision of such education being provided in those provinces. In Gauteng, the Rand Afrikaans University is to merge with the Technikon Witwatersrand to form a comprehensive institution. www.news24.com /News24/South_Africa/0,,2-7_1192517,00.html   (254 words)

Education - Tertiary Education   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Improved and accessible tertiary education and effective national innovations systems can help a developing country progress toward sustainable achievements in the Millennium Development Goals, particularly those goals related to all levels of education, health, and gender equity. 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. web.worldbank.org /WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTEDUCATION/0,,contentMDK:20298183~menuPK:617592~pagePK:148956~piPK:216618~theSitePK:282386,00.html   (1006 words)

Guest speaker's speech-matriculation 2002 As you are aware, the CUC is one of the pioneering private tertiary institutions in the country. I therefore, wish to urge you to consider the possibility of the introduction of distance education as one of the means of expanding access to tertiary education. Private participation in tertiary education takes a chunk of the burden of funding off the shoulder of government, and as students pay for the provision of education in private tertiary education institutions, it create the awareness for the need for cost sharing in the public tertiary education institutions. www.centraluniversity.org /prof-2002.htm   (1085 words)

Academics grapple with the role of tertiary institutions in sustainable development South African tertiary education institutions also face other unique challenges to sustainable development, based on transitions and transformations within curricula since the release of the National Plan for Higher Education document. He states that although some institutions are busy recruiting and helping development and sustainable projects in the Southern African region, few institutions are starting to respond to globalisation issues or embracing technology in curricula for sustainable development. Filho, who is also the editor, says, "The aim of the edition is to document and further disseminate the experiences presented at the event internationally, (and) it will serve the purpose of informing those who are unable to be there". www.scienceinafrica.co.za /2002/august/emsu.htm   (754 words)

Vanguard - Education: Repositioning our tertiary institutions for delivering virtual education A virtual educational institution, according to the Commonwealth of Learning, is one that directly or indirectly uses Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to provide educational services to people in massive scale. Just as a virtual educational institution affords students who reside close to it for the opportunity to learn, it also offer educational services to students who are located at considerable distances. In recent times, post secondary educational institutions in Nigeria have been under tremendous pressure to adopt virtual education as a response to diminishing budget, need to reach students other than their traditional clientele, and adapt current development in information technology for their delivery of instruction. www.vanguardngr.com /articles/2002/features/education/edu322122005.html   (591 words)
