Book Synopsis Handbook of Education Systems in South Asia by : Padma M. Sarangapani
Download or read book Handbook of Education Systems in South Asia written by Padma M. Sarangapani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-08-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is an important reference work in understanding education systems in the South Asia region, their development trajectory, challenges and potential. The handbook includes the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries for discussion---Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka---while also considering countries such as Myanmar and the Maldives that have considerable shared history in the region. Such a comparative perspective is largely absent within the literature given the present paucity of intra-regional interaction. South Asian education systems are viewed primarily through a development lens in terms of inequalities, challenges and responses. However, the development of modern institutions of education and the challenges that it faces requires cultural and historical understanding of indigenous traditions as well as indigenous modern thinkers and education movements. Therefore, this encompassing referenc e work covers indigenous education traditions, formal education systems, including school and preschool education, higher and professional education, education financing systems and structures, teacher education systems, addressing huge linguistic and other diversities, and marginalization within the formal education system, and pedagogy and curricula. All the countries in this region have their own unique geographical, cultural, economic and political character and histories of interest and significance, and have responded to common issues such as overcoming the colonial legacy, language diversity, or girls’ education, or minority rights in education, in uniquely different ways. The sections therefore include country-specific perspectives as far as possible to highlight these issues. Internationally renowned specialists of South Asian education systems have contributed to this important reference work, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and students of education interested in South Asia.

Book Synopsis Global Science’s Cooperation Opportunities, Challenges, and Good Practices by : Moussaoui, Mohamed
Download or read book Global Science’s Cooperation Opportunities, Challenges, and Good Practices written by Moussaoui, Mohamed and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science diplomacy gives possibilities for international diplomacy and science policy to collaborate to more directly address social and global challenges, such as successful diplomatic engagement, international scientific coordination, and policy coherence in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, most academic scientists lack policy process training, networking opportunities with science policymakers, and the capacity to use their expertise in the field to advance policy or diplomacy. These barriers limit scientists' research impact, inhibit science-policy relations, reduce science recommendations, and restrict university engagement in national and international contexts. The origins of science diplomacy have yet to be closely examined, and its current format does not give a clear understanding of how it concretely translates into science policy actions. Global Science’s Cooperation Opportunities, Challenges, and Good Practices provides a comprehensive overview of science diplomacy and its evolution in history and analyzes the ways in which politics, science, and diplomacy intertwine. The book also provides a critical review of science diplomacy by exposing its limitations in addressing global challenges and by reflecting on the specific questions relating to the adaptation of the science diplomacy concept to the context of the Global South. Covering key topics such as climate change, foreign policy, and energy consumption, this premier reference source is ideal for policymakers, government officials, politicians, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Book Synopsis Higher Education in India - Assailing Challenges; Assuring Quality by : V. Basil Hans
Download or read book Higher Education in India - Assailing Challenges; Assuring Quality written by V. Basil Hans and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education in India today is in a transformative stage, both in structure and content. Conventional concept of education in general and higher education in particular is changing - albeit slowly - largely due to globalisation and the advancement of new technologies in information and communication. Financial viability and social mobility in and through higher education has improved. Perhaps this is only a glittering scene. On the one side of the ocean (of knowledge) we have those possess and profess the virtues of higher education. On the other side there is a vast section of population that either has no access to higher education or has found fewer returns from investing/innovating in the field of higher education. For a vast populated and socially diverse emerging country like India higher education becomes all the important to supplant physical capital with social capital to achieve faster economic growth along with social cohesion, cultural 'development' and ethical uprightness in all fields. While there is a growing demand for access to higher education, the challenges in providing quality higher education are by no means small - lack of wherewithal being primary. While size seems to be the focus by planners and entrepreneurs in the field, quality has suffered due to massification, commoditisation, and poor demonstration. Failed strategies and low incentives continue to bane serious students, researchers and teachers. Even the some educational philosophers and philanthropists do not “walk the talk”. There is mismatch between knowledge, skills, enterprise and equity both ex ante and ex post. How then can India - the ancient seat of learning - claim to be the knowledge power-house today? At this juncture the present paper is an attempt to study the problems and challenges in advanced studies and research in India and explore ways of addressing them. We prefer a holistic and integrated approach by students, teachers and policy-makers of higher education and not only intellectual and commercial propositions.

