Tanmateix, a causa de la crisi econòmica més recent, s’han produït retrocessos preocupants en un moment en què s’ha avivat el debat internacional sobre la conveniència de convertir l’educació superior en un bé privat comercialitzable. Aquest llibre analitza com ha de respondre la universitat catalana als nous reptes sense renunciar al seu compromís social, mantenint-se al servei i a l’abast de la ciutadania. Amb aquest propòsit, aplega punts de vista de membres de la comunitat universitària, així com d’associacions cíviques i entitats socials vinculades a l’àmbit acadèmic, i insta a celebrar un IV Congrés Universitari Català que estableixi les directrius de la universitat catalana del se...

Na ausencia de melhor opcao, recorreram a mim, nao sem antes me advertirem de que nao desejavam em absoluto um estudo sociologico repleto de numeros e de dados estatisticos. Tratava-se, deixaram claro, de dizer se Brasilia era um mito ou uma realidade e de contar como viviam os primeiros habitantes desta capital inaugurada no dia 21 de abrtil de 1960.

CRES, a la cual le siguio, el dia 15 de junio de 2018, la Jornada del Centenario donde se han conmemorado oficialmente los 100 anos de la Declaracion y de la Reforma de Cordoba. En esta ocasion, se ha formulado una nueva declaracion fiel a Cordoba 1918, en la cual se reafirma el caracter de bien publico de la educacion superior, se destaca la necesidad de articulacion entre la educacion superior y la sociedad, se mantiene la defensa de la autonomia, se insiste en el acceso universal a la educacion superior y se estimula la integracion latinoamericana.

Estas medidas son presentadas en el ambito nacional, regional o internacional como si tuvieran por objetivo garantizar la calidad y proteger a paises y estudiantes de los «malos productos educativos» y de los proveedores de servicios educativos fraudulentos. Los sistemas de acreditacion tambien son considerados un instrumento que permite a la educacion superior hacer frente a las transformaciones que tienen lugar en la economia, la sociedad y la civilizacion, las cuales, en muchos aspectos, pueden ser consideradas mas importantes que los cambios que ocurrieron en el mundo durante la Revolucion Industrial. La piedra angular de esta evolucion es el conocimiento. La creacion de conocimiento y la forma en que se maneja, asi como el control de la informacion, son herramientas fundamentales de que se valen los paises desarrollados para lograr y afianzar su poder en un mundo globalizado. Sin embargo, la creacion de conocimiento, asi como su difusion y aplicacion, tambien son esenciales para salvaguardar el futuro de los paises en vias de desarrollo.

Thus CEPES created EGAA (European Group on Academic Assessment) and the Division of Higher Education stressed the questions of quality in higher education in a recently prepared UNESCO draft policy paper. A strong component of the UNESCO UNITWIN and UNESCO Chairs Programme is directed at improving the quality of universities and university programmes in developing countries. The effort in favour of quality thus dovetails into other policies and actions of UNESCO, such as those in favour of the development of Centres of Excellence in the academic world. Yet quality improvement should not mean the imposition of one university model throughout the world but drawing upon what is best in local customs and indigenous culture. *This article is a slightly revised version of the speech whic...

For many reasons, accreditation has become an important issue for higher education, which has occurred during a period in which there has been a major shift in values. Higher education, always considered primarily a public good, is increasingly being transformed into a predominantly private good; a commodity that could be subject to trade rules. Basic questions should be answered before any action is taken in this field. Accreditation for what purpose and for which qualities? Who will be the gatekeepers of the system and what will be their criteria? The implications of the concepts of quality and of accreditation, and the methods adopted in this field, will produce consequences not only at economic and financial levels but also in terms of the cultural, social and political life of institutions and nations. In 19...
