Abstract:

Evaluations of the Higher Education Sector are receiving increased attention, due to the rising expenditures and the absence of efficiency enhancing market pressure. To what extent universities are able to eliminate inefficiency is a question that has only partially been answered. This paper argues that heterogeneity among universities as well as persistent inefficiency hinder the institutions to achieve full efficiency - at least in the short run. Two standard and one novel specification of the Stochastic Frontier Analysis are applied to a new, comprehensive set of panel data to show how the

Abstract:

Climate change and the rapid rise of greenhouse gas emissions are emerging as one of the greatest challenges for the modern world. Organisations are under increasing pressure from governments and stakeholders to reduce carbon emissions from their business operations for climate change mitigation. The Higher Education (HE) sector has significant social, environmental and economic impacts alongside a key leadership role in society and is not exempt from challenging carbon reduction targets, as outlined in the UK Government’s Climate Change Act 2008. In 2005, total HE carbon emissions were 3.339

A new phase of higher education in Bangladesh begun in the 1990s in which a remarkable transformation took place in the higher education system, largely based on market-driven economic forces.

It formulated a twenty-year Strategic Plan for Higher Education 2006-2026 (SPHE) in 2006. Consequently economic as well as political goals became drivers of the higher education system.

Abstract:

Due to NPM reforms, strategic management, which has been defined as "the broader process of managing an organization in a strategic manner on a continuing basis", becomes a relevant feature within the public higher education sector. Although empirical research increased considerably, many countries have been neglected. Among these, there is the Italian context. The present thesis is part of this field of investigation with the aim, through the application of Miles and Snow's strategic framework in the Italian public higher sector, to contribute to filling the gap mentioned above.

Abstract:

Libya traditionally suffers from a shortage of skilled manpower. In the 1990s a network of higher education institutions (HEIs) known as Public Higher Vocational Education and Training Colleges (PHVETCs), was introduced to enhance the supply of necessary qualified manpower. As in many other countries, HEIs in Libya have experienced massive expansion in terms of quantitative growth and geographic distribution in recent years. However, despite significant and positive impacts of this expansion on the society, a number of analysts argue that HEIs have increased in number and not in quality. The a

Abstract:

Prior to 1999, higher education in Libya was monopolized by the public sector and there was considerable public resistance to the establishment of private universities. The impetus for the private higher education policy was created by a number of pressures on public policy for higher education, which had been adopted by Gaddafi’s government for two decades. This study explores the efforts of Gaddafi’s regime to cope with this issue.

Focusing on their role as educators, one of the central concepts of education for sustainable development is global citizenship, where for UK HEIs the recruitment of international students and study abroad schemes have been a fundamental way of encouraging home students to develop global perspectives. However, this approach conflicts with the sector's low-carbon agenda due to the significant emissions from air travel (here