Book Synopsis Understanding and Improving the Student Experience in Higher Education by : Jan Bamford
Download or read book Understanding and Improving the Student Experience in Higher Education written by Jan Bamford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the challenges of improving the student experience in higher education through a ‘third space’ perspective. This key text studies a variety of approaches by drawing on higher education policy, interviews with academics working in third space roles in higher education in the UK, France, Germany, Holland, North America and Italy, as well as auto-ethnographic narratives. The chapters consider key topical areas affecting student experience including academic support, assessment and feedback, creative approaches to pedagogy, approaches to supporting international students and students as partners. This work offers further insights into the way in which the ‘third space’ roles are so important to the functioning of higher education institutions and the ways in which the improvement of the student experience is inexorably intertwined with those in such roles. With evaluative and practice-based insights into embedding institutional changes to improve student outcomes, this book bridges the gap between academia and administration and is ideal reading for anyone interested in improving the student experience within their institution.
Book Synopsis Decision Sciences and Technology for Globalisation (ISDSI_2008) by : B.S. Sahaye
Download or read book Decision Sciences and Technology for Globalisation (ISDSI_2008) written by B.S. Sahaye and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not uncommon to find books and other publications in the literature dealing individually with the subjects of 'decision sciences', 'technology' and ' globalisation' However, there are very few instances of books which integrate these three dimensions in an umbrella framework. This publication is one such attempt. This book comprises of 58 papers contributed by leading academia from universities and management institutes in India and abroad. Many of the contributions have come from USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Bahrain, Taiwan, Brazil and Mexico, adding to the rich diversity of the thought processes explored in the papers. Some of these papers are country-specific, while some others provide a transnational perspective. Also, while some papers provide enriched conceptual frameworks in specific disciplines, building upon existing frameworks, several other papers provide application-oriented coverage, focused at select organizations or industries, further adding unique value to this book. There are eight sections in the book, namely: Supply Chain Management Operations Management Information Systems & ICT IT & E-Business Strategies Business Modeling Global Business: Issues & Challenges Marketing and Globalisation New Paradigms in Education and Globalisation The issues touched upon by various papers within each section are diverse and yet highly relevant and contemporary. We believe this book would be useful not only to academia, research scholars and students of various disciplines of management, but also to those in the industry in India and abroad, who are seeking conceptual inputs and experience sharing in their respective positions.
Book Synopsis 2030 Agenda and India: Moving from Quantity to Quality by : Sachin Chaturvedi
Download or read book 2030 Agenda and India: Moving from Quantity to Quality written by Sachin Chaturvedi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a selection of multifaceted development issues involving social, economic and environmental aspects, in order to inspire and guide implementation of the United Nations’ SDGs. It focuses on economic development, human well-being and sustainable pathways, with special attention to financial and knowledge resources, as well as measurement concepts. In doing so, the book draws a distinction between sustainability and sustainable pathways by refraining from dealing with broader and more direct environmental sustainability issues like climate change, environmental degradation and sustainable energy. The choice of topics, apart from their relevance for India, was guided by their importance in connection with multiple SDG goals. In addition to revealing the intricacies of systemic relationships and the dilemmas they create in policy choices, the book examines the role of actors and the critical importance of partnerships to help readers comprehend the breadth of diversities and inter-linkages involved. The roles of the central and state governments, the parliament and the state assemblies, the civil society, UN agencies and district-level authorities are separately explored in depth. Sharing valuable insights, the book encourages policymakers, practitioners and scholars to move towards a sustainable and equitable economy, and supports them in their efforts.
Book Synopsis Quality Assurance in Higher Education by : Stamelos Georgios
Download or read book Quality Assurance in Higher Education written by Stamelos Georgios and published by Studera Press. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significant growth of number of students enrolled in tertiary education institutions in the recent past decades has caused an unprecedented expansion of higher education systems. The rapid and constant social, economic and technological mutations and international competition make the importance of qualitatively well-educated citizenry and labor forces very decisive. Globalization has developed a powerful impact on the development of higher education and imposes new challenges for the organization (standards, financing, regulations). Systems of higher education tend to detach from the national models and adopt a more "global" orientation. The implementation of quality assurance is one of the recent and most decisive transformations of higher education. Different higher education systems are trying to develop assessment tools (internal and external) to improve the quality of teaching, research and extension activities, and these are either based on experiences of selected countries or are extensively country specific. The quality assurance procedures that were often dependent on national directorial traditions have gradually tended to converge and led to a setup of common tools and standards. Countries under a centralized system tend to impose a uniform and general model while decentralized systems give greater freedom to universities to set up their own quality. International rankings of universities also contribute to impose a set of transnational standards and values, which is also being considered as indicative by the stakeholders. The present book tries to look at the quality assurance mechanism, international rankings and its impact in both absolute and comparative fashion in context of 11 countries from different parts of the world.
