1. New Zealand studenthood in neoliberal times.

Abstract

Ironically, despite universities and other tertiary education organisations being at the heart of the vaunted 'knowledge society', they tend to be remarkably un-self-reflexive: apart from a considerable outpouring of literature about the mal-effects of changes on academic staff. While students are endlessly called upon to provide survey information about various details of their university lives, they are seldom depicted 'in the round' in their social status as students. This article intends to repair these gaps. It begins with a conceptualisation of students in general and then as constructed by neoliberalism. It then explores the possibilities for empirically validating this model, drawing upon several wider surveys to explore the contemporary social conditions of students and to suggest further research.

Abstract

This article examines the selective preferences of students for tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria. It reveals that applicants' preferences for university education are elastic, culminating into a growing excess demand for university education. The article calls for reforms in Nigerian tertiary institutions to meet with the growing demand, such that permeability and flexibility in programmes is encouraged, as in developed nations, to minimise all forms of discrimination of their products. It is thus recommended that the three forms of tertiary institution in the country should be differentiated only beyond postgraduate studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This background report was written at a time when the Government of Bihar (GoB) was launching a number of reforms in higher education. A private universities bill passed the Bihar state assembly in April 2013 paving the way for opening of private universities in the state. A strong effort to encourage universities and colleges to obtain National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation has been initiated. The objective of this background report is to provide policy-makers and stakeholders in higher education in Bihar with an overview of the opportunities and challenges that the state is facing in terms of reaching the ambitious goals in mission manav vikas. The report analyzes the data and information which is readily available on the access, equity, excellence, and finance. It can also be used as a baseline for the state higher education plan in Bihar drafted as part of the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) process. The report is reflecting what has been possible to do in a short period of time with the available data and information.

Abstract

Indonesia has made significant increase in rural sanitation access and services from 20.64 percent in 2006 to 44.09 percent in 2013. A study conducted in 2012 estimated a capacity gap of 12,000-18,000 sanitation professionals (from engineers to community workers) to meet the 2015 millennium development goal (MDG) targets, with 30 percent of community health centers not having frontline sanitation personnel. Capacity building programs have so far been largely conducted by technical units, projects, and local government offices. Following an assessment on how and where to best address the issues, the technical assistance (TA) recommended a transformative approach, away from project-based cascading training where training is done at national level and then repeated and cascaded to provincial, district, sub-district, and village levels to an institutionalized capacity building program. The institutionalization of capacity building program targeted two primary audiences: future professionals (pre-service) addressed through integrating national strategy for community-based total sanitation (STBM) modules into health polytechnic schools curriculae and current professionals (inservice) addressed through accredited and certified training programs, with an additional e-learning scheme to reach out to a wider group of professionals and interested parties. The support to scale-up the use of the STBM human resource capacity building system can be provided via a circular letter of Ministry of Health (MoH) to local health offices and STBM partners. Continuous support through the MoH system to follow-up and evaluate outcomes of training and education will be key to sustainability and roll-out across all provinces of Indonesia.
