Higher Education in 2040 - Bert van der Zwaan - eBook (9789048535170)

This book explores the future of modern higher education by looking at it on a global scale. Bert van der Zwaan compares European developments with those taking place in North America and Asia to argue that the phoenix of an entirely new type of university will rise from the ashes of the classical system: less tied to buildings and set locations, the new university will embed itself more deeply in society by offering innovative forms of digital knowledge and making customized teaching available on demand. A timely discussion of a topic whose worldwide impact continues to grow, this is essential reading for anyone concerned about the state of higher education-both for today's students and in the decades to come.

Balancing freedom, autonomy and accountability in education - Paperback (9789058509260)

Freedom, autonomy and accountability are commonly regarded as very important, but policy-makers do not always pay sufficient attention to the tensions among them. Thus freedom or school autonomy may be sacrificed to accountability, or accountability may be weakened in an effort to provide a wider range of choices for parents, or to give more decision-making authority to individual schools. The authors are convinced that wise design and implementation can produce a successful balance among freedom, autonomy, and accountability, and that considering the approaches adopted by different educational systems can contribute both to design and to implementation. This four volume collection presents a worldwide overview of the status of freedom, autonomy, and accountability in education, with detailed information on forty countries. This publication is a useful reference manual for students, government officials, educational lawyers and policy-makers. Volume 1provided general essays on historic…

Migrant Penalties in Educational Achievement - Camilla Borgna - eBook (9789048530991)

The integration of second-generation immigrants is a major challenge for European societies. Although born in the host societies, students of immigrant origin often have shorter and less successful educational careers than their native counterparts. Combining statistical and configurational methods, this book investigates whether and why, by the end of compulsory schooling, second-generation immigrants experience a disadvantage in reading, mathematics and science literacy. Migrant achievement penalties exist in all the 17 Western European countries analysed, but they are particularly large in countries where social inequalities in education are milder. This apparent paradox suggests that educational systems traditionally seen as egalitarian might not provide the best learning opportunities to students of immigrant origin. Even in comprehensive systems penalties can be large, if second-generation immigrants are segregated in low-quality schools; conversely, an early inclusion into the s…

Educational mobility of second-generation Turks - Phillipp Schnell - eBook (9789048523184)

This volume investigates educational inequalities among children of Turkish immigrants in Austria, France, and Sweden. One of the largest immigrant groups in these countries, Turks nonetheless face discrimination and limited opportunities, and this study shows how those problems play out in education. One of its key findings is that systems that provide more favorable institutional arrangements lead to greater economic mobility in the second generation. -Philipp Schnell is a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and affiliated researcher at the Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies.

The University of Groningen in the World - Guus Termeer, Klaas van Berkel - eBook (9789048555055)

The University of Groningen, situated in the northern part of the Netherlands, is a top-100 university with a distinguished history that dates back to 1614. Over the centuries it evolved, with ups and downs, from a small provincial and confessional university into a large, internationally oriented institution of higher education with a strong track record in scientific research and scholarship. This history is followed up to the present, which saw a remarkable recent surge in internationalisation in both research and education. The thesis underlying the story is that the internationalization of higher education in Groningen, and in the Netherlands at large, is in fact nothing but a return to a situation that existed during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when both the professors and the students were to a large degree recruited from abroad. The story ends with a short paragraph on the impact of the corona crisis.
